Has the proud lady finally calmed down?
Seeing him, is she trying to hide her feelings?
Has love, sweet love, finally begun?
Is it gripping and pulling at the heart?
Is it only to help with that,
that you're beating the cymbals?
Is it just to win her heart,
that you're tapping the kanjira (tambourine)?
Tell me, the one who raged fiercely back in the day,
where did that fiery Aravalli-Sooravalli go?
The one who bossed men around back then,
what happened to that stubborn Queen Alli?
Hey dingillara dingillara,
Dingillara dingillara dingillaro!
Hey dingillara dingillara,
Dingillara dingillara dingillaro!
Has the proud lady finally calmed down?
Seeing him, is she trying to hide her feelings?
Has love, sweet love, finally begun?
Is it gripping and pulling at the heart?
I have fixed a fee to play the messenger of love!
Once the job is done, you must pay up in cash!
Hand over a five or ten right now as an advance!
If you come looking for me later, my dates won't be free!
I can read their minds and seal the deal!
I can handle even the roughest fellow!
I can spin sand into a rope!
I can peel fiber even from a stone!
Forget your worries and smile, my little bird!
Who is there to stop your romance?
On one side is Rama, on the other is Sita,
and this man born to unite them is Hanuman!
Tell me, the one who raged fiercely back in the day,
where did that fiery Aravalli-Sooravalli go?
The one who bossed men around back then,
what happened to that stubborn Queen Alli?
Has the proud lady finally calmed down?
Seeing him, is she trying to hide her feelings?
Has love, sweet love, finally begun?
Is it gripping and pulling at the heart?
Calling me 'Get lost, you good-for-nothing!' until yesterday,
the landlord's daughter who kept teasing and mocking me,
look how God made her plead with me today!
Who is cleverer than God Almighty?
You must treat me with respect!
Don't take me for a pushover!
I'm the henchman who gets any job done,
I am Vadivelu, the master of all trades!
Why keep it inside and agonize over it?
I will generously grant whatever wish you desire!
With the pretty girl sweet-talking him,
I'll teach her the way to get close to him!
Hey, the one who raged fiercely back in the day,
where did that fiery Aravalli-Sooravalli go?
The one who bossed men around back then,
what happened to that stubborn Queen Alli?
Has the proud lady finally calmed down?
Seeing him, is she trying to hide her feelings?
Has love, sweet love, finally begun?
Is it gripping and pulling at the heart?
Is it only to help with that,
that you're beating the cymbals?
Is it just to win her heart,
that you're tapping the kanjira (tambourine)?
Tell me, the one who raged fiercely back in the day,
where did that fiery Aravalli-Sooravalli go?
The one who bossed men around back then,
what happened to that stubborn Queen Alli?
Hey dingillara dingillara,
Dingillara dingillara dingillaro!
Hey dingillara dingillara,
Dingillara dingillara dingillaro!
Has the proud lady finally calmed down?
Seeing him, is she trying to hide her feelings?
Has love, sweet love, finally begun?
Is it gripping and pulling at the heart?
