Inside the haystack,
some mischief is going on!
Chorus: A girl who has come of age
is ruining her father's name!
The world has truly gone bad;
what more is there to say?
If people start to gossip,
even Lord Rama isn't blameless!
Don't you know this? Haven't you realized it?
Inside the haystack,
some mischief is going on!
A girl who has come of age
is ruining her father's name... hoy!
Thagida thagida thaam, thagida thagida thaam
Thagida thagida thaam, thagida thagida thaam
It is the perfect time for love,
and the body is growing warm!
Female: This colourful parrot's heart is trembling,
and now within the haystack,
sweet honey begins to flow.
Male: Breathe softly, my girl,
or the hay will catch fire from that warm breath!
Ah, inside the haystack,
we must stir up some mischief!
Until the morning arrives,
we must live like man and wife!
Why have fear? Why feel shy?
Father isn't here, Mother isn't here,
there is nobody around us!
A kiss is not a crime!
Don't you know this? Haven't you realized it?
Ah, inside the haystack,
we must stir up some mischief!
Until the morning arrives,
we must live like man and wife!
Vithala Vithala Vithala Ranga!
Vithala Vithala Vithala doy!
Vithala Vithala Vithala Ranga!
Vithala Vithala Vithala doy!
As soon as your little finger touches me, my love,
my golden body gets goosebumps, yes it does!
Male: Should you be scared of such small things?
Come, I will teach you everything else!
Female: Shall I learn the secrets of lovemaking?
Ah, but will my shyness ever leave me?
Ah, inside the haystack,
we must stir up some mischief!
Until the morning arrives,
we must live like man and wife!
Why have fear? Why feel shy?
Father isn't here, Mother isn't here,
there is nobody around us!
A kiss is not a crime!
Don't you know this? Haven't you realized it?
