We are folk from the Kodagu hills, oh master, thillelelo!
We have come to make a living by telling fortunes, thillelelo!
We are folk from the Kodagu hills, oh master, thillelelo!
We have come to make a living by telling fortunes, thillelelo!
In the kingdom of your generous king, thillelelo, we
have come to make a living by telling fortunes, oh master, thillelelo!
In the kingdom of your generous king, thillelelo, we
have come to make a living by telling fortunes, thillelelo!
Won't you buy glass beads and corals, master?
Won't you try getting a tattoo, master?
Oh master!
Chorus: Won't you buy glass beads and corals, master?
Won't you try getting a tattoo, master?
Try getting a scorpion or a fish tattoo, good lady!
Buy shimmering earring stones and lucky jackal teeth!
Try getting a scorpion or a fish tattoo, good lady!
Buy shimmering earring stones and lucky jackal teeth!
We can perform all kinds of wonderful magic tricks!
If you hear how clever our work is, you will be amazed!
My precious little sparrow, hey,
my darling Chinese parrot, my dear!
My precious little sparrow, hey,
my darling Chinese parrot, where did you go yesterday
with such secret plans,
tell me clearly, girl!
Female: Shall I tell you?
Male: Tell me!
On the slopes of Kazhugu hill, my man,
I set a trap and kept watch!
Jackals, quails, and partridges—
they all fell right into the snare,
every single one was caught!
Chorus: In the kingdom of your generous king, thillelelo,
may we find success just as our hearts desire, thillelelo!
Look at this man, just like a scarecrow in the field!
Bending your back to work hard
and earn a living—you don't care about that at all!
I have to roam all over town to feed you,
Male: What did you say?
Female: And on top of that, I have to put up with your bossy ways!
You just eat and roam around like a bull,
wandering the town as a loafer, my so-called lion!
Wandering the town as a loafer, my so-called lion!
Musk, gorojanam (traditional herbal charm), civet perfume, and saffron!
Male: Civet perfume and saffron!
Buy this fragrant civet scent!
Female: Here, take a smell of it and buy, good master!
Chorus: In the kingdom of your generous king, thillelelo,
may we find success just as our hearts desire, thillelelo!
In the kingdom of your generous king, thillelelo,
may we find success just as our hearts desire, thillelelo!
