The aroma of mutton curry,
It wafts all around, smelling so rich!
Even the jasmine flowers speak,
A Tamil girl is full of fierce pride!
The aroma of mutton curry,
It wafts all around, smelling so rich!
Even the jasmine flowers speak,
A Tamil girl is full of fierce pride!
Just a glare from your eyes,
And my heart melts away!
With one fiery look from you,
Even plain soda turns into beer!
Just a glare from your eyes,
And my heart melts away!
With one fiery look from you,
Even plain soda turns into beer!
You are such a gorgeous girl,
I tripped and fell for your look!
Like fish curry with hot idlis,
I am the Jet Li made just for you!
The aroma of mutton curry,
It wafts all around, smelling so rich!
Even the jasmine flowers speak,
A Tamil girl is full of fierce pride!
She is fine like Seeraga Samba rice,
The princess of the southern land!
She is a blazing spark in this whole district,
As sweet as Jigarthanda and Jalebi!
The whole town bows with respect,
To this mighty man, girl!
Yet only for you,
I will turn into a tamed bull, girl!
Put a nose rope on me,
And tie me down tight!
Folding up my veshti,
I will dance a wild folk beat!
Hey, won't you come over here?
I will show off like a big shot!
Hey, won't you come over here?
I will show off like a big shot!
The aroma of mutton curry,
It wafts all around, smelling so rich!
Even the jasmine flowers speak,
A Tamil girl is full of fierce pride!
Every word you speak is full of charm,
Your matchless beauty is proof of it!
Seeing that intoxicating beauty, I fell completely,
And everyone here is a witness!
Even if you speak like a local,
You stand out with unmatched style!
When I come close to hold you,
You give me a cheeky smirk!
Even in the midst of a raging storm,
I can light up a cigar!
Even if the whole town turns against us,
I will stand up and protect you!
Hey, won't you come over here?
I will show off like a big shot!
Hey, won't you come over here?
I will show off like a big shot!
The aroma of mutton curry,
It wafts all around, smelling so rich!
Even the jasmine flowers speak,
A Tamil girl is full of fierce pride!
