Ada veetukku veetukku
Vaasapadi venum
Theru kooththukkum paattukum
Thalagadhi venum
Thala vaasalillaa veedum
Oru thaalamillaa kooththum
Thaththi tharigida tharigida
Thathigina thom
Ada veetukku veetukku
Vaasapadi venum
Theru kooththukkum paattukum
Thalagadhi venum
Alai aadidum aalkadal mattam
Adhil muththai edupppavan kastam
Indha oorukku theriyadhu
Ul manasula aayiram baaram
Adhu paattula odidum dhooram
Idhu yaarukkum puriyadhu
Onnillaama rendum illae
Aanillaama pennum illae
Pennillaama yaarum illae
Thunbam illaa perum illae
Vaasalillaa veedum
Oru thaalamillaa kooththum
Thaththi tharigida tharigida

Hey, every home
needs a doorstep.
For a street play and a song,
there must be a steady rhythm.
A house without a front door,
and a folk play without rhythm,
Thathi tharikida tharikida
Thathiginathom!
Hey, every home
needs a doorstep.
For a street play and a song,
there must be a steady rhythm.
Out on the deep ocean where waves dance,
the hardship of the pearl diver
is unknown to this town.
A thousand burdens in the heart
vanish far away in a song,
yet no one understands this.
It is not just one or two truths:
without a man, there is no woman,
without a woman, no one is born,
and no one is free of sorrow.
A house without a doorway,
and a play without rhythm,
Thathi tharikida tharikida
Thathiginathom!
Hey, every home
needs a doorstep.
For a street play and a song,
there must be a steady rhythm.
Hey, every home
needs a doorstep... ha ha!
For a street play and a song,
there must be a steady rhythm.
Look at the bride and groom,
like a pair of bulls yoked to a plow,
may they live together for many long years.
Spread a bed of jasmine flowers,
and display the arts of Manmatha (the god of love),
so that I may soon hear a lullaby.
There is no body without clothes,
there is no ocean without waves,
there is no bell without sound,
and there is no heart without desire.
A house without a doorway,
and a play without rhythm,
Thathi tharikida tharikida
Thathiginathom!
Hey, every home
needs a doorstep.
For a street play and a song,
there must be a steady rhythm... ha ha...
A house without a front door,
and a folk play without rhythm,
Thathi tharikida tharikida
Thathiginathom!
Hey, every home
needs a doorstep.
For a street play and a song,
there must be a steady rhythm... mmm...
