O peacock from uncle's home, every day,
O cuckoo bathing in turmeric!
O peacock from uncle's home, every day,
O cuckoo bathing in turmeric!
When you see this cousin, call me your sweetheart,
For I am the one who sealed our promise!
The cloth covering your chest flutters,
And what overflows inside is sweet honey!
O peacock from uncle's home, every day,
O cuckoo bathing in turmeric!
O peacock from uncle's home, every day,
O cuckoo bathing in turmeric!
Seeing you, my cousin, I call you my sweetheart,
You are the one who sealed our promise!
The cloth covering my chest flutters,
And what overflows inside is sweet honey!
O peacock from uncle's home, every day,
O cuckoo bathing in turmeric!
I will tuck mixed Thanjavur flowers at the back,
Right into your hair, my darling!
Male: Ah!
Male: I will tuck mixed Thanjavur flowers at the back,
Right into your hair, my darling!
Just wearing them is enough—their fragrance and our love
Will last forever, just see!
Male: Oh my!
Female: If you just touch me, sweetheart,
I am a flower whose fragrance stays on your hands!
The dry field looked up at the sky,
Female: And the clouds arrived to bring a gentle drizzle!
Male: To bathe you now and forever...
O peacock from uncle's home, every day,
O cuckoo bathing in turmeric!
Male: O peacock from uncle's home, every day,
O cuckoo bathing in turmeric, thagina-thathom!
A tender red banana shoot has become a lovely girl,
Listen, she is singing sweet melodies!
Male: Hoy...!
Female: A tender red banana shoot has become a lovely girl,
Listen, she is singing sweet melodies!
It is only because of you, my dear,
That my deep breath burns hot with longing!
Female: Aaha!
Male: Oh girl, if you just hold me here and there,
And embrace me lovingly, it will cool down!
Aren't you the sweetheart destined to garland me?
Male: Aren't I the god of love shooting sweet arrows?
Female: Isn't this the day we become one?
O peacock from uncle's home, every day,
O cuckoo bathing in turmeric!
Female: Seeing you, my cousin, I call you my sweetheart,
You are the one who sealed our promise!
Male: The cloth covering your chest flutters,
And what overflows inside is sweet honey!
