You enchanting green parrot,
why did you make me run in circles and just watch?
Just because I asked for a single kiss,
why did you blush and shy away?
My dear, my dear, I thought of you as my own,
and I kept you hidden deep within my soul.
Hey my dear, I thought of you as my own,
and it is you I kept hidden deep within my life.
You enchanting green parrot,
why did you make me run in circles and just watch?
Just because I asked for a single kiss,
why did you blush and shy away?
Like sweet jaggery made
from pure sugarcane juice,
where did you hide my heart?
Tell me, my sweet darling!
I saw your face, my love,
just yesterday,
and my heart longed, my gentle flower,
only to unite with you.
Girl, knowing my heart so well,
do not act like you do not understand.
In your words and in your gaze,
do not erupt like a volcano!
My dear, my dear, I thought of you as my own,
and I kept you hidden deep within my soul.
Thana naa naa naa
Thanna nana naa naa
Thana naa naa naa
