Hey... yehey... hey...
Hey... yeah... hey... hey...
Hey, bandit woman of the ash forest,
A spotless, fair-skinned beauty,
Come on, come for playful romance, hey!
Chorus: Come on, hey!
Hey kukku, hey kukku yeah...
Like the carved cliff of Kolli Hills,
Like a rock scorching in the burning sun,
Come on, reach the peak, hey!
Chorus: Come on, hey!
Hey kukku, hey kukku yeah...
Hey, stunning beauty of Baghdad,
With eyes as sharp as broadswords,
Shall I set you on fire and watch, hey?
Hey, draped in tiger skin,
He has arrived like a tempest,
To the eyes of everyone watching, hey...
Hey, ash forest...
Bandit woman of the ash forest,
A spotless, fair-skinned beauty,
Come on, come for playful romance, hey!
...
Look here, both these eyes
Are intoxicating fine liquor,
Drink in as much as you want, hey!
Chorus: Hey, take it!
Look here, both these shoulders
Are an apple orchard of Cherrapunji,
Pluck whatever you want, hey!
Chorus: ...
Look here, this neck
Is a tender golden banana shoot,
Come, tear into it and feast, hey!
Look here, this waist
Is the blazing fire of a brick kiln,
Touch it and burn to ashes, hey!
Ash forest...
Bandit woman of the ash forest,
A spotless, fair-skinned beauty,
Come on, come for playful romance, hey!
...
Just touch me with
A single little finger,
And your weight will jump by a kilo, friend!
Chorus: Yeah, that's right, friend!
Just flick
A single matchstick at me,
And I'll instantly burst into flames, hey!
Chorus: Oh my, hey!
If you toss
Just a single flower at me,
Sweet nectar will overflow from it, hey!
If you just once
Crash into me,
For eight lifetimes,
You will find heavenly bliss, hey!
Hey, bandit woman of the ash forest,
A spotless, fair-skinned beauty,
Come on, come for playful romance, hey!
Chorus: Come on, hey!
Hey kukku, hey kukku yeah...
Like the carved cliff of Kolli Hills,
Like a rock scorching in the burning sun,
Come on, reach the peak, hey!
Chorus: Come on, hey!
Hey kukku, hey kukku yeah...
