A coin has been paid and an order has been placed,
to make up and sing a song about a tight-fitting blouse!
If anyone wishes to hear a reply song,
I say, toss in some money and ask, and I
will set a tune and sing!
A saucy girl, a pretty gypsy girl,
swaying and flaunting like soft, fluttering cotton,
came chasing after a young lad!
She sized up my king with her eyes,
and made him follow right behind her!
Oh my sweet darling, my handsome king,
am I just a girl who knows nothing of the world?
I am coming along to unite with you as one.
Measuring me with your eyes, wasn't it you
who made me follow behind you?
A saucy girl, a pretty gypsy girl,
swaying and flaunting like soft, fluttering cotton,
came chasing after a young lad!
She sized me up with her eyes, my queen,
and made me follow right behind her!
Oh my sweet darling, my handsome king,
am I just a girl who knows nothing of the world?
Oh handsome one, my dear king,
this rose blossomed by our riverbank!
Male: A river of milk, this is sweet palm nectar;
a girl of sweet sixteen has come to satisfy my hunger!
Is your mouth watering?
Is honey welling up in your heart?
Won't the time come for us to be close together?
Male: Oh sweet sugarcane untouched by wild elephants!
Oh fresh flower bud unplucked by the breeze!
Oh my sweet darling, my handsome king,
am I just a girl who knows nothing of the world?
I am coming along to unite with you as one.
Male: She sized me up with her eyes, my queen,
and made me follow right behind her!
A saucy girl, a pretty gypsy girl,
swaying and flaunting like soft, fluttering cotton,
As a soul that lives only for you,
I will stay close and joined with you in love.
Female: You are one half, and I am the other half;
won't this message reach your ears?
Can this ever be impossible? Goddess Mariamma will protect us!
Two good hearts have placed all their trust in her.
Female: The blessings we asked for will surely come to us,
and the seeds we sowed will blossom into flowers!
A saucy girl, a pretty gypsy girl,
swaying and flaunting like soft, fluttering cotton,
came chasing after a young lad!
Female: Measuring me with your eyes, wasn't it you
who made me follow behind you?
A saucy girl, a pretty gypsy girl,
swaying and flaunting like soft, fluttering cotton,
came chasing after a young lad!
