A ten-rupee blouse cloth,
A city silk cloth,
I will gladly buy them for you,
Just come close to me, girl!
Wearing a bordered dhoti,
Tucking an umbrella under your arm,
Even if you circle around me ten times,
I will not agree!
Hey, don't you have even a little mercy?
Oh, my colorful parrot,
Don't you feel any love for me?
These clever tricks of yours...
Will they ever work on me?
If we are just a little careful,
Will any trouble ever happen?
Hey, a ten-rupee blouse cloth,
A city silk cloth,
I will gladly buy them for you,
Just come close to me, girl!
Wearing a bordered dhoti,
Tucking an umbrella under your arm,
Even if you circle around me ten times,
I will not agree!
Hey, girl with teeth shining like green beads,
You beauty with spinning-top eyes,
A picture-perfect pearl of a beauty,
Golden beauty born to my aunt,
Leaving you, where else would I go, girl?
Hey handsome, with your cucumber-smooth nose,
Hey handsome, with your ringing bronze voice,
Sporting a mustache curved like a sickle,
Holding a sharp blade in your hand,
If you approach like that, will love blossom?
Why are you glaring at me?
What flaw do you see in me?
Where are you running away from me?
You sweet-talk for no reason,
You boast with false pride,
Doing such useless things!
When you see me, you resist,
You push me away on purpose,
Yet even so, I never get tired of you!
You torment me so much,
You treat me like cattle,
I don't like this at all!
A ten-rupee blouse cloth,
A city silk cloth,
I will gladly buy them for you,
Just come close to me, girl!
Wearing a bordered dhoti,
Tucking an umbrella under your arm,
Even if you circle around me ten times,
I will not agree!
Putting glass bangles on your wrists,
Putting anklets on your feet,
All over your body,
I will adorn you with pure gold!
Come away with me, my princess!
My father's words,
Even if I'm killed, I won't disobey!
Without anyone knowing,
If I run away with you,
It will ruin my family honor, so I won't come!
I cherish you like my own eyes,
I value you like precious gold,
Listen to what I am saying!
You speak very sweetly,
Trying to trick me,
I won't fall for your words!
Oh, I haven't even had my porridge,
I haven't closed my eyes to sleep,
Thoughts of you, my beauty, never leave me!
My heart cannot bear it,
I haven't forgotten my love,
Leaving you, I seek no one else!
A ten-rupee blouse cloth,
A city silk cloth,
I will gladly buy them for you,
Just come close to me, girl!
Wearing a bordered dhoti,
Tucking an umbrella under your arm,
Even if you circle around me ten times,
I will not agree!
Hey, don't you have even a little mercy?
Oh, my colorful parrot,
Don't you feel any love for me?
These clever tricks of yours...
Will they ever work on me?
If we are just a little careful,
Will any trouble ever happen?
