Hey mango cuckoo,
warm winter morning sun!
He gave your address and sent me here,
that rascal Manmatha (god of love)!
Looking slyly out of the corners,
a hen asking me to step aside!
You're a hen dedicated
to laying eggs for the whole town!
With a heavy chain used for elephants,
your wedding knot should be tied!
The poor guy who ties the knot with you
will be finished on the wedding night!
Chorus: Oy oy...
A young hen who came of age
just last year!
If you just plant one kiss,
you'll be laying eggs!
Hey, chasing around and coming to bump heads,
a fair white hen!
This is a wild party hen
that ravages the rooster itself!
Shall I come closer, shall I shower kisses?
Kissing you over and over,
shall I come to take your breath away?
I've got the booze ready,

Good thing you didn't catch

I have no worries!
Hey, come to me completely,

To all these tired limbs,
come massage away the aches!

Featuring vibrant energetic choreography by actor Vijay and actress Meena, the song uses playful double entendres, culinary metaphors (spiced black chicken, sweet halwa), and urban humor to depict an exuberant, celebratory mood.
