Wearing glasses,
O beautiful-eyed girl, O lovely woman!
If you stand in front of me,
Three hundred songs will pour out!
Three hundred songs will pour out!
For the groom from the city,
A bride from Bangalore!
It is such a perfect match,
So fall in love with me, my dear!
Handsome Kannan
Longs to make love,
But when your hands and legs are shaking,
Why do you even need a mustache?
For the groom from the city,
A bride from Bangalore!
It is such a perfect match,
So fall in love with me, my dear!
Handsome Kannan
Longs to make love,
But when your hands and legs are shaking,
Why do you even need a mustache?
A silver screen, my heart is a silver screen,
And the movie playing on it, my dear, is your face!
A silver screen, my heart is a silver screen,
And the movie playing on it, my dear, is your face!
A star, you are a shining star,
And this heart will forever be
Your very own fan club!
I know your tastes
Wonderfully well,
And I will give gifts to match those tastes,
Ever so secretly!
Handsome Kannan
Longs to make love,
But when your hands and legs are shaking,
Why do you even need a mustache?
For the groom from the city,
A bride from Bangalore!
It is such a perfect match,
So fall in love with me, my dear!
Evening will arrive,
Twilight will fall,
And this fever of love
Rises whenever I see a woman!
A turmeric-bright face,
This radiant glowing face...
Just give it a single kiss,
And your madness will be cured!
If you give me one,
I am waiting to give you a hundred back, girl!
O living portrait, dripping with sweetness,
I have been gazing at you!
For the groom from the city,
A bride from Bangalore!
It is such a perfect match,
So fall in love with me, my dear!
Handsome Kannan
Longs to make love,
But when your hands and legs are shaking,
Why do you even need a mustache?
Wait a little,
Kannan, wait a little!
Anywhere people can see us,
Shyness comes over me!
Feel shy, go on and blush even more,
There is pleasure in it, a special kind of joy!
Whenever I feel shy,
I always bite my nails!
When desire takes over, I will come close
And gently nibble your ear!
Whenever I feel shy,
I always bite my nails!
When desire takes over, I will come close
And gently nibble your ear!
For the groom from the city,
A bride from Bangalore!
It is such a perfect match,
So fall in love with me, my dear!
Handsome Kannan
Longs to make love,
But when your hands and legs are shaking,
Why do you even need a mustache?
