Ye pulla
Katta karuppazhagi kangaani paethi
Sundi izhukkuriyae javvathu poosi
Sittu sirippazhagi singaaram kaatti
Paaya virikkiriyae nenjoram neetti
Ana katti thekkura
Alavachu paakura
Vala vacha aathula
Meena pola thullura
Ena katti thookkura
Sarikatti maathura
Mazha thanni pola thaan
Enna neeyum kudikkira
Rendu vizhi kannu kandapadi ninnu
Mennuthadi thinnu kollaama konnu
Hey kodam ulla neeraattum
En ulla neethanae
Elappaarum nezhalaattum
Onakkaaga iruppenae
Kattaanthara poothidichi
Thattaanthala verthidichi
Vekkam una kaattida thaan
Pakkam pasi aagidichi
Ottu uravaagida thaan
Sittu vazhi kaattidu nee
Kattu veragaagida thaan
Katti ena thookkudi nee
Adiyae
Katta karuppazhagi kangaani paethi
Sundi izhukkuriyae savvathu poosi
Sittu sirippazhagi singaaram kaatti
Paaya virikkiriyae nenjoram neetti
Mazha thanni pola thaan
Manasellam odura
Kada kanni pogala
Kannukulla nikkura
Ada vacha kozhiya
Azhaga thaan somakkura
Ola vacha panaiyil
Arisiya kudhikkura
Sattu neram nillu
Moththa vari sollu
Kattiduran thaali

Hey girl!
Dark-skinned beauty, granddaughter of the Kangani (overseer),
Scented with fragrant javvadhu (perfume powder), you pull me right in!
Little bird with a pretty smile, showing off your charms,
You spread out a mat across my heart!
You dam me up and hold me in,
You measure me and size me up,
In a river cast with nets,
You leap and splash like a fish!
You bundle me up and sweep me off,
You tame me down and change my ways,
Just like sweet rainwater,
You drink me right down!
Your two wild eyes stare me down,
Chewing and devouring me, killing me without slaying me!
Hey, like water cradled inside a pot,
You reside deep within my heart!
Like a soothing shade to rest beneath,
I will always be there for you!
The dry, hard earth has burst into bloom,
My bare head has broken into a sweat,
Just seeing your bashful smile,
A deep hunger has stirred in me by your side!
To make you my own family,
Little bird, show me the way!
If I am to be your bundle of firewood,
Tie me up and lift me, girl!
Hey girl!
Dark-skinned beauty, granddaughter of the Kangani (overseer),
Scented with fragrant javvadhu (perfume powder), you pull me right in!
Little bird with a pretty smile, showing off your charms,
You spread out a mat across my heart!
Just like flowing rainwater,
You rush all through my heart!
I don't wander to the village shops,
You are standing right before my eyes!
Like a brooding hen sitting on her nest,
You carry all your beauty with grace!
In a pot of boiling water,
You dance and jump like grains of rice!
Wait for just a moment,
Tell me the whole score,
I will tie the thali (sacred marriage thread),
Right here, right now!
