Oho, ohoy!
You big chatterbox of the world,
Step aside and move away, girl!
If you spin too many tall tales,
I will cast a spell and tame you, girl!
You big chatterbox of the world,
Step aside and move away, girl!
If you really have the guts,
Stand your ground, why try to scare me like a ghost?
Even if you are a great queen,
You still need to have some respect!
For a man to tie the wedding knot with you,
You need to change completely!
Boasting endlessly without doing any real work,
Why do you stir up such trouble, girl?
Hey girl, hey!
You big chatterbox of the world,
Step aside and move away, girl!
If you spin too many tall tales,
I will cast a spell and tame you, girl!
Hey girl...
You big chatterbox of the world...
Without boiling the pot or cooking rice,
Without doing any chores all day long,
You roam the streets in sheer arrogance,
I will break your legs, girl!
If you lose your poise and wander off like this,
What will this whole town say about you?
Without ever having a proper wedding,
Just watch, you will end up all alone!
Knowing what is right and wrong,
A woman should understand and act wisely.
If you just treat everything as a game,
It will only turn into trouble!
You big chatterbox of the world,
Step aside and move away, girl!
If you spin too many tall tales,
I will cast a spell and tame you, girl!
Hey girl...
Ah... if the jingling of your bangles
sounds like a song at the temple,
and the tinkle of your anklets is like a love note
striking straight at my soul,
I too will start a life and bond with you!
If you indulge endlessly at all times
and just celebrate without care,
it will surely cause trouble later on!
The elders taught us the limits we should keep,
if you ignore them, you will fall low!
A woman carries great responsibility,
and honour comes when you live up to that trust.
If only you stay modest and humble,
no harm will ever come to you!
You big chatterbox of the world,
Step aside and move away, girl!
If you spin too many tall tales,
I will cast a spell and tame you, girl!
Hey, hey!
You big chatterbox of the world,
Step aside and move away, girl!
If you really have the guts,
Stand your ground, why try to scare me like a ghost?
Even if you are a great queen,
You still need to have some respect!
For a man to tie the wedding knot with you,
You need to change completely!
Boasting endlessly without doing any real work,
Why do you stir up such trouble, girl?
Hey girl, hey!
