Draped in an Annakili saree,
walking gracefully like a swan,
girl, draped in an Annakili saree,
walking gracefully like a swan,
she has never looked up,
this young girl full of desire.
By the river and inside the grove,
a heart is longing,
and the man's gaze is peculiar!
A heart is longing,
and the man's gaze is peculiar!
Hey... draped in an Annakili saree,
draped in an Annakili saree,
draped in an Annakili saree,
walking gracefully like a swan,
she has never looked up,
this young girl full of desire.
A heart is longing,
and the man's gaze is peculiar!
A heart is longing,
and the man's gaze is peculiar!
Wearing drop earrings and jhumkas,
wearing a waistbelt and bangles,
girl, wearing drop earrings and jhumkas,
wearing a waistbelt and bangles,
dressed in a Kanchipuram silk saree,
we are going to show you the seashore,
and feed you treats in a car!
Brother, wearing drop earrings and jhumkas,
wearing drop earrings and jhumkas,
wearing drop earrings and jhumkas,
wearing a waistbelt and bangles,
dressed in a Kanchipuram silk saree,
pack some food for the journey too,
show her the seashore,
and feed the girl in the car!
Show her the seashore,
and feed the girl in the car!
Ohhh... oh... oh...
Oh-ho... ho... oh-ho... ho...
Dharmalingam from Cheyyar,
Nagalingam from Chinna Salem,
Oh man... Dharmalingam from Cheyyar,
Nagalingam from Chinna Salem,
Hey, Sivalingam from Thaiyaloor,
catch him gently, Amrithalingam!
Aha, Amrithalingam didn't pay the gift money!
Dharmalingam from Cheyyar,
Dharmalingam from Cheyyar,
Dharmalingam from Cheyyar,
Nagalingam from Chinna Salem,
After stuffing his face till he was full,
Amrithalingam didn't pay the gift money!
Look at the bride laughing,
the finest in our whole district!
Look at the groom's family causing trouble,
coming right here to pick a fight!
From Manamadurai district,
Manickam's eldest daughter,
girl... from Manamadurai district,
Manickam's eldest daughter,
to take in the groom's handsome looks,
one would need ten million eyes!
All you have is one and a half eyes!
From Manamadurai district,
from Manamadurai district,
from Manamadurai district,
Manickam's eldest daughter,
to take in the groom's handsome looks,
one would need ten million eyes!
He is a king wearing a crown,
is our groom an ordinary man?
She cast a spell and acted sweet,
your daughter trapped my boy!
Melting a plate of gold,
I will make a chain and put it on you.
Girl... hey...
Melting a plate of gold,
I will make a chain and put it on you.
Making beads out of silver,
I will put a pair of anklets on your feet.
I am going to show you our grand style!
Oh, melting a plate of gold,
melting a plate of gold,
melting a plate of gold,
I will make a chain and put it on you.
Making beads out of silver,
I will put a pair of anklets on your feet.
Listen to me, my darling, I will put them on you myself!
I don't need a gold chain,
I don't need a gold chain,
I don't need a gold chain,
I don't need armlets, I don't need bangles,
I don't need silver-beaded anklets,
I don't need any gold waistbelt,
having only you is enough for me,
my thoughts are always about you!
My king whom I sought and found,
hey, carry that water jug!
Come, let us sneak away into private,
the upstairs room is waiting for us there!
Pull the door shut and lock it tight,
and we can have our fun right there!
