Along the edge of the southern Pandya land,
in my beloved's garden...
on an evening in the month of Thai,
the fragrance of flowers sweeps one away!
Day after day,
with a buzzing sound, this beetle
cries, "Kisses, kisses!"
as it circles around the flower.
You are the butterfly circling around,
my sweetheart, oh my sweetheart!
Along the edge of the southern Pandya land,
in your sweetheart's garden...
on an evening in the month of Thai,
the fragrance of flowers sweeps one away!
Day after day,
with a buzzing sound, this beetle
cries, "Kisses, kisses!"
as it circles around the flower.
I am indeed the butterfly circling around,
yes, my girl, come to me!
While taking a turmeric bath,
in so many places, I saw marks!
Where? Show me!
Mmm... take your hands away!
While taking a turmeric bath,
in so many places, I saw marks!
I have slipped right into your body,
and merged right into your soul!
You sweet-talk and enchant me,
I tremble just looking at you, go away, mister!
My veins are throbbing with passion, come to me, girl!
Along the edge of the southern Pandya land,
in your sweetheart's garden...
on an evening in the month of Thai,
the fragrance of flowers sweeps one away!
Day after day,
with a buzzing sound, this beetle
cries, "Kisses, kisses!"
as it circles around the flower.
I am indeed the butterfly circling around,
yes, my girl, come to me!
I won't come, go away!
My deer, my fragrant marjoram,
my honey, my ear of millet,
why do you even need a half-saree?
What was that? What was that? What did you say?
Say that once more!
My deer, my fragrant marjoram,
my honey, my ear of millet,
why do you even need a half-saree?
The way you look and enjoy me,
I caught you doing it...
Mmhmm...
Sensing your craving,
I wrapped myself up tight!
You are tormenting me so, you, you, you...
I am spreading a silk mat, come, oh come!
I am here at your pleasure, have your fun!
Along the edge of the southern Pandya land,
in my beloved's garden...
on an evening in the month of Thai,
the fragrance of flowers sweeps one away!
Day after day,
with a buzzing sound, this beetle
cries, "Kisses, kisses!"
as it circles around the flower.
You are the butterfly circling around,
my sweetheart, oh my sweetheart!
Yes, indeed...!
