I picked the right day and came here, my love
Ever since I arrived, there is joy all around
My eyes are set only on you
Joining hands with you
Today is the time for us to become one
Joo joo juju joo... ooh...
I picked the right day and came here, my love
Ever since I arrived, there is joy all around
My eyes are set only on you
Joining hands with you
Female: Thara tharathaa
Male: Today is the time for us to become one
Female: Thara tharathaa
Male: Lallalla laala laalaa... aah...
...
I am the queen who wins over the town and earns fame
No one has ever outsmarted and defeated me
I can soothe men's hearts and rock them to sleep
The teasing glance of my eyes is irresistible
Oh golden deer suffering inside this cage
I have come here to take you away
Aren't I your true family forever?
I will wipe away all the tears you shed
Joining hands with you
Male: Joo joo juju joo... ooh...
Female: Today is the time for us to become one
Male: Lallalla laala laalaa...
Female: Joo joo juju joo... ooh...
I picked the right day and came here, my love
Ever since I arrived, there is joy all around
My eyes are set only on you
Joining hands with you
Today is the time for us to become one
Joo joo juju joo... aah... aa... aa...
Here before me flows a river of sweet milk
Those two blossom-blue eyes are rivers of honey
Who is the one to scoop it up as desire overflows?
Why not seal the promise right now?
The wind is blowing in our favour now
The guilty crowd will not escape today
Your false pride won't work here anymore
Justice never sleeps, my friend
Joining hands with you
Female: Thara tharathaa
Male: Today is the time for us to become one
Female: Lallaal laala
Male: ...
I picked the right day and came here, my love
Ever since I arrived, there is joy all around
My eyes are set only on you
Male: Joining hands with you
Female: Lallaal lallalla
