Freshly caught Indian mackerel,
The bed mattress is waiting!
Freshly caught Indian mackerel,
The bed mattress is waiting!
By touching me repeatedly,
Do not cast a fishing hook!
Catching this fish,
Do not chew and devour it!
Playing along the edge of the waves,
You are the sea goddess!
Female: A flag will rise on the lap,
You are the fish-eyed beloved!
Freshly caught, hei...
Freshly caught Indian mackerel,
The bed mattress is waiting!
Freshly caught Indian mackerel,
The bed mattress is waiting!
..................................
Carrying a basket above her hair bun,
She walks swaying rhythmically!
Like a fish that fell onto the shore,
She made me writhe in agony!
Even when walking alone,
Do not stare so intently!
With a sharp, prickly fish gaze,
Do not butt and push me away!
Young maiden, you indeed
Are like a prized kingfish!
To talk with sweet affection,
I am begging you!
A fish in shyness
Is breaking into a sweat,
A stork to peck and eat it
Is standing in wait!
Freshly caught Indian mackerel,
The bed mattress is waiting!
Freshly caught Indian mackerel..hei
The bed mattress is waiting ..ah..ah..ah..ah..
.................................
Inside the saree, a grey mullet fish
Has slipped inside!
Touching here and touching there,
It tickles the waist!
Chewing the lips of an Iyengar girl,
It devours non-vegetarian food!
Jumping over the pond and arriving,
It plays playful pranks!
Is it freshly cooked fish curry,
My dear lord?
Trapped inside the saree pallu,
My fisherman!
Leaving the sky and coming to earth,
Is this a star?
Serving a feast to hunger,
Is this a female fish?
This is freshly caught,
Indian mackerel!
Male: The bed mattress is waiting!
Aei freshly caught, freshly caught,
Indian mackerel!
Male: Here, the bed mattress is waiting!
By touching me repeatedly,
Chorus: Hoi hoi
Do not cast a fishing hook!
Chorus: Hoi hoi
Catching this fish,
Chorus: Hoi hoi
Do not chew and devour it!
Chorus: Hoi hoi
Playing along the edge of the waves,
You are the sea goddess!
Female: A flag will rise on the lap,
You are the fish-eyed beloved!
Freshly caught, freshly caught,
Female: Yei freshly caught...
Male: Freshly caught Indian mackerel..
The bed mattress is waiting!
