Count one, two, three,
and hold your heart in check!
Is our route wrong if we go down a one-way street?
Did you search and draw
a winning lottery ticket?
Why put a heavy Dindigul lock on your lips?
Smiling playfully
and rolling cowrie shells in game,
even if you turn the key, this heart will not open!
Sis se saira saira
Sisusu se saira saira
Sis se saira saira
Saira saira saira
Hey sis se saira saira
Sisusu se saira saira
Sis se saira saira
Saira saira saira
Count one, two, three,
and hold your heart in check!
Is our route wrong if we go down a one-way street?
You wild young boy,
who would ever dare question you?
An untamed storm,
who trapped it inside a churidar?
Even after the rain stops,
does the dripping from the tree branches stop?
A gentle drizzle keeps falling,
just let me get drenched with a smile!
Can anyone ever wrap
fire inside a sheet of paper?
Is there any rope here
to tie down one's wandering thoughts?
Hey sis se saira saira
Sisusu se saira saira
Sis se saira saira
Saira saira saira
Count one, two, three,
and hold your heart in check!
Is our route wrong if we go down a one-way street?
The matching of wedding garlands,
when is that going to happen for you?
Once the evening arrives,
you need a traditional oil lamp to light up the home!
To carry the wedding garland,
why such an eager longing right now?
Who belongs to whom is already written,
and that destiny will never change!
Whoever stands up against you,
you are the one who crushes them to dust!
Yet, hit by a single flower,
what magic made you fall?
Sis se saira saira
Sisusu se saira saira
Sis se saira saira
Saira saira saira
Hey sis se saira saira
Sisusu se saira saira
Sis se saira saira
Saira saira saira
