O squirrel on the mango tree, squirrel on the mango tree,
Have you seen him?
Sown by my sweetheart,
O broad bean plant, have you seen him?
O squirrel on the mango tree, squirrel on the mango tree,
Have you seen him?
Sown by my sweetheart,
O broad bean plant, have you seen him?
O banyan tree of the village council,
Have you seen him?
O cotton flower bursting into white fluff,
Have you seen him?
Woven from that soft cotton,
O flag of our land,
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
O squirrel on the mango tree, squirrel on the mango tree,
Have you seen him?
Sown by my sweetheart,
O broad bean plant, have you seen him?
I ground the fresh henna leaves,
And wrote my sweetheart's name on my palms.
Have you seen him?
To Goddess Masani Amman,
I offered prayers filled with deep love.
In the folds of his silk veshti,
He wrapped my heart away,
And went towards the crop fields—
Have you seen him?
To make a pure gold thali (wedding pendant),
To weave a bridal silk saree,
He needs to go into town—
Have you seen him?
People from all the eight surrounding villages
Will gather in unity and respect for him—
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
O squirrel on the mango tree, squirrel on the mango tree,
Have you seen him?
Sown by my sweetheart,
O broad bean plant, have you seen him?
O little fish swimming in the river,
Have you seen him?
O little fish, you playful little one,
Have you seen him?
Bringing sweet scent to the soil each day,
O turmeric root,
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
O squirrel on the mango tree, squirrel on the mango tree,
Have you seen him?
Sown by my sweetheart,
O broad bean plant, have you seen him?
As my man ties bundles of paddy seedlings,
And I brush against him to tie them along with him,
Have you seen him?
While his queen walks beside him,
Walking with the proud stride of a king—
Have you seen him?
Like warm jaggery syrup,
And soft rice flour,
Coming together in sweet bonding—
Have you seen him?
As I blush and shy away,
He pulls me close into his embrace,
Ready to make a wedding bed—
Have you seen him?
Even in the sweat on his forehead,
My name will be written—
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
O squirrel on the mango tree, squirrel on the mango tree,
Have you seen him?
Sown by my sweetheart,
O broad bean plant, have you seen him?
O mother cow grazing in the meadow,
Have you seen him?
Like the pure white milk you give,
The one with a spotless, pure heart—have you seen him?
O ridge along the water canal where my king walks,
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
O squirrel on the mango tree, squirrel on the mango tree,
Have you seen him?
Sown by my sweetheart,
O broad bean plant, have you seen him?
