I bought a silk veshti and shirt
And gave them to you...
Wear that veshti like a village headman
And give your verdict!
Just like a scarecrow in the field,
To make you stand right there,
I will drape a Kanchipuram silk saree
All around you!
Between you and me,
There is a contest now:
Will the saree win, or the veshti?
You arrive looking so gorgeous,
Yet you torment me!
Surrendering all of yourself to me,
You are killing me!
Oh, you kill me, you kill me!
Hey cheeky girl, you are truly killing me!
I bought a silk veshti and shirt
And gave them to you...
Wear that veshti like a village headman
And give your verdict!
Aaaa……aaa….aa……aa…
The moon up in the sky,
Just because I told it to,
Stays awake and waits!
It stands guard over this silly love of ours.
To spread its sweet fragrance,
Only because I asked it to,
It waits without ever fading!
It has bloomed for this silly love of ours.
The more I look at you,
The less I like it!
Leaving without looking at you,
That is what I really like!
Female: Holding you in my arms,
I do not like it!
Kicking you far away,
That is what I really like!
A little clash in love,
A little love in every clash!
Is this the mischief you do for love,
Or the playful game love plays on you?
I bought a silk veshti and shirt
And gave them to you...
Wear that veshti like a village headman
And give your verdict!
Aelae aelae ae ..ae…
Aelae aelae ae ..ae…
Hae ae…hae…ae……
Goodness me, a beauty like me,
Because I cast a curse on you,
Your face will turn horrible!
There is a curse ready to ruin you!
I am a grown young woman,
Even if I happen to look bad,
I will simply put on makeup!
There is an answer to your petty curse!
Lifting you up and throwing you away,
That is what I feel like doing!
Yet like a giant wooden barrel,
You are so heavy!
Talking sweetly and pampering you,
I do not like it!
Biting and tearing into you,
That is what I really like!
A little playful sulking in love,
What is the longing hidden in this sulk?
Is this the mischief you do for love,
Or the playful game love plays on you?
I bought a silk veshti and shirt
And gave them to you...
Wear that veshti like a village headman
And give your verdict!
Hoo ooo, just like a scarecrow in the field,
To make you stand right there,
I will drape a Kanchipuram silk saree
All around you!
You arrive looking so gorgeous,
Chorus: Yet you torment me!
Male: Surrendering all of yourself to me,
Chorus: You are killing me!
Male: Oh, you kill me, you kill me!
Hey cheeky girl, you are truly killing me!
