Green...
Female: Mmm-hmmm...
Male: Little parrot...
Female: Mmm-hmmm...
Green, green, green...
Green parrot, little green parrot,
have you arrived? Have you arrived?
That lovely beauty mark,
did you see it? Did you see it?
Green, green, little green parrot,
have you arrived? Have you arrived?
That lovely beauty mark,
did you see it? Did you see it?
Like a fiery red chili,
did my heart catch fire? Did it?
Without leaving a trace behind,
did you devour it completely? Did you?
Oh dear! Oh my, oh dear!
Did desire take hold? Did it take hold?
Did my heart flutter like a little bird? Did it?
Did we touch the peak? Did we reach the top?
Chorus: Eley, eley...
Saala, ah aah...
Hey, shall we play "kichi-kichi taamboolam",
"kiya-kiya taamboolam" (a clapping game)?
Are you coming to play with me?
Why are you trying to lay your hands on me?
Don't play your sly tricks,
just mind your way and keep moving!
Hey, your parrot-like nose is so pretty,
it pokes right into my heart!
A glittering diamond nose stud,
shall I hook it on for you? Shall I?
If I let you touch my nose,
your breath will sneak right in,
and you will try to see all of me!
No, no, I don't want that!
Hey, show me, show me, show me,
wave a green flag for me!
If I hold you close in my arms,
can I wrap you up completely?
Oh dear! Oh my, oh dear!
Chorus: Green...
Female: Did desire take hold? Did it take hold?
Chorus: Green...
Female: Did my heart flutter like a little bird? Did it?
Chorus: Green...
Male: Did we touch the peak? Did we reach the top?
Chorus: Green, green...
Green, green, green, green...
Shall we catch some fish and feast?
Give me the edge of your saree, girl!
The river runs deep,
Hey... don't touch me recklessly,
don't scoop me up like carp fish,
and don't cast your fishing hook on me!
Hey, give me your foot for a moment,
give me your hand for a moment,
Anklets, bangles, and toe rings—
I will bring them all for you!
Haha, don't try any mischief,
like cured salted meat,
the moment my eyes fall on you,
I will gobble you right up!
Hey girl, come to me, come, come,
take me away with you!
Rushing in front and behind,
it bumps and pushes against me!
Oh dear! Oh my, oh dear!
Chorus: Green...

have you arrived? Have you arrived?
That lovely beauty mark,
did you see it? Did you see it?

did my heart catch fire? Did it?
Without leaving a trace behind,
did you devour it completely? Did you?
Oh dear! Oh my, oh dear!
Did desire take hold? Did it take hold?

Did we touch the peak... touch the peak...?
