Come, come, my Mysuru jasmine!
My sweet girl of joy!
Aha... you are my loving cuckoo!
You have the golden glow of the evening sun!
You look just like a green parrot...
Your smile sparkles like white rice...
Hey, come on, three-hundred millie!
You have no match anywhere!
Aha, you are a big black raven!
Your skin is as dark as charcoal!
You look just like Bhadrakali (fierce goddess)...
You laugh just like villains in movies!
Tell me what else, my darling!
Pluck this jasmine, my king!
My heart leaps as you pinch and tease!
You are a wicked, clever rogue!
Don't stick so close, don't rub against me!
Aha... ha... aha... ha...
Girl, you laugh like the sweet chime of anklets!
Are your eyes from the family of deer?
Girl, your laughter roars like thunder!
Are your eyes from the family of owls?
Don't praise me so much!
My young heart cannot bear it!
Never leave my side, ever!
Hey, you are such a quarrelsome girl!
With hair tied like a rat's tail!
Come play with me, darling!
Hey, come on, three-hundred millie!
You have no match anywhere!
Aha, you are a big black raven!
Your skin is as dark as charcoal!
You look just like Bhadrakali (fierce goddess)...
You laugh just like villains in movies!
I saw hair like dark rain clouds!
Girl, don't you know you are a golden moon?
I saw hair that looks like a pot of tar!
Girl, don't you get it, you are a ghost?
Darling, keep praising me!
Pamper and shower me with love!
Enough, stop your song!
Hey graceful girl with a parrot-like nose!
My pretty girl with a runny nose!
Come, let's be close, darling!
Go away, you three-hundred millie!
You have no sense at all!
Aha... there isn't a young girl...
...who wouldn't get scared seeing you!
Shall I sing of your beauty?
Or should I run and hide seeing you?
Hey, come on, three-hundred millie!
You have no match anywhere!
Aha, you are a big black raven!
Your skin is as dark as charcoal!
You look just like Bhadrakali (fierce goddess)...
You laugh just like villains in movies!
Tell me what else, my darling!
Pluck this jasmine, my king!
My heart leaps as you pinch and tease!
You are a wicked, clever rogue!
Don't stick so close, don't rub against me!
Aha... ha... aha... ha...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This playful duet features humorous banter between a man and a woman who poke fun at each other's appearance and quirks while expressing their underlying affection. The hero praises the heroine using traditional romantic metaphors (like jasmine, parrot, and rain clouds), while she hilariously responds by comparing his dark complexion to charcoal and crows, teasing his drinking habits, and comparing his hair to a tar pot.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Uvamaani (Simile)

Pachchai kili polae irukkirae nee….

Comparing the heroine's smile and green hue to raw rice and a green parrot ('Pachchai kili polae', 'Pachcharisi polae').

Contrast / Irony

Aahaa andangkaakaa needhaandi

The male lead praises her beauty using elevated classical similes, while the female lead parodies these praises with comical insult metaphors ('andangkaakaa', 'attakkari', 'thaarchatti').

Anaphora / Repetition

Ada vaa vaa munnooru millayae

Repetition of words like 'Vaa vaa' and 'killa killa' to add rhythmic emphasis and musical tempo.

Trivia
