Hukk.. hukk... hukk
Hey Lord, hey Lord!
Hey Lord, hey Lord!
Hey Lord, hey Lord!
Hey Lord, hey Lord!
Mmm, so voluptuous and lush,
you make me try to hide it all!
You come close with such cozy warmth,
making me faint with desire!
Mmm, tormenting me incessantly,
you are making me suffer!
Asking "what and what", everything
you make me shed and drop down!
Drenched and dripping,
you snap your fingers!
As you continuously tease and make love,
you give your consent!
Climbing the great Kolli hills that I scaled,
atop the high peak rock,
hangs a honeycomb!
In the swollen yellow banana plant,
there is a whole bunch of fruit,
resembling a bosom because of that!
Mmm, so voluptuous and lush,
you make me try to hide it all!
You come close with such cozy warmth,
making me faint with desire!
Mmm, tormenting me incessantly,
you are making me suffer!
Asking "what and what", everything
you make me shed and drop down!
.....................
Fragrant and rich,
the big elder one grumbles.
But when coming close so enticingly,
the little one leaps with joy!
With heavy, proud thumps,
the elder one showed arrogance.
But coming along with firm strength,
the little girl turns things around!
Brightly and brilliantly,
the big one shines, but close by,
coming forward so taut and tight,
the little one shakes things up!
Take a log of bamboo,
if you mix a little teak with it,
isn't a cot ready right here?
Hey girl, you are the fertile soil,
I rained down upon you like a shower,
and flowed along with you like a flood!
With heavy, proud thumps,
the elder one showed arrogance.
But coming along with firm strength,
the little girl turns things around!
Fragrant and rich,
the big elder one grumbles.
But when coming close so enticingly,
the little one leaps with joy!
Oh dear, achchi kichchi, oh dear, achchi kichchi!
Oh dear, achchi kichchi!
Oh dear, achchi kichchi, oh dear, achchi kichchi!
Oh dear, achchi kichchi!
Oh dear, achchi kichchi, oh dear, achchi kichchi!
Oh dear, achchi kichchi!
Oh dear, achchi kichchi!
Brisk and energetic, I am the maiden of Parani!
Like water used to rinse, I am seasoned and sharp!
I am the maiden with ears turned flush red!
Like a red pig raising its tail, I am a mature woman ready for the feast!
Plump and luscious, I am the fiery maiden of Kolli!
Lifting her tail to be taken along, I am the young granddaughter!
When the herd changes its course in the west and arrives,
we will toil together united in the palm grove!
While in the dance gathering there is a small sound,
without letting it fade, we will mingle completely!
