Hey my bird-catcher sweetheart, oh yeah...
My bird-catcher sweetheart, hey hey hey!
God has brought us together!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah... yeah yeah yeah yeah!
My bird-catcher sweetheart,
God has brought us together!
Until the rooster crows in the morning,
it's going to be a wild celebration in our room!
Until the rooster crows at dawn,
it's our joyful romp inside this room!
My bird-catcher sweetheart, hey hey hey,
God has brought us together!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah... yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Hey, bird-catcher's wife... hey!
My bird-catcher's wife...
I'm a Kuravan, girl, from your own clan!
My bird-catcher's wife,
I'm a Kuravan, girl, from your own clan!
Don't roll those needle-sharp eyes at me,
don't pierce through my whole body!
Don't roll your needle-sharp eyes,
don't pierce every inch of my body!
My bird-catcher's wife...
I'm a Kuravan, girl, from your own clan!
Like a thief into the hut,
you slipped inside like a cat.
Like a thief sneaking into the hut,
you crept in just like a cat,
And like a husband inside my heart,
you filled it up completely!
Now like a husband inside my heart,
you have filled it all the way!
My lord... oh my lord!
Inside this body that was lying so quiet,
why has such a sudden heat flared up? Ah,
Inside this body that was lying so still,
why has this passion caught fire?
To hold this sweet cuckoo close in my arms,
and wrap around her slender waist!
To pull this sweet cuckoo into my arms,
and wrap around her slender waist, my queen, my queen!
My bird-catcher sweetheart, hey hey hey,
God has brought us together!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah... yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Whatever it is that you are asking for,
I will only know if you tell me, oho oho ho!
Whatever it is that you are asking for,
I will know only if you speak up!
Once everything has been given,
it can be understood without any words!
Once I give you everything,
it will be understood without saying a word!
Flash your betel-stained teeth and tell me what you want!
Oho oho ho!
Flash your betel-stained teeth and tell me what's on your mind!
Your whole body is singing a song of youthful passion!
Your whole body is singing a song of youthful passion!
My bird-catcher sweetheart,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
God has brought us together!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah... yeah yeah yeah yeah!
