Aha... aaha
Aha... aaha
Kilimanjaro,
Mountain of sweet fruit,
Dimpled cheek beauty,
Who is it? Who is it?
Aha... aaha.. oh
Aha... aaha.. oh
Mohenjo-daro,
Who stepped inside you?
Who softened in your hands?
Who is it? Who is it?
Aha... aaha.. oh
Aha... aaha.. oh
Wild hunter, wild hunter,
Bite into me raw!
Cook me with your kisses,
Tear into me with your lion's teeth!
Aha... aaha.. oh
Aha... aaha.. oh
Come slithering like a python,
Catch this little deer!
Crush dry ginger and pepper over me,
Make me into soup and drink me up!
Aha... aaha.. oh
Aha... aaha.. oh
Whose little sister are you?
You belong right with me!
Like a life-sized olive fruit,
Devour me just as I am!
Oh my!
Hey, my little guinea fowl,
Every now and then,
Wrap yourself around me!
Right here and now,
Count and give me kisses!
Right now,
You count them yourself!
Aha... aaha.. oh
Aha... aaha.. oh
Kilimanjaro,
Mountain of sweet fruit,
Dimpled cheek beauty,
Who is it?
Mohenjo-daro,
Who stepped inside you?
Who softened in your hands?
Who is it? Who is it?
...
Lush green vine!
Oho.. hoo
Fresh lime!
Oho.. hoo
On you, for you,
Oho.. hoo
My soul's deep desire!
In a billion muscle fibers,
In each and every single one,
Your name is the music!
Sweet sugarcane!
Oho.. hoo
Sweet brown sugar!
Oho.. hoo
My heart into two,
Oho.. hoo
You folded and kept away!
I am a fruit soaked in sweetness,
Slowly,
Let me cool and take a bite!
I am the sunlight
That reaches down to the roots;
Why did you put up an imaginary curtain?
Locking lips to lips,
Holding them tight,
Let an era pass, and then
Unseal your love!
Oh my!
Hey, my little guinea fowl,
Every now and then,
Wrap yourself around me!
Right here and now,
Count and give me kisses!
Right now,
You count them yourself!
Kilimanjaro,
Mountain of sweet fruit,
Dimpled cheek beauty,
Who is it? Who is it?
Aha... aaha..
Aha... aaha.. aha..
Mohenjo-daro,
Who stepped inside you?
Who softened in your hands?
Who is it? Who is it?
...
Dweller of mountain springs!
Ohu.. hoo
Lover of pleasure!
Ohu.. hoo
Player of the drum,
Ohu.. hoo
Play along as my partner!
Sprouting gentle wings
That do not hurt my skin,
I am the dancing moon!
I am a tree trunk,
Ohu.. hoo
You are the woodpecker!
Ohu.. hoo
I am a wild forest,
Ohu.. hoo
You are the fragrance in it!
Hey, you weigh barely a hundred grams;
From now on,
Who is your clothing? It is me!
I am a five-foot tender plant,
Graze on me completely!
If you become fresh green grass,
Even a tiger will graze on grass;
What fault is there in that?
Oh my!
I am the guinea fowl!
Every now and then,
Wrap yourself around me!
Right here and now,
Count and give me kisses!
Right now,
You count them yourself!
Aha... aaha...
Aha... aaha...
Aha... aaha...
Aha... aha... aaha...
Oh my!
Hey, my little guinea fowl,
Every now and then,
Wrap yourself around me!
Right here and now,
Count and give me kisses!
...
Right now,
You count them yourself!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
Kilimanajaro is a playful, sensual tribal-themed duet from the sci-fi blockbuster Enthiran (2010). The song uses vivid metaphors from nature, wilderness, and ancient civilizations to depict the romantic attraction between the leads. Rhyming world landmarks and ancient terms like Kilimanjaro and Mohenjo-daro with catchy Tamil phrases, the lyrics frame love as an intense wild passion. The male and female leads exchange playful barbs and romantic invitations using jungle imagery—comparing themselves to pythons, deer, woodpeckers, trees, and wild guinea fowls (kinnikozhi). The lyrics convey an irresistible physical and emotional pull, rendered with lively rhythms, percussive vocalizations, and inventive wordplay by lyricist Pa. Vijay.
