Grey, grey...
That grey hair on your forehead,
It completely charms me, my man!
To hang a swing from it
And sway back and forth,
A desire rose inside me
And ran all through my heart.
Why don't you come in a cart,
Bearing betel leaves and areca nuts?
I came carrying a pot of water,
I came carrying a pot of water,
Was it you who walked right in front of me?
I stumbled and lost my balance,
Why did you leave me yearning, my man?
Struck by your piercing gaze,
Mm... struck by your piercing gaze,
A fire caught and blazed!
Grey, grey...
Grey-e-e-e...
That grey hair on your forehead,
It completely charms me, my man!
To hang a swing from it
And sway back and forth.
Fluttering in half of that madness,
My lovesickness flew away.
Muttering in the rest of that craze,
I lost my sleep completely.
Thinking of you all day long,
I forgot how to walk.
Why did you come even while I slept?
My dream blushed red.
If Goddess Mariamman blesses us,
If Goddess Mariamman blesses us,
The farmlands will flourish.
My bridal sari trailing on the floor,
With turmeric glowing at its edge,
The thali (sacred marriage thread) shining on my neck,
The thali (sacred marriage thread) shining on my neck,
And the black beads swaying softly.
Grey, grey...
Grey-e-e-e...
That grey hair on your forehead,
It completely charms me, my man!
To hang a swing from it
And sway back and forth,
A desire rose inside me
And ran all through my heart.
Why don't you come in a cart,
Bearing betel leaves and areca nuts?
I came carrying a pot of water,
Was it you who walked right in front of me?
I stumbled and lost my balance,
Why did you leave me yearning, my man?
Struck, struck by your piercing gaze...
Struck by your piercing gaze,
A fire caught and blazed!
