Why this hesitation, my darling?
Am I some naive girl who knows nothing?
Why this hesitation, my darling?
Am I some naive girl who knows nothing?
Where has all your brave talk gone?
It all ended yesterday!
You are just a puppet in my hands, so come on!
Why this hesitation, my darling?
Am I some naive girl who knows nothing?
The pleasure I enjoyed without you knowing
Was not just to claim my rights over you.
The pleasure I enjoyed without you knowing
Was not just to claim my rights over you.
I made a clever plan to win you over,
Victory is on my side, what else is there to say?
I made a clever plan to win you over,
Victory is on my side, what else is there to say?
Why this hesitation, my darling?
Am I some naive girl who knows nothing?
Hey you, pickpocket!
The police will arrest you, you'll see!
If someone steals money,
They can lock them in handcuffs.
But I have stolen your love!
Love is a theft no law can ever stop!
This passion will not rest without holding each other!
Why this celebration, my dear?
I know all about you, girl!
Why this celebration, my dear?
I know all about you, girl!
Modesty is what a woman needs,
The right time will speak for itself.
You are the puppet in my hands!
Why this celebration, my dear?
I know all about you, girl!
With the thali (sacred wedding thread) swinging like a golden swing on your chest,
You must first become my wife.
With the thali (sacred wedding thread) swinging like a golden swing on your chest,
You must first become my wife.
Lullabies come only after you become a good mother,
Lullabies come only after you become a good mother.
A loving married life is your only true victory!
A loving married life is your only true victory!
Why this celebration, my dear?
I know all about you, girl!
Modesty is what a woman needs,
The right time will speak for itself.
You are the puppet in my hands!
La la la, la la la la, ha ha!
La la la, la la la la, la la la la!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This playful duet features a clever back-and-forth banter between the lead lovers. The female character mockingly teases the man about his sudden shyness and lack of swagger, declaring her victory in stealing his heart and capturing his love like a legal theft. She playfully claims supremacy in their romantic game, calling him her puppet.
