Hey...
Come close to me, girl!
Girl with a well-built, sculpted body!
Sign over the deed to me!
Serve me sweet Panchamirtham (temple fruit mash) on a plate!
If you want to go to Doddabetta peak,
I'll take you along, come with me!
If a thatched hut is enough,
I'm ready to make merry too!
Girl with a back as smooth as a slate,
Girl with a chocolate complexion,
To charge at your teak-strong body,
My moustache is twitching, girl!
Hey boy...
Come close to me, boy!
Boy with a well-built, sculpted body!
Sign over the deed to me,
Serve sweet Panchamirtham on my plate!
I will come to Doddabetta too,
Carry me piggyback and take me along!
A thatched hut is enough, boy,
Come with me to make merry!
{Para para para bamsi babare
Kare kare kare kamsi thakkaru
Thara thara thara thamsi thakkaru
Vara vara vara..} (2)
Are you a storm bottled up?
Are you a field overflowing with gold?
Are you freshly made biryani?
I am going to devour you, are you game?
Are you a bolted door?
Are you liquor poured inside?
Are you saved-up wealth?
I am going to count you, hand yourself over!
When you took a dip
and bathed in the temple pond,
dripping wet, even the fish swooned!
When a black ant bit you,
it died of diabetes from your sweetness!
Boy with a back as smooth as a slate... aah!
Chorus: Para para para
Bamsi babare.. aa..
Girl with a back as smooth as a slate,
Girl with a chocolate complexion,
To charge at your teak-strong body,
My moustache is twitching, girl!
Aah... a girl is walking by,
Lekangamma... lekangoyya...
Male: What is it, man...
Chorus: A girl is walking by,
Lekangamma... lekangoyya...
If you want to go to Doddabetta peak,
I'll take you along, come with me!
If a thatched hut is enough,
I'm ready to make merry too!
Girl with a back as smooth as a slate,
Girl with a chocolate complexion,
To charge at your teak-strong body,
My moustache is twitching, girl!
Are you a peacock bristling its feathers?
Are you a rabbit dashing to bump into me?
To paint henna on my face,
do you have the guts right now?
Hey boy...
Are you a scorching afternoon?
Are you a night that enchants me?
Stepping forward softly,
are you a thief crossing the line?
Out in the Bay of Bengal,
the storm warning that formed
suddenly blew past the coast!
In the ocean of my heart,
the storm warning that formed
suddenly surged in wild intoxication!
Girl with a back as smooth as a slate... ee!
Female: Para para para bamsi babara... aa
Girl with a back as smooth as a slate,
Girl with a chocolate complexion,
To charge at your teak-strong body,
My moustache is twitching, girl!
Hey boy!!!
Come close to me, boy!
Boy with a well-built, sculpted body!
Male: I'm coming...
Sign over the deed to me,
Serve sweet Panchamirtham on my plate!
Male: I'm coming...
I will come to Doddabetta too,
Carry me piggyback and take me along!
Male: I'm coming...
A thatched hut is enough, boy,
Come with me to make merry!
Boy with a back as smooth as a slate,
Boy with a chocolate complexion,
To clash against your teak-strong body,
My desire is racing, boy!
{Para para para bamsi babare
Kare kare kare kamsi thakkaru
Thara thara thara thamsi thakkaru
Vara vara vara..} (2)
