Cock-a-doodle, cock-a-doodle, cock-a-doodle-doo!
Cock-a-doodle, cock-a-doodle, cock-a-doodle-doo!
No food or water for three days straight,
Will the girl I love put a garland on me?
Hey, no food or water for three days straight,
Will the girl I love put a garland on me?
This hunger strike will not end, sir,
without wedding drums beating!
This protest will not stop, sir,
without tying the wedding knot!
No food or water for three days straight,
Will the girl I love put a garland on me?
This hunger strike will not end, sir,
without wedding drums beating!
This protest will not stop, sir,
without tying the wedding knot!
I am the poet Ambikapathi,
Female: And I am his lover Amaravathi!
Male: I am the poet Ambikapathi,
Female: And I am his lover Amaravathi!
The tragedy of us two falling in love—
any mother will tell you if you ask!
The son of poet Kamban and the king's blossom-like daughter,
never got to be united in marriage!
Her father ruined his daughter's life,
Female: a clueless fool who couldn't understand love!
Male: Don't take that sin upon yourself,
Female: Why carry this useless stubbornness and pride?
No food or water for three days straight,
Will the girl I love put a garland on me?
This hunger strike will not end, sir,
without wedding drums beating!
This protest will not stop, sir,
without tying the wedding knot!
I am the lover Devadas,
Female: And I am his beloved Parvathi!
What happened to those lovers in the end?
The liquor I drank will tell the story!
Female: A cruel soul tore them apart, and life faded away!
Not a single person dared to question it!
Ah, the world I saw was merely an illusion,
Female: Father, though I begged, I never received justice!
Male: Love is forever divine, oh sir,
Female: Don't destroy it; even Mother Earth cannot bear such cruelty!
No food or water for three days straight,
Will the girl I love put a garland on me?
This hunger strike will not end, sir,
without wedding drums beating!
This protest will not stop, sir,
without tying the wedding knot!
Hey, without tying the wedding knot!
Ha ha, without tying the wedding knot!
