Mermaid-like beauty, my uncle's daughter,
I want you for my bride, my darling!
If you just give me a sweet kiss,
I will be your lucky, handsome man right now!
Hey...
It just won't stay quiet,
my heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
It just won't stay quiet,
my heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
At the beauty of your dress,
at the beauty of your walk,
at the beauty of your waist,
at the beauty of your braided hair,
my heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
My heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
At the beauty of your body,
at the beauty of your neck,
at the beauty of your face,
at the beauty of your smile,
as you sway and shake,
and shine so bright...
my heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
My heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
Hey girl...
it just won't stay quiet!
My heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
Hey... hey hey hey hey hey...
When I look at your front beauty,
I stand holding my breath, girl!
You fan a breeze with the end of your saree,
my sassy girl,
talking to me with those intoxicating eyes!
Hey girl...
When I look at your front beauty,
I stand holding my breath, girl!
You fan a breeze with the end of your saree,
my sassy girl,
talking to me with those intoxicating eyes!
There is no blame if we tie the knot,
there is no wrong if I touch you,
I am a prize Jallikattu (bull-taming sport) bull myself,
and on my horns,
to scoop you up and carry you away,
my heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
My heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
Hey girl...
it just won't stay quiet!
My heart...
it just won't stay quiet... hey!
Draping a traditional Kandangi saree... ah... ah...
wrapping it tight,
rolling both your teasing eyes,
you who walk past the riverside boat,
after catching a side glance at you,
it just won't stay quiet!
My heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
Girl born to my aunt,
rosy, glowing girl,
you are supposed to yield when pushed around,
but if you dare to stand bold,
I will instantly bow down and surrender to you, girl!
Hey girl,
girl born to my aunt,
rosy, glowing girl,
you are supposed to yield when pushed around,
but if you dare to stand bold,
I will instantly bow down and surrender to you, girl!
By the bank of that river,
in the sweet scent of Avaram flowers,
to cuddle and whisper sweet things with you,
to look at all of you,
to take you in inch by inch,
just to gaze at you,
my heart...
it just won't stay quiet!
My heart...
it just won't stay quiet, hoy!
It just won't stay quiet,
my heart...
it just won't stay quiet... hey!
...
Drop the beat, buddy!
...
It just won't stay quiet...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Summa is an energetic folk song performed and composed by Anthony Daasan. The lyrics express the unrestrained infatuation and excitement of a young man for his cross-cousin. Overwhelmed by her appearance, graceful walk, smile, and intoxicating eyes, his heart simply refuses to remain calm or quiet ('summa kedakka maattengu'). He playfully woos her, boasting about his masculine strength while expressing a willingness to yield completely if she shows courage and affection. Set against traditional rural imagery like riverbanks, avaram blossoms, and Kandangi sarees, the song vividly captures the exuberance of rural romance and flirtatious longing.
