A clucking chicken stands right across the path
Standing ripe and luscious is the papaya
Female: A clucking chicken stands right across the path
Standing ripe and luscious is the papaya
Your hearts truly match, and luck is on your side!
Female: She's scared of everything, but she's meant for you, cousin!
Male: Hey girl, look at your mama (suitor) and ask for the wedding garland!
A clucking chicken stands right across the path
Male: Standing ripe and luscious is the papaya
Guavas are ripe in your orchard
Go pluck them yourself, groom, aha-haan!
Female: With raw mangoes tucked in her saree drape,
If you come and take them, you're a real man!
When one and one come together,
They aren't two, they become one!
Dancing and running around, looking for a partner!
A clucking chicken stands right across the path
Male: Standing ripe and luscious is the papaya
A clucking chicken stands right across the path
Female: Standing ripe and luscious is the papaya
Your hearts truly match, and luck is on your side!
Female: Why be scared? She belongs to you, cousin!
Male: Hey girl, look at your mama (suitor) and ask for the wedding garland...
A clucking chicken stands right across the path
Male: Standing ripe and luscious is the papaya
...
The poor young girl squatted down,
And set her man's heart on fire!
Male: She sneaked in here and planted a kiss,
Female: But we caught sight of her, so she saved the rest for later!
Did she come to light the evening lamp,
Or did she come to keep him at a distance?
Female Chorus: To place her rusty old cousin
High upon her head with pride?
The flock of goats is dancing to our song!
The high is kicking in, and the path is swaying!
A clucking chicken stands right across the path
Chorus: Kuk-koo!
Male: Standing ripe and luscious is the papaya
Chorus: Kuk-koo!
Female: A clucking chicken stands right across the path
Chorus: Kuk-koo!
Female: Standing ripe and luscious is the papaya
Chorus: Kuk-koo!
Your hearts truly match, and luck is on your side!
Female: She's scared of everything, but she's meant for you, cousin!
Male: Hey girl, look at your mama (suitor) and ask for the wedding garland!
