{So smooth and sleek,
Chorus: Oh mama, oh mama} (2)
Female: {So smooth and sleek,
Chorus: Oh mama, oh mama} (2)
You and I make a great pair,
Dancing happily together,
With singing, dancing, and fun,
A crowd of millions has gathered!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
Hey mischievous Valliyamma,
You dazzling beauty,
Shall we dance to a lively beat?
Shall we get up to some naughty mischief?
Is it a crime? Tell me, girl, is it a crime?
Do you agree to it this evening?
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
Hey, he shivers as he touches me,
He laughs with a racing heart,
He trembles all over with excitement,
He keeps stirring my heart incessantly!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
Hey, you spin around like a top,
You sparkle like pure magic,
You charm me like a magician!
You, you rascal, you are the only one for me,
I am entirely yours in abundance!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
Chugging along like a train,
Draped in a floral spring saree,
She breaks this young boy's heart
Into tiny little pieces!
What excitement, girl, what a blast!
We are like firecrackers bursting together!
{So smooth and sleek,
Chorus: Oh mama, oh mama} (2)
A game of blind man's buff spins around me,
His mustache bristles prick my cheek,
My fingertips hit the stones,
May the deity possess and strike you!
Come on, handsome, come on!
My young man trapped my heart!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
Oh-ho-ho!
You and I make a great pair,
Dancing happily together,
With singing, dancing, and fun,
A crowd of millions has gathered!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
Girl with a waist as sweet as ginger candy,
Dressed as neatly as a smooth seed,
Fair as milk and sweet candy,
Beauty with eyes like betel nuts,
You clever girl, you stole my heart,
Where did you hide it?
Why did you stir up my feelings like this?
Hey, he shivers as he touches me,
He laughs with a racing heart,
He trembles all over with excitement,
He keeps pestering me incessantly!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
Hey, we can bathe in Courtallam,
We can dry off in Thekkady,
We can hide away in Coonoor,
We can search for each other in Kulithalai!
Come on, come on!
We can run away to Goa,
We can party wild in Pondicherry!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama!
: So smooth and sleek,
Chorus: Oh mama, oh mama
Male: So smooth and sleek, oh mama, oh mama...
