{ Hey darling, darling, darling, darling,
It's a juicy mango, yeah! } (2)
A sweet mango, a mango,
A luscious Malgova mango!
You are that famous Salem mango, girl!
A sweet mango, a mango,
A luscious Malgova mango!
I am that famous Salem mango, boy!
I'll pluck you gently and eat you right up!
I'm hanging way up high, how are you going to pluck me?
If I turn into a squirrel and leap gracefully,
I'll nibble on you all over!
Now that you've made up your mind,
and dared to finish me off,
and circle around me, I surrender, I give in!
Hoo hoo!
Are your lips sweet? Is your neck tangy?
Is your waist tart? Tell me, girl!
My body holds all six classic tastes, boy!
Taste me and tell me which flavor is where!
Where should I begin?
Where should I bend?
Where should I settle down? Teach me, girl!
No corner of mine is off-limits, boy!
Wherever you want, jump right in and play!
Come to me, you milkmaid of desire!
Add some palm jaggery into it and serve me!
Come to me, you midnight slayer!
Slaughter me with love and go, boy!
Hey, it's a mango!
Hey, a sweet mango, a mango!
A luscious Malgova mango!
You are that famous Salem mango, girl!
A single camphor betel leaf isn't enough for my mouth,
come close and let me steal one from your lips!
Wet my tender body with your kisses and melt away,
pick and savor every beauty mark on my skin!
I will leave love-bites on you until you cry out in pain,
and then I'll cover your mouth—you're so much trouble, girl!
Count every line on my body with your lips, boy!
Sprinkle some salt and devour me like a pickle, boy!
A man who can master both a raging storm and a delicate flower—
listen to what kind of man I am!
You have all kinds of tricks up your sleeve,
so bring them all out and unleash them on me!
Hey, a sweet mango...
Hey, a sweet mango, a mango!
A luscious Malgova mango!
You are that famous Salem mango, girl!
I'll pluck you gently and eat you right up!
I'm hanging way up high, how are you going to pluck me?
If I turn into a squirrel and leap gracefully,
I'll nibble on you all over!
Now that you've made up your mind,
and dared to finish me off,
and circle around me, I surrender, I give in!
Mangoooo, hey, mangoooo!

Overall song meaning
Maambazhamaam Maambazham is an energetic, flirtatious duet from the 2007 Tamil film Pokkiri, composed by Mani Sharma. The song revolves around playful, sensual banter between the lead characters, using the lush metaphor of a sweet, ripe Salem mango to represent beauty, desire, and physical attraction. Through vivid imagery involving taste, culinary motifs, and mischievous teasing, the lovers engage in a spirited game of chase and submission. The hero compares himself to a nimble squirrel ready to pluck and taste the prized fruit, while the heroine tantalizingly challenges his bold pursuit.
