Daddy mummy veetil illa thada poda yarum illa
Vilayaduvoma ula villala..
Hey maidhanam thevai illa.. umpire um thevai illa
Yarukum thozhvi illa villala..
Daddy mummy..Daddy mummy
Daddy mummy veetil illa thada poda yarum illa
Vilayaduvoma ula villala..
Hmmm taxi karan than na yerum bodhelam
Ada meter ku mela thandhu pal ilichanae..
Ah ha ah ha..
Ohhoooo bus ill yeri than oru seat-u ketenae
Than seat ii driver thandhu vitu oram ninanae..
Hey alavana odambukari hey alavilla kolupu kari..
Hey alavana odambukari hey alavilla kolupu kari.
.Irukudhu irukudhu
Vaadi unaku raathiri katcheri..
Daddy mummy veetil illa thada poda yarum illa
Vilayaduvoma ula villala..
Yeah-u yeah-u vaira vyabari en palai parthanae
Than virkum vairam poli endru thooki potanae
Ah ha ah ha..
Tha tha thanga vyabari en angam parthanae
Avan thangam elam mattam endru thozhilai vitanae
Hey azhagaana china papu

Hey azhagaana china papu veikadhae enaku aapu..
Koppum kolayai irukura unaku nan than de maapu..
Daddy mummy .. da da dy mummy
Daddy mummy veetil illa thada poda yarum illa
Vilayaduvoma ula villala.. ah ah.ah.ah.
Daddy and Mummy aren't home, there is no one to stop us.
Shall we play a game, ula villala...
Hey, no playing ground is needed, no umpire is needed either.
No one will lose, villala...
Daddy, Mummy... Daddy, Mummy!
Daddy and Mummy aren't home, there is no one to stop us.
Shall we play a game, ula villala...
Mm-hmm, whenever I get into a taxi,
He pays me more than the meter fare and grins ear to ear!
Aaha, aaha...
Oho, when I boarded a bus and just asked for a seat,
The driver gave up his own seat and stood off to the side!
Hey girl with the perfect body, hey girl with endless attitude!
Hey girl with the perfect body, hey girl with endless attitude!
It is waiting, it is waiting...
Come on girl, a wild musical night is waiting for you!
Daddy and Mummy aren't home, there is no one to stop us.
Shall we play a game, ula villala...
Hey, a diamond merchant looked at my bright white teeth,
And threw away the diamonds he was selling, calling them fake!
Aaha, aaha...
A gold merchant took a look at my body,
And gave up his trade, saying his gold was inferior!
Hey gorgeous little doll,
Don't try to set a trap for me!
Hey gorgeous little doll, don't try to set a trap for me!
For a girl blooming as richly as you, I'm the only groom!
Daddy, Mummy... Da-da-ddy, Mummy!
Daddy and Mummy aren't home, there is no one to stop us.
Shall we play a game, ula villala... ah ah ah ah!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Daddy Mummy' is an energetic and playful upbeat track where two lovers indulge in mischievous banter while her parents are away. The woman humorously boasts about her irresistible beauty, claiming that taxi drivers give her extra money, bus drivers surrender their seats, diamond traders throw away real diamonds after seeing her teeth, and goldsmiths abandon their trade in awe of her radiance.
