Hey, my fair beauty!
Don't you like me?
When you walk past me,
Oh, are you casting a spell on me?
With your twin-braided hair,
You capture me and walk away!
Like a bindi on your forehead,
You stick me to yourself.
But when I come close,
Why do you pull away, girl?
Like a bindi on your forehead,
You stick me to yourself.
But when I come close,
Why do you pull away, girl?
Hey, my fair beauty!
Don't you like me?
Glowing with fairy lights,
Are you an angel?
Looking at you, like a milky moon,
Am I losing my senses?
A flower blooming in the mud,
Is it a lotus blossom?
Inside the drape of your half-saree,
Am I drowning?
Like sweet Jigarthanda,
Are you someone to be savored?
Like a piece of Kamarkatt candy,
I am crumbling because of you.
On your sweet rava-laddu cheek,
Can I just touch a tiny bit?
Just give me your word, girl,
Shall I bring you a bridal silk saree?
On your sweet rava-laddu cheek,
Can I just touch a tiny bit?
Just give me your word, girl,
Shall I bring you a bridal silk saree?
Hey, my fair beauty!
Don't you like me?
You are the night show
In the tent cinema!
I'll take you to the matinee show,
Come along with me!
Boiling over like heated milk,
You chatterbox!
I'm running out of breath,
Breathe into me and go!
Your silk cloth blouse
Keeps you locked away and hidden.
The edge of your lips is sweet as a carrot,
Can I take a gentle bite?
You, smooth as Oothukkuli butter,
Shall I scoop you into my palms?
All the kisses you gave me,
Shall I count and tell them one by one?
Hey, my fair beauty!
Don't you like me?
When you walk past me,
Oh, are you casting a spell on me?
