Cuckoo of the mango grove,
Cuckoo of the mango grove,
You who came looking for your beloved,
Cuckoo of the mango grove!
Just to live my life with you,
I prayed with deep devotion.
Just to be united with you,
I longed with all my heart.
Is this a dream, or is it true love?
Tell me the answer, oh cuckoo bird!
It is true love, it is true love,
My mango-tree cuckoo bird!
Oh, cuckoo of the mango grove,
Cuckoo of the mango grove,
You who came looking for your beloved,
Cuckoo of the mango grove!
At the Muthalamman temple,
When I saw you the other day,
In the corner of my saree, I tied up
Your sweet memory, my king!
By the side of the road,
In the quiet of the evening,
The moment I saw you,
I gave my heart away all on my own!
Desire slipped into my heart,
And it leaps and bounces with joy!
The saree cloth around my waist
Is slowly slipping down.
All the gossip of the village folk
Is now centered on the two of us!
Is it a dream, or is it true love?
Tell me the answer, oh cuckoo bird!
It is true love, it is true love,
My mango-tree cuckoo bird!
Cuckoo of the mango grove,
Cuckoo of the mango grove,
You who came looking for your beloved,
Cuckoo of the mango grove!
Hey... mmm...
Hey... mmm... hey... hey... hey...
Packing a bundle of rice,
As I went to gather firewood,
Why did I stand from far away
And keep gazing at you all on my own?
As I took gentle steps and walked,
Coming close and holding hands,
Why did I lose my senses
And rest upon your lap all on my own?
Every bit of my sleep
Has slowly drifted away.
All the modest habits I guarded
Were broken because of you!
In the dead of night, my body burns hot
And a fever has taken over me!
Is it a dream, or is it true love?
Tell me the answer, oh cuckoo bird!
It is true love, it is true love,
My mango-tree cuckoo bird!
Cuckoo of the mango grove,
Cuckoo of the mango grove,
You who came looking for your beloved,
Cuckoo of the mango grove!
Just to live my life with you,
I prayed with deep devotion.
Just to be united with you,
I longed with all my heart.
Is this a dream, or is it true love?
Tell me the answer, oh cuckoo bird!
It is true love, it is true love,
My mango-tree cuckoo bird!
