The wind blows continuously, a breeze of a maiden blows.
It blows watching closely, blowing while looking right at me.
Which town is she from, shining so brilliantly?
She creates electricity for a town with no power!
Look, look, she glances, trying to set things on fire!
Look, look, she stands, standing proud with her chest held high!
Look, look, look, she blossoms, blooming even as she walks away!
Look, look, look, she steals, catching our very breath!
The wind blows continuously, a breeze of a maiden blows.
It blows watching closely, blowing while looking right at me.
...
From the front, she looks like Kerala's Valli!
From behind, she looks like a maiden from Karnataka!
Her waist is Andhra, and her neck belongs to our town!
On the southern streets, the Dravidian treasure walks!
She walks... she walks... like a grand temple chariot!
Look, look, she glances, trying to set things on fire!
Look, look, she stands, standing proud with her chest held high!
Look, look, look, she blossoms, blooming even as she walks away!
Look, look, look, she steals, catching our very breath!
The wind blows continuously, a breeze of a maiden blows.
It blows watching closely, blowing while looking right at me.
A girl like a mirror, oh, both eyes are dazzled!
Even a bull lifts its tail to take a look!
A girl like a mirror, oh, both eyes are dazzled!
Even a bull lifts its tail to take a look!
The man drinking tea gets shocked and stands frozen!
Like a block of ice, her youth circles around and passes by!
She walks... she walks... pure as Aavin milk!
Look, look, she glances, trying to set things on fire!
Look, look, she stands, standing proud with her chest held high!
Look, look, look, she blossoms, blooming even as she walks away!
Look, look, look, she steals, catching our very breath!
The wind blows continuously, a breeze of a maiden blows.
It blows watching closely, blowing while looking right at me.
Which town is she from, shining so brilliantly?
She creates electricity for a town with no power!
Look, look, she glances, trying to set things on fire!
Look, look, she stands, standing proud with her chest held high!
Look, look, look, she blossoms, blooming even as she walks away!
Look, look, look, she steals, catching our very breath... ah... ah...
The wind blows continuously, a breeze of a maiden blows...
