Yethikada bodha naan paatukattum medha
Adachu vacha full ah kalakungada mella
Vanthu konjam aattampodu vattam pottudhaan
Aithalakka aadu andharathil
Aadu kittathatta inga kingu naamadhaan
Damakku dappa aadu dammarandhaan
Podu darrunuakka podu dandanakkadhaan
Yethikada bodha naan paatukattum medha
Kootta naama sernthuputta kuthupaatudhaan
Adachu vacha full ah kalakungada mella
Vanthu konjam aattampodu vattam pottudhaan
Manusan kanda indha mappukulla
Maataathavan inga evanum illa
Thanni konjam oothu jinnukulla
Raavaa utta safety illa
Aadithaan adankum da vaazhkayada
Ada athukulla adichukka aadikada
Bodhi maram pola bodhaiyada
Potta varum nyanamada
Aithalakka aadu andharathil
Aadu kittathatta inga kingu naamadhaan
Damakku dappa aadu dammarandhaan
Podu darrunuakka podu dandanakkadhaan
Therku dhisa indha seemaikulla
Sekarathan minja aale illa
Sorkathayae vachan sombukulla
Ulla thalla tholla illa
Maanam rosam ellam vitu pochu
Venam maamu indha vetti pechu
Kutti thotta thappu oorukkulla
Ada kuppi thotta thappe illa

Aadu kittathatta inga kingu naamadhaan
Damakku dappa aadu dammarandhaan
Podu darrunuakka podu dandanakkadhaan
Aithalakka aadu andharathil
Aadu kittathatta inga kingu naamadhaan
Damakku dappa aadu dammarandhaan
Podu darrunuakka podu dandanakkadhaan
Let the buzz rise, man; I am a genius who makes songs!
Gently mix that sealed full bottle, boys!
Come dance a bit, forming a circle!
Dance carefree, leaping in the air!
Dance! Pretty much, we are the kings here!
Dance to the beat of the folk drums!
Drop the beat, strike up that Dandanakka rhythm!
Let the buzz rise, man; I am a genius who makes songs!
Once our gang gets together, it is a kuthu folk song!
Gently mix that sealed full bottle, boys!
Come dance a bit, forming a circle!
In this drunkenness discovered by humankind,
There is nobody here who has not been hooked!
Pour a little water into the gin,
Drinking it neat is not safe!
Life settles down only after all the dancing,
Hey, party hard and enjoy before it ends!
This intoxication is just like the Bodhi tree,
Take a drink, and true wisdom will dawn!
Dance carefree, leaping in the air!
Dance! Pretty much, we are the kings here!
Dance to the beat of the folk drums!
Drop the beat, strike up that Dandanakka rhythm!
Across this southern land,
There is no one who can outdo Sekar!
He packed heaven right inside a small pot!
Gulp it down, there is no trouble at all!
Shame and self-respect are long gone,
Buddy, we do not need this idle chatter!
Touching a girl is seen as wrong in town,
Hey, but touching a bottle is no crime at all!
Dance carefree, leaping in the air!
Dance! Pretty much, we are the kings here!
Dance to the beat of the folk drums!
Drop the beat, strike up that Dandanakka rhythm!
Dance carefree, leaping in the air!
Dance! Pretty much, we are the kings here!
Dance to the beat of the folk drums!
Drop the beat, strike up that Dandanakka rhythm!
