Vella bambaram mella suthuthae
Kalla paarvathaan kanna kuthuthae
Makku pombala makku pombala
Manasa robbery senjaalae
Chikku chikku nu vanthu pesura
Sirpam pola thaan kai kaalae
Na valanju paakuren
Nelinju paakuren
Melaga kadicha thaangathae
Urundu nikuren..
Pirandu nikuren
Alava elacha thekaaga
En maamavae ne mayakaathae
Ada ithuthaan saakaaga
Nangu nangu nu nenju kuthura
Renga raatina kannaalae
Longu longu nu naanum suthuren
Vekkam vittu vaa pinnaalae

Alava elacha thekathae

Ada ithuthaan saakaaga
A white spinning top spins slowly
A sly glance pierces my eyes
Foolish girl, foolish girl
She robbed my heart
She comes and talks so stylishly
Her hands and legs are like a sculpted statue
I bend and look
I twist and look
Biting a chili is unbearable
I roll around and stand...
I toss and turn and stand
Like finely sculpted teak wood
My uncle, do not charm me
Ah, taking this as an excuse
You pound heavily on my heart
With eyes like a giant wheel
I am wandering far and wide too
Shed your shyness and follow me
Nennu nennurae nennu nennurae
Nennu nennurae nennarae
Nennu nennurae nennu nennurae
Nennu nennurae nennarae
Nennu nennurae nennu nennurae
Nennu nennurae nennu nennurae
While combing my hair
While applying vermilion
Fearing that you might come by
My heart falters
I was already in love
I brought people along
Constantly asking for advice
My heart gets excited
All night long, uncle
Just thinking of you
Sleep overcomes me in the morning
My precious eyes blur
Did your father beget you
Just to get trapped with me?
Hey rooster, come and guard me..aaa..
Aaa…aaa…aa.a….
Nennu nennurae nennu nennurae
Nennu nennurae nennarae
Nennu nennurae nennu nennurae
Nennu nennurae nennarae
Hei hei hei hei
......................
I grew a magnificent mustache
I set my eyes on your saree
Is your mummy ready
To become a mother-in-law?
I drew dots for the rangoli pattern
I pushed away my anger
God Himself has granted the boon
Is my question right?
Into a family man
Make me change, girl!
All this bachelor life
Has become a torture, girl
Hey, shall I take the horoscope
And check the auspicious date?
Let's happily escape, come on..aa
Aaaa…aaa…aaaa…aaa…
You pound heavily on my heart
With eyes like a giant wheel
I am wandering far and wide too
Shed your shyness and follow me
Nennu nennurae nennu nennurae
Nennu nennurae nennarae
Nennu nennurae nennu nennurae
Nennu nennurae nennarae
A white spinning top spins slowly
A sly glance pierces my eyes
Foolish girl, foolish girl
She robbed my heart
She comes and talks so stylishly
Her hands and legs are like a sculpted statue
I bend and look
I twist and look
Biting a chili is unbearable
I roll around and stand...
I toss and turn and stand
O slim body carved like teak wood
My uncle, do not charm me
Ah, taking this as an excuse
