Hey girl, there is a horse to ride,
for me to reach Madurai!
There is a horse to ride,
for me to reach Madurai!
I am the grandson of King Desingu,
I am a brave warrior from the south!
A master with the swinging sword,
I am the hunter who captures the fort!
There is a horse to ride,
for you to reach Madurai!
Male: Haan!
Female: There is a horse to ride,
for you to reach Madurai!
You are the grandson of King Desingu,
you are a brave warrior from the south!
A master with the swinging sword,
you are the hunter who captures the fort!
Hey girl, there is a horse to ride,
for me to reach Madurai!
Holding the full length of the whip,
gripping it tight every day,
if I strike a blow, you will see,
it will be top-notch, smashing, and unbeatable, ha!
Hey... ha... aa... aa... aa... aa...
Look over there at the villain,
if he finds out what is happening, there will be trouble!
Oh no!
Your disguise will wash right off,
and your bravado will be cut in half!
I can take on a thousand disguises,
and I can outwit and dodge anyone!
You are having a lucky streak,
like rain pouring in the forest!
Only until your secret is revealed!
Oh my dear queen,
I am a man who knows and understands everything!
Oh come on now, do not boast!
I am a woman who knows it all!
Hey girl, there is a horse to ride,
for me to reach Madurai!
There is a horse to ride,
for me to reach Madurai!
Grandson of King Desingu,
I am a brave warrior from the south!
Hey, a master with the swinging sword,
I am the hunter who captures the fort!
There is a horse to ride,
for you to reach Madurai!
Wearing an eight-stone nose stud
shining brightly on my nose,
I come swaying gracefully like royalty,
and you have won the jackpot prize!
Hey... ha... aa... aa... aa... aa...
While you dance right here,
and I bust out a rustic folk beat,
desire overflows naturally,
you are as crisp and tempting as a Tirunelveli dosa!
Take it, enjoy it if you can!
But you must return the favor by daybreak!
There is sweet nectar on these lips,
so come help yourself, I am all yours!
Oh dear girl, looking at me,
why are you feeling so charmed and dazed?
Hey, that is the magic of love, darling!
What other explanation do you need?
There is a horse to ride,
Male: Hoy!
Female: for you to reach Madurai!
Grandson of King Desingu,
I am a brave warrior from the south!
A master with the swinging sword,
you are the hunter who captures the fort!
Hey girl, there is a horse to ride,
for me to reach Madurai!
