In the millet field, in the millet field,
A young bull waits with hunger,
Run over and be close with me,
Play freely without any fences!
Gentle fresh breeze, gentle fresh breeze,
This young sapling has come of age,
Step forward, find the right spot,
Put a bindi on me and claim me as yours.
Will you bathe until all the dirt is gone?
Female: Will you embrace me until all desire is satisfied?
Male: Will you hold me and lift me with both hands?
Female: Will you finish the task you have taken up?
I long to wrestle playfully with you,
Don't you feel like doing the same?
Female: In a real Jallikattu (bull-taming contest),
there are rules and regulations,
is this a sword fight on the mattress?
My sweet swan, my little parrot,
Let the joyful Kummi dance begin!
Female: My king, my dear cousin,
With drums beating, let the deer unite!
Here is a new song at the concert,
Nod your head along, my darling!
Gentle fresh breeze, gentle fresh breeze,
This young sapling has come of age,
Step forward, find the right spot,
Put a bindi on me and claim me as yours.
The crop field hides the pathway,
Hiding one's youth is such a struggle!
Male: Playfully hiding the young lamb,
Hiding one's true nature is such a struggle!
Trapped, trapped inside sweet honey,
the ant is struggling helplessly.
When will it ever reach the shore?
Male: Trapped in a woman's grasp,
this youthful sugarcane,
who knows what struggles it will face?
All kinds of strange,
endless thoughts arrive,
tugging at my saree!
Male: Oh my, what pure joy!
The end of her saree pulls me in!
My dear man, what playful mischief is this?
Take your staring eyes off me for a moment!
In the millet field, in the millet field,
A young bull waits with hunger,
Run over and be close with me,
Play freely without any fences!
Gentle fresh breeze, gentle fresh breeze,
This young sapling has come of age,
Step forward, find the right spot,
Put a bindi on me and claim me as yours.
