Rakkamma, clap your hands!
Compose a tune in a brand new raga!
Hey night bird, sing softly...
Chorus: Jaga jaga jaga jaa
Male: ...touching this king's heart!
Chorus: Jaga jaga jaga jaga jaga
Oh my king,
set up a festive tent,
and string a fresh rose garland!
Drape it over this princess's shoulders,
Chorus: Jaga jaga jaga jaa
Female: and keep the rhythm beating all night long!
Chorus: Jaga jaga jaga jaga jaga
Rules and restrictions won't hold me back;
where is the brave man who can tie me down?

Haha!
Rakkamma, clap your hands!
Compose a tune in a brand new raga!
Female: Oh my king,
set up a festive tent,
and string a fresh rose garland!
The day of pulling the temple chariot
and the day of the temple float festival—
tell me, my man, why are we celebrating them here today?
Look, all the townspeople
gather together in unity,
without any trouble or fuss, just see!
The beat of the drum
should reach across
eight whole towns, brother, play it with spirit!
The firecracker rocket you launch
should hit the very sky, brother, shoot it straight up!
Beat the festive drums and sing along!
Rakkamma, shower your sweet kisses,
Chorus: Jaga jaga jaga jaa
Male: coming to me daily like pearls of dew!
Chorus: Jaga jaga jaga jaga jaga
Oh mister, you are like a wild bull,
Chorus: Jaga jaga jaga jaa
Female: don't come prancing around and grazing here!
Chorus: Jaga jaga jaga jaga jaga
Come close to me,
you're like a haystack!
If I graze on you a little,
why make such a big fuss?
{Jaangu jakku sajakku jakku
Jaangu jakku jaa

Hey hey hey hey!
Rakkamma, clap your hands!
Compose a tune in a brand new raga!
Female: Oh mister, you are like a wild bull,
don't come prancing around and grazing here!
At every doorstep,
in vibrant colors,
run here and there and light the oil lamps!
Look, the pitch darkness has vanished,
broad daylight has arrived!
Joy blooms everywhere like fresh flowers!
For all good-hearted people, won't a bright future
arrive if they only have faith?
If all our hearts unite as one,
won't victory land right in our hands?
Today and every single day
is indeed a blessed day!
Kannamma, touch my cheek,
and wrap me in sweet bliss, my little pearl!
Female: Put on a garland of flowers,
and belt out brand new songs with all your might!
Mmm... mm... mmm...
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
The arched brow, and on red lips
the budding smile,
the dewy matted hair, the coral-hued
body smeared with milky white sacred ash,
and the sweet, gracefully lifted golden foot...
if one is blessed to behold that golden foot,
even human birth is worth longing for
on this vast earth!
Even human birth is worth longing for
on this vast earth!
Mmm... mm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
Hey Rakkamma, clap your hands!
Compose a tune in a brand new raga!
Female: Oh my king, set up a festive tent,
and string a fresh rose garland!
Look, just like you,
I am longing too, girl!
To come together as one,
this is the right time, girl!
