Up on the mountain peak,
Two green parrots tumble in an embrace, girl!
In the pouring rain,
They touch and embrace the round moon!
Honey from the Kochi hills
Dripped down and soaked the nest!
Even after my sweetheart drank his fill,
There is still some left in the nest!
Up on the mountain peak,
Two green parrots tumble in an embrace, girl!
In the pouring rain,
They touch and embrace the round moon!
The bond that lay like barren land
Has sprouted fresh green shoots now!
For the riddle my husband posed,
An answer has been found!
The bond that lay like barren land
Has sprouted fresh green shoots now!
For the riddle my husband posed,
An answer has been found!
The green cloth of my blouse,
When my sweetheart reached out and grabbed it,
Tore right open, girl,
And my black beauty mark was revealed!
Hoy, up on the mountain peak,
Two green parrots tumble in an embrace, girl!
In the pouring rain,
They touch and embrace the round moon!
Honey from the Kochi hills
Dripped down and soaked the nest!
Even after my sweetheart drank his fill,
There is still some left in the nest!
Up on the mountain peak,
Two green parrots tumble in an embrace, girl!
In the pouring rain,
They touch and embrace the round moon!
...
As soon as the tender buds formed,
Rain lashed down on the cotton field!
When the cotton pods burst open,
The cotton plant bowed its head!
As soon as the tender buds formed,
Rain lashed down on the cotton field!
When the cotton pods burst open,
The cotton plant bowed its head!
Draped in a silk saree,
As my aunt's daughter stepped gracefully by,
My self-control broke,
And my heart was completely lost... hoy!
