Chorus :Thannana thanthaana
Thanna nana naana naana naana
Kiss, kiss...
Female: How many kisses?
The kisses given...
Female: Countless!
Slipping away from hugging hands,
a young bud pulls back.
Female: It comes near,
and clings close!
Male: Softly touching and brushing against the lips...
Muthamma, Muthamma!
Give me a kiss, girl!
If it's not enough,
don't make a fuss, girl!
Muthayya, Muthayya!
It takes my breath away!
Sharp and stinging,
a scorpion stings!
Confused and overwhelmed,
my heart is yearning.
All the desires piled up inside,
ah, unleash and set them free!
The dam on the big river
is opening its floodgates, girl!
Muthamma, Muthamma!
Give me a kiss, girl!
Muthamma, Muthamma!
Give me a kiss, girl!
Give it... give it!
In the hold of the butterfly,
the flower got caught!
Hey, the flower got caught!
Oh, the flower got caught!
Even though spun around and breathless,
it stays upright in pure joy!
If you touch it, you get a shock,
just like an electric wire!
Ha, like an electric wire!
You are like an electric wire!
I touched you in a flash,
and was startled with happiness!
The body burns with a fever of a hundred and four degrees,
and in this heat, dreams come to both of us.
Shall I rest on your lap?
Shall I wear jasmine flowers?
Shall I unite with you wholeheartedly?
Then this craze will ease a little.
Muthamma, Muthamma!
Muthamma, Muthamma!
Give me a kiss, girl!
Muthayya, Muthayya!
It takes my breath away!
Confused and overwhelmed,
my heart is yearning.
All the desires piled up inside,
ah, unleash and set them free!
The dam on the big river
is opening its floodgates, girl!
Muthamma, Muthamma!
Give me a kiss, girl!
Muthamma, Muthamma!
Give me a kiss, girl!
Give it... give it!
All these days, all this youth
was just lying idle!
Ha, was just lying idle!
It was just lying idle!
If I give it all to you,
will it wear out or diminish?
Darling girl, say it again!
I've won the prize!
Hey, I've won the prize!
A wonderful lucky prize!
Who ever gets a treasure like this, girl?
Your heart is as wide as the sky!
The fresh plantain leaf is laid out,
and a hunger of many days is waiting.
I want to serve the feast,
I tremble with excitement,
I want to satisfy this hunger,
all that has blossomed is for you!
Hey!
Muthamma, Muthamma!
Muthamma, Muthamma!
Give me a kiss, girl!
Muthayya, Muthayya!
It takes my breath away!
Confused and overwhelmed,
my heart is yearning.
All the desires piled up inside,
ah, unleash and set them free!
The dam on the big river
is opening its floodgates, girl!
Muthamma, Muthamma!
Give me a kiss, girl!
