Oh surekha surekha
Vaa surekha
Oh surekha surekha
Vaa surekha
He looks at me
He glances softly at me
With just his eyes
He strikes me every day
He keeps asking
He asks for it every day
Drunk on the thought of a kiss,
The madness rushes to my head!
Oh, his mischievous nagging
Is getting out of hand
Hey, all over me, his eyes
Sneak in and wander around
"Don't hurt the poor guy,"
My heart tells me
But oh, his teasing torment
Is crossing every limit!
Aa ha aa ha
Ha aa aa ha
Aa ha aa ha
Ha aa aa ha haha
Oh Surekha, Surekha
Come on, Surekha
Oh Surekha, Surekha
Come on, Surekha
He speaks in playful hints,
This clever guy of mine
He grabs every chance to flirt,
Oh my goodness!
He asks for everything right now,
Standing right in front of me
I try to protect myself,
Struggling all the way
Calling me his Kalaivani (goddess of the arts),
He steals me away
Hey, using my own shyness,
He melts down my resistance
Wildly and recklessly,
He stirs me up inside
Oh, to make a garden bed
And pour the water,
He is searching for a spot!
Oh Surekha, Surekha
Come on, Surekha
Oh Surekha, Surekha
Come on, Surekha
