Cha charaa-oo...
Watch on, watch on, watch on!
Watch this dub-dub-dub-dub style!
I'm gonna dip, dip, dip it into your smile!
Hold me baby, just hold my hand forever and ever,
Every time I want to see you, my girl!
Aaaah aah aah aah aaah aaah...
Oh shy girl, you stunning beauty who sweeps me off my feet!
Oh shy girl, you stunning beauty who sweeps me off my feet!
Are you a demoness or an angel?
Or a girl who is a blend of both?
Is it a pouring rain or scorching heat?
Or are your eyes a blend of both?
You run away the moment I touch you,
Hey, are you a touch-me-not girl?
A beauty who will enslave hearts tomorrow, my royal queen!
Oh shy girl, you stunning beauty who sweeps me off my feet!
Oh shy girl, you stunning beauty who sweeps me off my feet!
We made whistles out of portia leaves and blew them,
Forgetting school and lessons, we chased butterflies,
When a water snake slithered onto the ridge, we ran for our lives,
Pulling toy carts made of palmyra nuts around the cattle shed,
We circled around and bragged that we had traveled to Bombay!
Ah, what a spring! That was true happiness!
Will those days return to make us innocent children once more?
Babe, don't ever think I'm your maharaja,
Come on anytime, you're my sweetheart,
I can never stop this feeling, never, raja!
Yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah!
Oh shy girl, you stunning beauty who sweeps me off my feet!
Oh shy girl, you stunning beauty who sweeps me off my feet!
Baby, move your body to this crazy groove,
And I won't let you go, and I won't let you down,
Through the fire, through the limit,
To the wall, just to be with you, I'll gladly risk it all!
Ha, let me do it one more time, do it one more time,
Ha baby, come on and let's get into the party!
When we cast our fishing hooks into the Cauvery river,
My dear, when a tiny frog got caught on your hook,
Can we ever forget how we clapped and teased you?
Using black cart-axle grease to draw a Kattabomman moustache,
My dear, you drew it on my face and hailed me as a great king!
Ah, what a spring! That was true happiness!
Even long after time has passed us by,
will our love ever fade away?
Oh shy girl, you stunning beauty who sweeps me off my feet!
Oh shy girl, you stunning beauty who sweeps me off my feet!
Are you a demoness or an angel?
Or a girl who is a blend of both?
Is it a pouring rain or scorching heat?
Or are your eyes a blend of both?
You run away the moment I touch you,
Hey, are you a touch-me-not girl?
A beauty who will enslave hearts tomorrow, my royal queen!
Oh shy girl, you stunning beauty who sweeps me off my feet!
Oh shy girl, you stunning beauty who sweeps me off my feet!
