Themaangani
Like a peanut field in bloom,
my whole heart is blossoming, girl.
Every breeze that blows
covers me in your sweet scent, girl.
My sweet mango,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Like a peanut field in bloom,
my whole heart is blossoming, girl.
Every breeze that blows
covers me in your sweet scent, girl.
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Like sweet Malgova mango juice,
thoughts of you well up within me, girl.
Your youthful charm makes my longing
even more beautiful, girl.
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Both your tender-mango eyes,
both your tender-mango eyes
speak so lovingly and playfully, girl.
I came clinging like a burr,
my sweet little fighter!
Now you are bound deep inside my heart,
united with me like a single soul,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango!
Haan...
Even an oil-press bull
set out to see the world, they say.
With no way to look around,
it stood blankly like a fool, they say.
Helping one another out,
just for a cooked meal of rice,
leaving our own hometown behind,
we came here as wage laborers.
Even if clouds hide it... ah...
Even if clouds hide it,
the moonlight will surely shine through.
To crush all our sorrows into dust,
time will walk beside us.
"Every place is our hometown,"
listen to what our ancient poet Kaniyan said!
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango, sweet mango,
Sweet mango!
