…………………..
A girl totally bowled me over!
A feeling of love with no end in sight!
It's super cool, bro, rock on!
From now on, she alone is my girl, buddy!
Turn around, girl, take a turn!
Strike a rhythm in my heart!
I have no tiredness at all, girl!
Show off your amazing moves, girl!
The drain...
Inside the drain...
There's a stone in the drain, girl!
Come running and confess your love, girl!
Chew on this Kamarkattu (jaggery coconut candy) in your mouth, girl!
Ring the bell if you like this Gaana song!
She is a full moon in broad daylight,
just like the moon,
she sparkles and shines!
Male & Chorus: She sparkles and shines!
From the tips of her toes
to the top of her hair,
she sprinkles her charm on me,
she knows how to dazzle!
Male & Chorus: Dazzle and sprinkle!
She's the sturdy rope of a giant wheel...
If she just looks at me, I won't even need dinner tonight!
She's a festival chariot rolling down the street,
my Govindamma, under the boys' gaze,
she feels as cool as an AC, look!
I'm not putting on any fake show with you,
my little heart...
should I wrap it up as a parcel for you?
If you call me to take the place of your husband,
to serve you delightfully,
I'll wash all your clothes,
even if the drain pipe is choked!
She's a whirlpool born in the Arctic Ocean,
and trapped in it, I'm tumbling like a tilted barrel!
Her voice is like a cuckoo's—sweet even when she scolds!
Tossing and turning on the terrace thinking of her,
my legs got all scraped and bruised!
When I woke up in the morning
and came to confess my love,
the thought of being her lover choked me up in awe!
Can a jockey ever race without a horse?
If a girl is impressed, her 'yes' brings total pride, bro!
Every single word she spoke turns into poetry, bro!
If she becomes my wife, that's my ultimate blessing!
I'm not putting on any fake show with you,
my little heart...
should I wrap it up as a parcel for you?
If you call me to take the place of your husband,
to serve you delightfully,
I'll wash all your clothes,
even if the drain pipe is choked!
Drain! Chorus: Drain!
Male: Inside the drain...
There's a stone in the drain, girl!
Come running and confess your love, girl!
Chew on this Kamarkattu (jaggery coconut candy) in your mouth, girl!
Ring the bell if you like this Gaana song!
A girl totally bowled me over!
A feeling of love with no end in sight!
It's super cool, bro, rock on!
From now on, she alone is my girl, buddy!
Turn around, girl, take a turn!
Strike a rhythm in my heart!
I have no tiredness at all, girl!
Show off your amazing moves, girl!
