Ae jingaan jinukku thaan
Indhaa unakku thaan chittu kuruvi
Ada bandhaa edhukkuyaa
Pandha uruttuyaa thottu thazhuvi
Nyaan keralathu kunjallo
Unna konja vandha pinjallo
Idhu chakka pazha chaarallo
Pon ambalatthu thaerallo
Thirichooril premaa nyaanae chaettaa
Ae jingaan jinukku thaan
Indhaa unakku thaan chittu kuruvi
Ada bandhaa edhukkuyaa
Pandha uruttuyaa thottu thazhuvi
Nee sanyaasi vesham pottu
Siva sambonnu pogaadhae
Nee ippodhae romba late
Enna ambonnu aakkaadhae
Adikkidhae oodha kaathu
Thudikkidhae eera naathu
Iduppula kaiya chaethu
Unna en melae koththu
Yogam nalla yogam
Neram nalla neram
Vaayaa nalla chance
Kooda aadu dance
Nee onnu vechaa rendu veppen
Rendu vechaa moonu veppen
Aasai muthangal
Ae jingaan jinukku thaan
Indhaa unakku thaan chittu kuruvi
Ada bandhaa edhukkuyaa
Pandha uruttuyaa thottu thazhuvi
Nyaan keralathu kunjallo
Unna konja vandha pinjallo
Idhu chakka pazha chaarallo
Pon ambalatthu thaerallo
Thirichooril premaa nyaanae chaettaa
Ae jingaan jinukku thaan
Indhaa unakku thaan chittu kuruvi
Ada bandhaa edhukkuyaa
Pandha uruttuyaa thottu thazhuvi
Nyaan mundodu aattam podum
Nalla muthaana pen kutti

En hero nee mammootty
Door ai nyaan thaazhppaal potten

Hey, full of sparkle and style,
look, this little sparrow is just for you!
Hey, why all this attitude, man?
Come roll the ball, touch and embrace me!
Aren't I a sweet little girl from Kerala?
A tender young blossom come to cuddle you!
Isn't this sweet jackfruit juice?
Isn't this the golden temple chariot?
I am Prema from Thrissur, darling!
Hey, full of sparkle and style,
look, this little sparrow is just for you!
Hey, why all this attitude, man?
Come roll the ball, touch and embrace me!
Don't put on the act of a monk
and walk away chanting "Shiva Shambo"!
You are already running so late,
don't leave me stranded all alone!
The biting cold wind is blowing,
the damp young sprout is trembling!
Put your arms around my waist,
and pull yourself close against me!
What luck, pure good luck,
the time is just right!
Come on, it's a great chance,
dance along with me!
If you give one, I will give two,
if you give two, I will give three,
sweet kisses of desire!
Hey, full of sparkle and style,
look, this little sparrow is just for you!
Hey, why all this attitude, man?
Come roll the ball, touch and embrace me!
Aren't I a sweet little girl from Kerala?
A tender young blossom come to cuddle you!
Isn't this sweet jackfruit juice?
Isn't this the golden temple chariot?
I am Prema from Thrissur, darling!
Hey, full of sparkle and style,
look, this little sparrow is just for you!
Hey, why all this attitude, man?
Come roll the ball, touch and embrace me!
I dance draped in a mundu (traditional Kerala wrap),
a girl as precious as a pearl!
The one I keep my eyes on every day,
you are my hero, my Mammootty!
I have bolted the door,
there is no one watching!
If I let this chance slip away,
tomorrow it will all be wasted!
My dear, golden turmeric deer,
hold me, hold me against your chest!
My honey, sweet honey from the branch,
ask for it and take it all!
Touch me and make a tune,
wrestle and play as much as you like,
it is your lucky prize!
Hey, full of sparkle and style,
look, this little sparrow is just for you!
Hey, why all this attitude, man?
Come roll the ball, touch and embrace me!
Aren't I a sweet little girl from Kerala?
A tender young blossom come to cuddle you!
Isn't this sweet jackfruit juice?
Isn't this the golden temple chariot?
I am Prema from Thrissur, darling!
Hey, full of sparkle and style,
look, this little sparrow is just for you!
Hey, why all this attitude, man?
Come roll the ball, touch and embrace me!

This energetic song features a playful, flirtatious exchange where a Malayali woman expresses her affectionate interest in her partner. She humorously urges him to drop his aloof, ascetic demeanor and embrace the romantic moment.
