Kallaasa kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Kalasala kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Kallaasa kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Just ask anyone in the North,
they will tell you all about me!
Like sweet Bombay Halwa,
they savor and roll my name on their tongues!
Kalasala kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Kallaasa kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Just ask anyone in the North,
they will tell you all about me!
Like sweet Bombay Halwa,
they savor and roll my name on their tongues!
Can just anyone climb on aboard me,
thinking I am an easy Kodambakkam bus?
She is a king cobra,
she will hiss and strike!
Mallika, do you turn sweet
like a gooseberry after a bite?
If you spread out a soft cotton bed,
she is smooth as fine silk!
If you pamper her with sweet talk,
she will pour out pure honey!
If you like me, keep me with you,
hold me deep inside your heart!
Is there anyone who would turn away
a fresh, juicy cucumber like me?
My dear darling,
Mallika is calling you!
Kalasala kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Kallaasa kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Kalasala kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Kallaasa kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Silken beauty, brush past and stick close...
Touch me... and hold me tight...
What is wrong if we both agree to become one?
The mood is rising... will this heat ever fade?
Knowingly and unknowingly,
as we get up to some naughty mischief,
Take a bite, take a bite,
just a light, playful little bite!
Both my cheeks are like
bottles filled with intoxicating brew!
Hey, I may roar like a villain, girl,
but my heart is pure and true!
When I give, I give with an open heart...
I will give you everything, come to me, come!
My dear darling,
Mallika is calling you!
My sweet honey, where are you?
Osthe has arrived!
Osthe, my man, hey Osthe!
Come on, come closer, come!
Hey, come here, come right here!
Female: Hey, sing, my man!
Male: Hey, show your moves, Malli!
Female: Hey, sing, my man!
Male: Hey, show your moves, Malli!
A dashing guy here, and Mallika the beauty...
Showing off your waist, lighting a spark,
you torment and drive me crazy every single day!
Just right for you, blooming with youth,
a man has arrived; stick close to him
and stay, stay, stay!
You are a lone lion,
pure solid gold, Osthe! Male: Fire! Fire!
Who on earth could ever
dare to wrestle with you?
If we bathe, it will be under Courtallam waterfalls!
If we play a beat, it will roar like a festival drum!
From now on, every single day,
it is pure celebration in the dark!
My dear darling,
Mallika is calling you!
Come here, come right here!
Mallika, my darling,
come on, let us have some fun!
Working our magic across the bed,
let us have a blast!
Somehow, my heart
has changed its tune completely!
The moment I look at you,
the heat inside me shoots up!
This is a fresh jasmine garland,
not meant to be spoiled in a monkey's hands!
I will wear you on my chest; come to me, my silver moon!
Kalasala kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Kallaasa kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Kalasala kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Kallaasa kalasala.. Kalasala kalasala
Osthe, my man... yeah!
Osthe, my man...!
