Tell me, girl, who is going to kiss you ten times?
Hey, is he going to kiss just because I make a sound? Go away, you naughty girl!
Tell me, girl, who is going to kiss you ten times?
Hey, is he going to kiss just because I make a sound? Go away, you naughty girl!
Holding your hand wearing jingling bangles,
Valaipaandi will sweep you tightly into his arms!
On the first day I will hold back, and the next day I will give in,
On the first day I will hold back, and the next day I will give in,
If we speak of it, the joy is a thousand-fold, oh my!
Tell me, girl, who is going to kiss you ten times?
Hey, is he going to kiss just because I make a sound? Go away, you naughty girl!
With your fine beauty rolling like the sea,
And your body floating gently like a boat,
With your fine beauty rolling like the sea,
And your body floating gently like a boat,
When passion simmers it cools, and when shared it only grows,
When passion simmers it cools, and when shared it only grows,
If we speak of it, the joy is a thousand-fold, oh my!
With Mother Mahamayi (the protective goddess) watching over me,
Every thought of mine will turn into sweet joy.
Let the wedding day come, and let it grant everything the heart desires,
Let the wedding day come, and let it grant everything the heart desires,
If we speak of it, the joy is a thousand-fold, oh my!
Tell me, girl, who is going to kiss you ten times?
Hey, is he going to kiss just because I make a sound? Go away, you naughty girl!
