Aaththi aaththi raasaththiyae
Engae porae yaemaththiyae
Madurai veeran kanni idhu
Vaigai aaththu thanni idhu
Paruppu ingae vegaathadi
Pasappu velai aagaathadi
Udhattai yaen adikkadi kadikkirae
Mogaththilae mullaiyaen vedhaikkirae
Aaththi aaththi……
Aaththi aaththi raasaththiyae
Engae porae yaemaththiyae
Madurai veeran kanni idhu
Vaigai aaththu thanni idhu
Nammooru then marutha en chellakutti
Neethaandi naattiya kurutha
Haei thullatha vaa arugae nee sammathichaa
Tholodu maalaiyai tharuvaen
Yaei chinna sambaa naaththu
Un saettaiyellaam maaththu
Kaamadevan kooththu
Naan kaatta poraen paaththu
Adi sundhari kodi munthiri
Idhu ennadi vetkkam….
Aaththi aaththi……
Aaththi aaththi raasaththiyae
Engae porae yaemaththiyae
Madurai veeran kanni idhu
Vaigai aaththu thanni idhu
Hae haa ahaa
Kannaatti kai pudichche poopanthida
Kannaala naalu ippa kurippen
Paavaada poopparippaen en nenjinikka
Panneerai naan alli thelippaen
Maerkku maasi veedhi veedhiyengum jothi
Thaali kattum thedhi
Solla poraen saethi
Navaaraththiri pala raaththiri sivaraaththiri yammoi
Aaththi aaththi……
Aaththi aaththi raasaththiyae
Engae porae yaemaththiyae
Madurai veeran kanni idhu
Vaigai aaththu thanni idhu
Aalaana penmayilae en kitta vanthu
Aadendi nee konjam oyilae
Thanjavur nel vayalae
Un nenjilittu thaalaattu paadeandi kuyilae
Orakkannil paaththaa
Naan oththukittaen aaththaa
Nenjil ennai saerththaa
En thaagamellaam theerththaa
Soodearuthu suruthu yaeruthu thadumaaruthu vaadi
Aaththi aaththi……

Oh my, oh my, little princess!
Where are you going after tricking me?
This is a trap set by the warrior of Madurai!
This is the pure water of the Vaigai river!
Your clever games won't work here, girl!
Sweet talk and fake excuses won't help you!
Why do you keep biting your lip like that?
Why scatter sharp thorns across your angry face?
Oh my, oh my...
Oh my, oh my, little princess!
Where are you going after tricking me?
This is a trap set by the warrior of Madurai!
This is the pure water of the Vaigai river!
Our hometown is southern Madurai, my sweetheart,
and you are a spirited dancing filly!
Hey, don't dodge away, come close; if you agree,
I will place a garland on your shoulders!
Hey, tender samba paddy sprout,
put an end to all your mischief!
The playful dance of the God of Love,
I am going to show you now, just watch!
Hey beauty, sweet as clustered grapes,
why are you suddenly feeling shy...?
Oh my, oh my...
Oh my, oh my, little princess!
Where are you going after tricking me?
This is a trap set by the warrior of Madurai!
This is the pure water of the Vaigai river!
Hey ha aha!
Winking at you and holding your hand under a canopy of flowers,
I will fix our wedding date right away!
I will pluck flowers from your skirt to sweeten my heart,
and scoop up rosewater to sprinkle it all over!
Across West Masi Street, festive lights will glow everywhere,
and on the date to tie the sacred wedding knot,
I will announce the joyous news!
Navaratri, countless sweet nights, and Shivaratri, oh my!
Oh my, oh my...
Oh my, oh my, little princess!
Where are you going after tricking me?
This is a trap set by the warrior of Madurai!
This is the pure water of the Vaigai river!
My blooming peahen, come close to me,
and dance for me with all your style!
Lush as a Thanjavur paddy field,
hold me to your chest and sing a lullaby, my sweet cuckoo!
If you glance at me from the corner of your eye,
I will surrender to you, my girl!
If you embrace me in your heart,
and quench all of my thirst,
the heat builds up, the passion rises, and I lose control—come to me...
Oh my, oh my...
Oh my, oh my, little princess!
Where are you going after tricking me?
This is a trap set by the warrior of Madurai!
This is the pure water of the Vaigai river!
Your clever games won't work here, girl!
Sweet talk and fake excuses won't help you!
Why do you keep biting your lip like that?
Why scatter sharp thorns across your angry face?
