Thothapuram, hey!
Our hometown!
Thothapuram, hey hey hey!
Our hometown!
Thothapuram, hey hey hey!
Our hometown!
Thothapuram!
Our hometown!
Every single day,
it is Deepavali (festival of lights)...
A flower offering to your lovely eyes...
Every single day,
it is Deepavali...
A flower offering to your lovely eyes...
This is Thothapuram!
Touch me, and I am sweet sugar!
For the bridegroom who has arrived,
look at the feast waiting for you, hoy!
This is Thothapuram!
Touch me, and I am sweet sugar!
For the bridegroom who has arrived,
look at the feast waiting for you, hoy!
Do you want country chicken?
Or do you want wild fowl?
There is a whole poultry farm right here, uncle!
If you go back to your hometown,
it is just plain everyday food, girl!
We have entered your inner chambers,
what will you give if we tease you?
For the fun and delight
at the mother-in-law's house,
we give you a full guarantee!
Every single day,
it is Deepavali...
A flower offering to your lovely eyes...
Every single day,
it is Deepavali...
A flower offering to your lovely eyes...
Ohhh oh oh oh!
Deepavali, every day is Deepavali, Deepavali!
Shoot, shoot, shoot it well!
Shoot crossing all limits...
Hey, dance, dance, playful dancer!
Sing in pure joy and fun!
This is Kanyakumari, terribly eager to marry...
This is pure Ongole breed, hey, you lazy fellow...
Ohhhhhh...
Ohh oh oh oh oh...
He has arrived, arrived, arrived,
our respected master!
Seeing her height and beauty, he will gift
a Benz car!
He has arrived, arrived, arrived,
our respected master!
One kind of pleasure when standing,
and another kind of pleasure when leaning down...
You give pleasure in so many ways,
what else will you give?
We will crack your knuckles and relieve your aches,
we will clean the dirt under your nails,
you will lie there lost in a daze,
and clear up only the next day!
Crisp and twirled,
this fine stuff has real kick!
Between you and me,
there is an old score to settle... yes, there is!
The folded betel leaf that was given,
look, it barely turned your lips red...
The betel leaf I chewed and offer you,
will turn deep red, so have this!
Every single day,
it is Deepavali, hoy!
This is Thothapuram!
Touch me, and I am sweet sugar!
For the bridegroom who has arrived,
look at the feast waiting for you, hoy!
Hey hey hey hey!
Hey hey hehe!
You are the one, dear groom, dear groom!
You are the one, dear groom, dear groom!
You are the one!
...
You are the one...
Hunger is of two kinds,
and girl, I feel both!
Will you satisfy both,
and take me to heaven?
Your moustache is so small,
yet your desire is so big!
Ah, even if a mustard seed is tiny,
it never loses its spice!
Crisp and twirled,
this fine stuff has real kick!
Between you and me,
there is an old score to settle!
Hey girl with the slender waist,
why such a great craving?
This is an orchard where fruits
grow without any seeds!
Every single day,
it is Deepavali, ohhhh...
This is Thothapuram!
Touch me, and I am sweet sugar!
For the bridegroom who has arrived,
look at the feast waiting for you, hoy!
This is Thothapuram!
Touch me, and I am sweet sugar!
For the bridegroom who has arrived,
look at the feast waiting for you, hoy!
Do you want country chicken?
Or do you want wild fowl?
There is a whole poultry farm right here, uncle!
If you go back to your hometown,
it is just plain everyday food, girl!
We have entered your inner chambers,
what will you give if we tease you?
For the fun and delight
at the mother-in-law's house,
we give you a full guarantee!
Every single day,
it is Deepavali... hooo...
