You need this girl
She is heaven itself
I am the one who will sway
And arrive like a chariot everyday
You need this girl
She is heaven itself
Hey..... Aaa..aaa ....aaa
Aha ha ha ha ha
Hehe hehe he he
Tarat tarat tarat taratta
Tarat tarat tarattara
O beauty, fresh flower
Hey girl, young parrot
Are your lips sweet wine?
Is your face a full moon?
I will touch you, I will touch you
I will come and give myself to you
If you frown, your face loses its charm
If you smile, pleasure will come
As our bodies tremble all over
Ah, to explore all kinds of pleasure
To offer and give... oh deer...
I am the hunter here...
It is the day to lay the trap...
Now is the moment sins turn to dust... ha
Rapa parappa rapapa ha ha ha ha
Rarra taraare tararrra..
Thagu thagu thigu
Is this right? Is this fair?
Will loneliness ever bring joy?
I will touch you with my lips
I will pluck the fruit of youth
If you strike me, I will hug you
If you tremble, I will be by your side
O moon who burns like fire
Just smile for me once
Why feel shy? Come close and get to know me
Aaaa...
Oh dear, darling girl, tell me
To pull close and embrace
Thattha reettha thanu
Thatheem theem thajanu
Thakida thom thakida thatheem thom
Thattha reettha thanu
Thatheem theem thajanu
Thakida thom thakida thatheem thom

Oh deer... the hunter here
Is me... it is the day to lay the trap
From now on, sins... ha..ha..ha
Will turn into dust
Thaa thoo thaa thoo thaadhoo thagathootha
Oh deer... tha raari thararee hoy hoy
Thaaraa tharar raa ra pappaa.. ha
