Right by the front yard,
there is a touring cinema tent!

Twist it,
grab and crush it!
Chorus: Yeah!
Male: Hold it tight and squeeze,
there is still more to come!
Chorus: Haa...
Male: Toss her old song aside
and sing this song!
Twist it up!
Carrying a water pot,
looking out from the corner of her eye,
a girl walks along the pathway,
marching like a grand procession, boys!
The spell cast by her waist,
once you see it, how could you feel hungry?
The more you think about it, the sweeter it tastes,
put it on your tongue and it stings with spice!
For the night's fun and games,
I am the hard worker!
Chorus: Hey sumkuchikkum
chikkum!
Male: For this gang of rascals,
I am the perfect partner!
Chorus: Hey sumkuchikkum
chikkum!
Our ways,
Chorus: Our ways,
Male: will shake you all up,
Chorus: will shake you up,
Male: make your body tingle,
Chorus: make it tingle,
Male: pull you in from deep inside,
Chorus: pull you in!
Male: This isn't just a time-pass song,
and you don't even need a ticket for this!
Hoo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Hoo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
By the lonely banyan tree,
tying a swing right there,
swing away as you please, boys,
each building a little home of your own!
This is the age to fly high like a kite,
the wild swagger of youth!
The more you think about it, the bigger it grows,
in our minds, what is ever small?
When young people
get together, it is pure joy!
Chorus: Sam sam sam
Male: Come evening, everyone unites,
have no doubt about it!
Chorus: Gum gum gum
We will touch one thing,
and then let it go,
we will pick up whatever we find,
and rat each other out!
For this village,
this is always the king of songs!
Raise the jug and cheer!
Hey hey hey hey hey hey heyheyyy
When young people
get together, it is pure joy!
Come evening, everyone unites,
have no doubt about it!
We will touch one thing,
and then let it go,
Chorus: Yeah!
Male: We will pick up whatever we find,
and rat each other out!
Chorus: Aiyo aiyo!
Male: For this village,
this is always the king of songs!
Raise the jug and cheer!

The imagery revolves around rural life, flirtatious glances, youthful mischief, and collective joy where social constraints disappear.
