On the streets of Devakottai,
I am the one who fought with silambam martial sticks!
In the boxing competition,
I am the champion who conquered Kottaiyur!
At the Kalaiyar Kovil temple, I am the one who tamed the bull!
Karaikudi, Kundrakudi, Kadambankudi, Paramakudi,
Iluppakkudi, Ilayangudi—after seeing all these places,
I lifted the weight stones at the Kallakkudi market and have arrived!
Chorus: Aa... aa... aah... aa... hey...
Playing the dashing role of a sly thief,
I have arrived, my girl, I have arrived!
Playing the dashing role of a sly thief,
I have arrived, my girl, I have arrived!
I am going to whisk this lovely young girl away!
Tathom tharikidathom tathom tharikidathom,
Tathom tharikidathom... thakajunutha!
Hey Kannappa, disguised as a thief!
Oh, Kannappa!
I am not an unguarded garden—pack up and leave!
I am not an unguarded garden—pack up and leave!
Tathom tharikidathom tathom tharikidathom,
Tathom tharikidathom... thakathimitha...
Ah... thilla daangu daangu!
The rhythm you keep is all wrong!
Thilla daangu daangu!
The rhythm you keep is all wrong!
Thilla daangu daangu!
Turn it around and take a beating!
Look around, there is no one here, listen to me,
Give me an affectionate kiss, and
Hold me close and stitch me to your heart... oo... oo... oo...
I am a queen!
Male: So be it, let it be!
Female: And you are a thief!
Male: What of it? What is wrong with that?
Female: Get lost, you fool!
Male: Scold me all you want!
Female: I will hit you hard!
Male: Hit me then, go ahead and hit me!
My golden girl, even your scolding is sheer sweetness to hear!
My golden girl, even your scolding is sheer sweetness to hear!
You sly thief...
Male: Palkku bale pal!
Palkku bale pal, palkku bale pal!
Palkku bale pal, bale bale!
Hey Kannappa, disguised as a sly thief!
Oh, Kannappa!
I am not an unguarded garden—pack up and leave!
I am not an unguarded garden—pack up and leave!
Tathom tharikidathom tathom tharikidathom,
Your song and my song are ruined now, let it be...
................
Hey Kathappa with your burglar's tool,
Touching me was a huge mistake!
Look at the crowd gathered here, in this crowd,
Go search for that old woman... ah...
Male: When searching...
Female: She hides and ducks!
Male: When looking...
Female: She slips away and ducks!
Male: She is on the move!
Female: Hide it, hide it!
Male: She is escaping!
Female: Catch her, catch her!
Male: If we let her go now, that chubby old lady will slip away!
If we let her go now, that chubby old lady will slip away!
You sly thief...
Female: Palkku bale pal!
Palkku bale pal, palkku bale pal!
Palkku bale pal, bale bale!
Playing the dashing role of a sly thief,
I have arrived, my girl, I have arrived!
I am going to whisk this lovely young girl away!
I am going to whisk this lovely young girl away!
Hey Kannappa, disguised as a thief!
Male: Aahaa!
Female: Oh, Kannappa!
Male: Aa... aahaa!
Female: I am not an unguarded garden—pack up and leave!
I am not an unguarded garden—pack up and leave!
Both: Tathom tharikidathom tathom tharikidathom,
Tathom tharikidathom... thakajunutha!
