In the kingdom of Pandiyan, ooyalala
For the sweet parrot who longed for it, ooyalala
I placed a wedding garland in your hand
I fell in love at this sweet moment...
In the kingdom of Pandiyan, ooyalala
For the sweet parrot who longed for it, ooyalala
You placed a wedding garland in my hand
I fell in love at this sweet moment...
In the kingdom of Pandiyan, ooyalala
Female: In the kingdom of Pandiyan, ooyalala
When you smile and I hold you close,
As flowers spread sweet fragrance and nectar,
As you share sweetness and take it in return,
I stay lost in love all day long.
While you stretch out like the vast ocean,
And I float across you like a sailboat,
While I toss and turn sleepless through the night,
The king's loving play heals my restless longing.
As shyness fades and I unite with you,
To touch and play together, won't happiness overflow? Oh...
In the kingdom of Pandiyan, ooyalala
For the sweet parrot who longed for it, ooyalala
I placed a wedding garland in your hand
I fell in love at this sweet moment
In the kingdom of Pandiyan, ooyalala
Male: In the kingdom of Pandiyan, ooyalala
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
O king among kings,
The hero of my heart!
My lovely one, apple of my eye,
Your beauty is like a shining golden gem!
As rainclouds in the sky sprinkle water,
As our longing bodies come together,
As I sing the melodies of youth,
As your slender waist trembles with desire,
Holding this little flower,
And this sweet, bright moon,
To touch and play together,
Won't joy overflow?
In the kingdom of Pandiyan, ooyalala
For the sweet parrot who longed for it, ooyalala
I placed a wedding garland in your hand
I fell in love at this sweet moment...
In the kingdom of Pandiyan, ooyalala
For the sweet parrot who longed for it, ooyalala
You placed a wedding garland in my hand
I fell in love at this sweet moment...
