Para Para ParupenneSoar high, soar high, my lovely girl.
Chanthakkari ChembenneThe copper-skinned belle of the market.
Vadakarayile NaathunekkalCompared to the sisters-in-law of Vadakara,
Neeyalledi KenkemiAren’t you the smartest one of all?
Mudiyambo Muttin VareWith hair that flows all the way to your knees,
Maadidum MeyyalleYou’ve such a gracefully swaying body, don’t you?
Maruthinkal MoraanediA face that’s radiant like the full moon,
Kannil TheeyalleWith a fiery spark in your eyes, isn’t there?
