Kan kan bitkond nodtheera
Putta putta gownu thottare
Hinde hinde beeltheera
When we wear a saree, you stare at us
When we wear short frocks, you stare at us
Seere alla gounu alla
Utta batte lenaithe

Neither the Saree nor the frock
It is not in the dressing which matters
It is all in your eyes

If we’re fair in complexion
One just goes pushing through us
If we’re dark in complexion
We get teased around

If we’re chubby enough, one comments telling we’re cute
If we’re lean, one feels crazy about us

It is not about the physique
If asked to meet alone

Neither the goodness nor the badness
All of you come under one
When the lights go off
