Aluka thaluka kanchi pattu kanaka

Valuki porava naan mama

Naisa size-a nandha vana pousa

Kootathula oruthan raa mama

Teka kodukum macha kanni naan

Oore nadakum enna suthi than

Mulusa purunja sokka thangam than

Lachathila oruthi naan mama

Thothukudi muthukuli mutharam naan

Thagamadi thangumadi vegu neram than

Poothu kulungum poonthotam naan

Rasika rusika raa maama

Eh aluka hey hey thaluka

Eh aluka hey hey thaluka

Eh aluka hey hey thaluka

Eh aluka hey hey thaluka

Aada variya

Dhottabetta alagu da thottu thottu palagu da

Alli kolla palli kolla enkitta nee raa raa

Katha ruva note da kita vanthu kaatu da

Yenga vachu poiduven thookam kettu poda

Halwa kannu rendum onna vambu ilukum

Oore enna pathu lesa jollu vaikum

Ettupatti oorum enna than paakum

Suthu pottu enna aada than kelkum

Aluka thaluka kanchi pattu kanaka

Valuki porava naan mama

Naisa size-a nandha vana pousa

Kootathula oruthan raa mama

Kanthanuku valli ya kannanuku rathai ya

Thaerodum veethiyila adurava naa naan

Sadhi sanam koodum da metu katti padum da

Palaya pagai meethi yellam methi inga venam

Nalla vazhi kaatum padi samiya vendungada

Vandha kurai ellam unna vitu puttu odum mada

Ista pattu keta tharuvada aatha

Theduratha neeyum vitturatha raasa

Aluka thaluka kanchi pattu kanaka

Valuki porava naan mama

Naisa size-a nandha vana pousa

Kootathula oruthan raa mama

Teka kodukum macha kanni naan

Oore nadakum enna suthi than

Mulusa purunja sokka thangam than

Lachathila oruthi naan mama

Thothukudi muthukuli mutharam naan

Thagamadi thangumadi vegu neram than

Poothu kulungum poonthotam naan

Rasika rusika raa maama

Swaying with charm in a rich Kanchi silk saree,

I am the one gliding by, mister!

Smooth, shapely, with the grace of a garden,

Stand out from the crowd and come to me, mister!

I'm the girl with the beauty mark who steals the show,

The whole town revolves around me,

Pure gold for anyone who truly knows me,

I am one in a million, mister!

I am a necklace of Tuticorin pearls,

This longing thirst will last a very long time,

I am a flower garden in full bloom,

Come enjoy and relish me, mister!

Hey, swaying, hey hey, strutting,

Hey, swaying, hey hey, strutting,

Hey, swaying, hey hey, strutting,

Hey, swaying, hey hey, strutting,

Are you coming to dance?

I have the beauty of Doddabetta peak, touch and get to know me!

Come to me to hold me close and lie beside me!

Flash a thick wad of cash and come close!

I will leave you craving and rob you of your sleep!

My two sweet eyes stir up trouble together,

The whole town drools a little looking at me,

All eight surrounding villages look only at me,

They gather around and ask me to dance.

Swaying with charm in a rich Kanchi silk saree,

I am the one gliding by, mister!

Smooth, shapely, with the grace of a garden,

Stand out from the crowd and come to me, mister!

Like Valli to Lord Murugan, like Radha to Krishna,

I am the one dancing in the temple car street!

Friends and kin will gather and sing to the tune,

Crush the remaining old grudges, we don't want them here!

Pray to God to show you the right way,

All your troubles will leave you and run away!

If you ask with all your heart, Mother Goddess will grant it,

Don't give up on what you seek, my king!

Swaying with charm in a rich Kanchi silk saree,

I am the one gliding by, mister!

Smooth, shapely, with the grace of a garden,

Stand out from the crowd and come to me, mister!

I'm the girl with the beauty mark who steals the show,

The whole town revolves around me,

Pure gold for anyone who truly knows me,

I am one in a million, mister!

I am a necklace of Tuticorin pearls,

This longing thirst will last a very long time,

I am a flower garden in full bloom,

Come enjoy and relish me, mister!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Ninnu Vilayadu is a vibrant, upbeat Tamil folk-pop dance track expressing feminine pride, allure, and festive celebration. The lead performer sings about her exquisite charm, comparing herself to gold-draped Kanchipuram silk, Thoothukudi pearls, and a lush flowering garden, enticing her suitor while reigning over the entire village. Beyond the romantic teasing, the song shifts into a communal festive mood, inviting relatives to come together, put aside old grudges, dance during village chariot processions, and seek blessings from the local mother goddess for prosperity and peace.
