Ada mama thattu maththalaththa
Ada mama thattu maththalaththa
Naan mayakki izhukkiraen vattaaraththa
Adi neeyaa nanaa paaththukalaam
Nerukku neraa pottukkalaam
Pondatti pakkaththula
Pulla rendu kakkaththula
Ennaaththukku ennai kann adichcheenga
Pondatti pakkaththula
Pulla rendu kakkaththula
Ennaaththukku ennai kann adichcheenga
Aasa theera thinnathum azhukku theera kulichchathum
Aambalainga pombalaiyanga yaarumae illa
Ellaarum ponnuthaan
Ellaarumae onnuthaan
Ellaamae irukkura edaththa poruththuthaan
Ada mama thattu maththalaththa
Ada mama thattu maththalaththa
Naan mayakki izhukkiiraen vattaaraththa
Elachchava korachchaa thuniya
Elachchava korachchaa aabaththunga aanaa
Kozhuththava korachchaa naagareeganga
Poruppil iruppavanga
Podhuvil irukkanuminnu
Poomaalai podurom vaanga saami
Neram nerunguthu niyaayam jeyikkuthu
Naalai pozhuthu oru nanmai irukkuthu
Ada mama thattu maththalaththa
Ada mama thattu maththalaththa
Naan mayakki izhukkiraen vattaaraththa
Adi neeyaa nanaa paaththukalaam
Haan nerukku neraa pottukkalaam
Vella manasoda ingae
Virunthukku vanthirukkum
Vallavaru nallavaru saamiyo

Naan solven kaiyaiththaan konjam kaamiyo
Nallathaiyum kettathaiyum naalai nadappathaiyum
Naan solven kaiyaiththaan konjam kaamiyo
Kollimala devi kitta nalla varam vaanginaen

Kuri parththaa sariyaagum sagunam thappaathu
Ada mama thattu maththalaththa
Ada mama thattu maththalaththa
Naan mayakki izhukkiraen vattaaraththa
Adi neeyaa nanaa paaththukalaam
Nerukku neraa pottukkalaam
Hey uncle, beat the drum!
Hey uncle, beat the drum!
I will charm and pull in the whole neighborhood!
Let's see who wins—you or me!
Let's face each other head-to-head...
With your wife right beside you,
And two kids in your arms,
Why did you wink at me?
With your wife right beside you,
And two kids in your arms,
Why did you wink at me?
No one has eaten till cravings were gone, or bathed till all dirt vanished;
There is no man or woman who has done that!
Everyone is just a woman,
Everyone is one and the same,
It all depends on where you stand!
Hey uncle, uncle, beat the drum!
Hey uncle, beat the drum!
I will charm and pull in the whole neighborhood...
If a poor woman shortens her clothes—
If a poor woman wears less, it's called dangerous, but
If a rich woman wears less, it's called high fashion!
Those who hold public duty
Must be open and fair to all,
So we welcome you with a garland, come on, sir!
The time is drawing near, justice will win,
Tomorrow's dawn will bring good things!
Hey uncle, uncle, beat the drum!
Hey uncle, beat the drum!
I will charm and pull in the whole neighborhood...
Let's see who wins—you or me!
Yeah, let's face each other head-to-head...
With a pure and sincere heart,
Arriving here as our guest,
Is this great and good gentleman!
With a pure and sincere heart,
Arriving here as our guest,
Is this great and good gentleman!
The good, the bad, and what will happen tomorrow,
I will tell it all, just show me your hand!
The good, the bad, and what will happen tomorrow,
I will tell it all, just show me your hand!
I received a true blessing from the Goddess of Kolli Hills,
I received a true blessing from the Goddess of Kolli Hills,
My fortune-telling is accurate, the signs never fail!
Hey uncle, uncle, beat the drum!
Hey uncle, beat the drum!
I will charm and pull in the whole neighborhood...
Let's see who wins—you or me!
Let's face each other head-to-head...
