Shining at sweet sixteen,
hail those milky moon-like eyes!
Wearing baggy pants and T-shirts,
hail the girls walking past!
Sending love letters with their eyes,
hail those sweet young Juliets!
Wearing low-cut blouses and low-waist sarees,
hail to the fiery beauties, all hail!
I am a bachelor,
and for the right match for me,
hey, I'm searching everywhere!
If I find her, it will be pure joy,
I will tie the sacred yellow wedding thread (thaali)!
Hey, isn't that what I am singing for... hey... hey...
Cool, charming little bird,
striking all kinds of tunes with her eyes!
Male: Jimba!
Chorus: Just saying it feels so cool,
joy fills the day today!
Male: Hey hey!
...
Look over there, a beautiful moon,
taking a slow stroll down the street!
Her cheeks are sweet like ripe jackfruit,
her waist bends gracefully like a bow of lightning!
Hey, climbing onto a scooter,
a silk-saree girl kicks it to start!
With such a soft and curvy frame,
if I get her, I will marry her!
Standing at the bus stop,
dressed in a salwar kameez,
a sweet girl on her way to college!
Circling around her, my heart wanders,
darling, please turn around and look! Ah!
Cool, charming little bird,
striking all kinds of tunes with her eyes!
Male: Ah baby!
Chorus: Just saying it feels so cool,
joy fills the day today!
I have checked out ten girls already,
looking and looking, I have broken into a sweat!
Each one is more gorgeous than the last,
stunning like a temple chariot!
Generally they are all in their teens,
so when will I ever get married?
An auspicious time must be set,
hey, until then my heart feels heavy!
Just to get married,
if you tell a lie or two,
it is never really a crime, aha!
Single bachelors like me,
there are so many across the land,
but none is as genuine as me... haha!
Cool, charming little bird,
striking all kinds of tunes with her eyes!
Male: Hey hey!
Chorus: Just saying it feels so cool,
joy fills the day today!
I am a bachelor,
and for the right match for me,
hey, I'm searching everywhere!
If I find her, it will be pure joy,
I will tie the sacred yellow wedding thread (thaali)!
Hey, isn't that what I am singing for... yeah... yeah...
Cool, charming little bird,
striking all kinds of tunes with her eyes!
Just saying it feels so cool,
joy fills the day today!
Cool, charming little bird,
striking all kinds of tunes with her eyes!
Just saying it feels so cool,
joy fills the day today!
