Aa... aa... aa... ahaan!
Yey... yey... aaha... aa... aa... aa... aaha...
The leaping bull,
the moment it saw this golden girl,
ah, both its horns lowered,
and it lunged at me in a trance!
Ah, the leaping bull,
the moment it saw this golden girl,
ah, both its horns lowered,
and it lunged at me in a trance!
Oh mother! Across eight hundred village markets,
and in all the bull-taming fights,
I have never seen anything like this,
nor ever caught one by throwing a cloth over it!
...
Instead, I will slap my shoulders with pride
and master this Jallikattu (bull-taming arena)!
Let the wild bulls run free,
and tether a heifer like you!
A flower is a flower, like the tamarind blossom,
and for Ponnuthaayi, it is the fragrant screw-pine flower!
A raw fruit is a raw fruit, like the wild fig,
and the gooseberry tasted after drinking rice porridge!
Ah, the leaping bull,
the moment it saw this golden girl,
ah, both its horns lowered,
and it lunged at me in a trance!
Aa ha...
Male: Aa ha...
Female: Aa ha...
Male: Aa ha...
Ye... he... he... ha...
I am looking pretty,
and I stepped right in here!
All of this is new to me,
yet I'm really taking a liking to you, mister! Ha!
I am looking pretty,
and I stepped right in here!
All of this is new to me,
yet I'm really taking a liking to you, mister! Ha!
In the rustic countryside,
you were a calf kept tied up;
you got caught coming over here,
and I came searching for you with desire!
Hey, in the rustic countryside,
you were a calf kept tied up;
you got caught coming over here,
and I came searching for you with desire!
Run quickly and grind the red chillies,
and cook nine whole sacks of rice!
Dance and sing while pounding the grain,
and cook up a feast of fresh white rice!
The leaping bull,
the moment it saw this golden girl,
ah, both its horns lowered,
and it lunged at me in a trance!
That is right, my sweet parrot,
I have got a firm grip now!
Girl, you have fallen right into my hands,
and I won't let you go anymore... hey!
There are young girls all over this town,
and a hundred heaps of pure gold too;
what desire do you have in me,
why does this moustached man long for me so?
I am the one who will bring the betel leaves to fix our wedding, girl!
I am the one who will pay the bride-price too!
Ah... you made me wait so long,
but true love has finally arrived, my girl!
The leaping bull,
the moment it saw this golden girl,
ah, both its horns lowered,
and it lunged at me in a trance!
