To the rhythm beaten by someone else,
don't dance, don't dance, don't dance!
To the rhythm beaten by someone else,
don't dance, don't dance, don't dance!
Such dancing and singing, for a girl from a good home,
is not right, not right, not right!
Getting in the way of everything,
don't spoil it, don't spoil it, don't spoil it!
Getting in the way of everything,
don't spoil it, don't spoil it, don't spoil it!
If I dance away my own grandfather's wealth,
don't stop me, don't stop me, don't stop me!
To the rhythm beaten by someone else,
don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance!
Lips should turn red from chewing betel leaves—
the lips of a good, virtuous woman.
Smearing cheap colors on your mouth
is only a waste of good money!
Look at a face glowing with
freshly ground turmeric paste.
If you smear makeup powder like ground flour,
look, it is an eyesore! Aha, it is an eyesore!
Wearing flowers that match her hair,
she should admire her own beauty.
Even a girl from a good family
should learn and try the art of dance.
When she sways her waist and dances,
you should just sit back and enjoy it!
If you don't like it, without making a fuss,
you should simply step aside!
To the rhythm beaten by someone else,
don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance!
Because of the dancing Madhavi did,
Kovalan met his ruin!
His blessed and faithful wife Kannagi,
he completely forgot!
Only after getting burned did wisdom dawn,
and he let go of the hot pot!
The reason for all that he suffered
was this very dancing, wasn't it?
Like colorful peacocks and sweet
little cuckoos, woman too is one of nature's birds.
For her to dance about and fly while singing
is simply the law of nature!
The lovely face of a beautiful girl
is like half of the bright white moon.
Making rules to control and restrict her
is an old-fashioned tale! Ahaha, a thing of the past!
To the rhythm beaten by someone else,
don't dance, don't dance, don't dance!
Female: Getting in the way of everything,
don't spoil it, don't spoil it, don't spoil it!
