Give the girl a Jigarthanda (sweet cold drink)!
The girl will take a sip and share it!
If she sways with a little flair,
Even Tallakulam lake will overflow!
If her anklets jingle just a bit,
Even the town of Alanganallur will roar!
Give the girl a Jigarthanda!
Chorus: Give the girl a Jigarthanda!
Male: The girl will take a sip and share it!
Chorus: The girl will take a sip and share it!
For a sprout to pierce through the soil,
Hey, water and warmth must come together.
To charm you and pull you close,
Your heart and mind must agree...
Haa... aah... aa... aah...
Ushaa ushaananaa
Ushaa ushaananaa
Ushaa ushaananaa sangweyaanoo
That day, on the steps of the temple pond,
As you sat crouching there,
Seeing you, sweet as a block of jaggery,
Smacking my lips again and again,
All the moisture dried right up
On my tongue...
Run to me, girl, and wet my dry lips!
When you walked around the roadside Ganesha shrine,
A rooster crowed inside my head,
My head started spinning around,
And as I went circling around you,
My whole life got tossed upside down...
Send me some good news,
Send word to me!
Oh sweet red banana tree!
The path to my desire is
Your saree's falling drape!
Swaying and stumbling, my heart lost balance,
And stumbled right into your heart!
A champion, a truly clever guy!
I am the clever guy who caught this little parrot!
Female: Lala lala lala lala lala lalalaala
Give the girl a Jigarthanda!
Chorus: Jigarthanda, Jigarthanda, Jigarthanda!
Male: The girl will take a sip and share it!
Chorus: Take a sip and share it!
Take a sip and share it!
Ushaa ushaananaa
Ushaa ushaananaa
Ushaa ushaananaa sangweyaanoo
Even though a giant tree rests inside a seed,
It does not belong to the seed alone.
All the beauty you hold within
Does not belong just to you!
Come to Thiruparankundram temple,
Come with me, girl!
First our wedding, and then holding
A baby in our arms!
Listen girl, all the way to Dindigul fort,
Roaming all around the land,
Heaps of fresh jasmine flowers,
I want to buy matching your weight,
And tuck them in your hair from behind...
Oh beautiful girl, you must
Help me make this dream come true!
Give it, give it, give it, give it!
All that beauty you have gathered up,
Give it to me, give it!
Are they just one or two? Are they few?
The struggles I faced to win you over,
Are they just one or two?
Take it, take it, oh girl, take it!
The sacred kumkum (red powder) of Madurai Meenakshi,
Take it, take it!
Female: Lala lala lala lala lala lalalaala
Give the girl a Jigarthanda!
Chorus: Give the girl a Jigarthanda!
Male: The girl will take a sip and share it!
Chorus: The girl will take a sip and share it!
If she sways with a little flair,
Even Tallakulam lake will overflow!
If her anklets jingle just a bit,
Even the town of Alanganallur will roar!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
