அடி தேனி சந்தையில்
தேரு போல அசஞ்சு வந்தவளே

Hey, in the Theni market,
You who came swaying like a temple car,
You who were destined just for me,
I am waiting, come my sweet cuckoo bird!
அடி மல்லிக பூவ
கொண்டையில் சூட காத்து கிடக்கிறேன்டி
கண்ணு ரெண்டும் பூத்து கிடக்கிறேன்டி
Hey, to adorn with jasmine flowers,
I am waiting to place them in your hair bun,
Both my eyes are blooming in eager anticipation!
அட ஆண்டிப்பட்டியில்
ஆணி புடுங்க வந்த மகராசா

Ah, in the town of Andipatti,
Oh prince who came as if to perform grand feats,
Ah, I am a rose surrounded by sharp thorns,
Don't try your arrogance or bluffing with me!

The maiden peacock of this rough dry land,
Will never get trapped in your hands,
Your mischief will not work with me!
இந்த செவத்த பொம்பள
பெருத்த கூட்டத்தில் ஆடுறத பாரு
ஆட்டம் பாத்து சொக்கி நிக்குதூரு

This fair-complexioned woman,
Look at her dancing amidst the huge gathering!
The whole town stands entranced watching her dance,
Hey girl, who are your true kin?
அடி சிக்குன்னு உடம்பு
பாக்குன்னு எனக்கு
மோகம் தான் ஏறுதடி
கிட்ட வந்தா உன் முகம் மாறுதடி
Hey, with your trim and striking body,
My heart leaps suddenly,
Desire flares up inside me,
When I get closer, your face changes!
அட சும்மானாயிருக்கறேன்
வம்பு வழக்குற
வாயும் தான் கூசமா
மூடிக்கிட்டு போடா நீ பேசாம
Ah, I am remaining quiet,
Yet you are inviting unnecessary trouble,
Without any hesitation in your speech,
Shut your mouth and go away without talking!
நான் பாத்தா பச்சபுள்ள
பாஞ்சா கீரிபுள்ள
படமும் தான் காட்டாதே
உன் படம் என் தியேட்டரில் ஓடாதே
I am an innocent soul in your eyes,
A soft girl as delicate as cotton,
Don't show your false dramatic postures,
Your show will never run in my theater!
ஏய் இந்தா இந்தா

Just like the aroma of chicken curry,
You keep pulling me towards you,
When you get angry, you stand boiling hot,
Standing tall with fierce courage!
நீ புலிய வெறட்டும் முரத்துக்காரி

முச்சந்தியில் என நிறுத்திரியே
பக்கம் வந்தா எட்டி உதைக்கிறியே
You are like the legendary woman who chased tigers with a winnowing fan,
Why are you driving me away?
Leaving me stranded at the three-way junction,
Kicking me away whenever I step close!

In this barren dry forest,
We sprouted, educated ourselves, and rose up,
We accomplished many remarkable feats,
Confined inside a single household,
We weeded out the arrogance that locked us in,
And flew across oceans and continents!
