Aa... aa... aaaa...
Pee-pee-pee-pe... pee-pee-pee-pe...
Inside this little thatched hut,
Sweetly cuddle and play with each other!
Don't worry if all you have is simple porridge,
Just overflow with boundless love and affection!
There is joy even in hard times,
Once you discover that sweet happiness!
Inside this little thatched hut,
Sweetly cuddle and play with each other!
Don't worry if all you have is simple porridge,
Just overflow with boundless love and affection!
Tying the golden thaali (wedding thread) and exchanging flower garlands,
What a wonderful, auspicious day it is!
Speaking through your eyes and joining hands,
Life from now on will be sweet as honey!
Keep your husband close to your chest, girl,
Let the whole town look on and admire!
Keep your husband close to your chest, girl,
Let the whole town look on and admire!
Now that you've become his wife,
Celebrate with joyful fun,
Now and forever, oh girl, oh girl!
Inside this thatched, thatched hut,
Sweetly cuddle and play with each other!
Chorus: Inside this little thatched hut,
Sweetly cuddle and play with each other!
Stop the singing and lay out the wedding feast properly, guys!
No more dancing, what we've earned isn't enough!
Time to get moving, this isn't enough!
Chorus: Time to get moving, this isn't enough!
Male: Beat the drums, that's not enough!
Chorus: Beat the drums, that's not enough!
Male: If the wedding thread is tied...
Chorus: That's not enough!
Male: If we have a drink...
Chorus: That's not enough!
Serve the feast, serve the feast!
Serve the feast, you rascals!
Hold on, listen to your big brother's song first,
And then you can feast on the food... ha... aa... aa...
Now sow the seed for the cradle yet to be made,
Right there upon the bed... ah... aah...
Raise a rich harvest again and again,
People are going to cast their envious eyes!
Isn't it enough if mother earth gives you room, girl?
God will grant His blessings generously!
Isn't it enough if mother earth gives you room, girl?
God will grant His blessings generously!
Harvest your crop thrice a year, there's no harm in that,
You are going to become a father, hey hey, oh man, oh man!
Inside this little thatched hut,
Chorus: Hey... ye...
Male: Sweetly cuddle and play with each other!
Chorus: Hey... ye...
Male: Don't worry if all you have is simple porridge,
Chorus: Hey... ye...
Male: Just overflow with boundless love and affection!

Male: There is joy even in hard times,
Once you discover all those sweet pleasures!
Inside this thatched hut,
