Girl with pretty goat eyes,
Beauty with teeth white as butter,
She marched like an army into our town!
A stunning beauty never seen before,
A charming girl fresh like wild jasmine,
She spread her hood like a snake inside my heart!
Girl with pretty goat eyes,
Beauty with teeth white as butter,
She marched like an army into our town!
A stunning beauty never seen before,
A charming girl fresh like wild jasmine,
She spread her hood like a snake inside my heart!
Without speaking a word,
She tormented me.
Without throwing a knife,
She gave me so many wounds.
She tormented me,
She gave me so many wounds.
She tormented me,
She gave me so many wounds.
Oho-oo oo oo oo
Oho oo oo
Oho-oo oo oo oo
Oho oo oo
She is not just a girl,
She is a pot of roses!
Without blinking my eyes,
I watch and admire her,
Like a beautiful romantic film.
Hey, it is no lie,
She is like a temple chariot!
In front of a single glance of hers,
What power do caste and religion have?
Oh, across cities and towns,
A beauty never known before,
She shows it off in style!
With my longing heart packed housefull,
I have become a circus myself!
Girl with pretty goat eyes,
Beauty with teeth white as butter,
Girl with pretty goat eyes,
Beauty with teeth white as butter,
She marched like an army into our town!
A stunning beauty never seen before,
A charming girl fresh like wild jasmine,
She spread her hood like a snake inside my heart!
Thanane thana ne naanaa naa
Thanane thana ne naanaa naa
Thaanaa naa thaananaa oo hoo
Thaanaa naa thaananaa oo hoo
Hoo oo oo ho ooo
Hoo oo oo ho ooo
The entire district
Has its eyes on her!
When she comes and stands before me,
I search for myself, wondering where I vanished.
Mmm, to everyone she is the heroine!
Even if in every nook and corner,
Villains stand in our way,
I will stand my ground and protect our love!
Oh, with the town and streets
Completely ignored,
Who would turn and look at anyone else?
Bewitched by her coy smile,
I ended up completely lost!
Girl with pretty goat eyes,
Beauty with teeth white as butter,
She marched like an army into our town!
A stunning beauty never seen before,
A charming girl fresh like wild jasmine,
She spread her hood like a snake inside my heart!
Without speaking a word,
She tormented me.
Without throwing a knife,
She gave me so many wounds.
She tormented me,
She gave me so many wounds.
She tormented me,
She gave me so many wounds... ah...
