தில்லுக்கு துட்டுன்னுதான்
நிப்பேன் வாறியா
மல்லுக்கு வந்த ஆளு
எல்லாம் மார்கையா
ஃபௌலாட்டம் ஆடி கோலு
போடப்போறியா
Standing tall for guts and money,
I will stand firm, are you coming?
Whoever came to pick a fight with me,
They all ended up finished/dead.
Playing a foul game, are you going
To try and score a goal?
மாமா ஸ்டீலு சம்மப் பறக்கும்
கங்கு நெருப்புதானே தெறிக்கும்
என்ன தட்டித் தூக்கப் பார்க்காதே
Uncle's swagger flies high,
Sparks of glowing fire will burst forth!
Don't try to strike me down or knock me over.
தில்லுக்குத் துட்டுதான்னு
நிற்க்கப்போறியா
நான் கூட மாறிப்புட்டேன்
சண்டக்காரியா
Standing bold for guts and money,
Are you going to stand up?
Even I have changed now,
Into a fiery fighter girl!
உன் இடுப்பு தம்மாத்துண்டு
நான் புடிக்க ஊரே கண்டு
லேசா சிக்கம்மாட்டான் குமாரு
நான் பாட்சா உடும் பாட்சா
Your waist is so tiny,
When I hold it, the whole town watches.
Kumar won't get caught easily!
I am the king, the king of kings!
ஹோ ஓ ஹோ
ஹோ ஓ ஹோ
Hoo oo hoo
Hoo oo hooo
எதுக்கும் அஞ்சமாட்டேன்
இறங்கி கெஞ்சமாட்டேன்
உதவி கேட்டு வந்தா
ஒதுங்கி போகம்மாட்டேன்
He won't fear anything at all,
He will never bow down or beg.
If someone comes seeking help,
He won't step aside or run away.
என் புள்ளைக்கேத்த
அம்சம்மானப் பொண்ணு
அட சேர வேணும்
ரெண்டு பேரும் ஒன்னு
Suited just right for my son,
A girl with excellent qualities.
Ah, they both should unite,
The two of them as one!
கில்லிப் போல தூக்குவான்டா
அள்ளி பார்சல் கட்டுவான்டா
இவன் வச்சக்குறி தப்பாதே
He will lift you up like a champion,
Pack up the rivals and send them off,
His target aim will never miss!
கில்லிப் போல தூக்குவான்டா
அள்ளி பார்சல் கட்டுவான்டா
இவன் வச்சக்குறி தப்பாதே
He will lift you up like a champion,
Pack up the rivals and send them off,
His target aim will never miss!
அத்திரி பத்திரி சொச்சா
என்ன ஸ்கெட்ச்சில தூக்கப் பார்த்தான்
இப்போ சிக்கம்மாட்டான் குமாரு
நான் பாட்சா உடும் பாட்சா
Panicking and utterly confused,
He tried to eliminate me in a trap,
But now Kumar won't get caught!
I am the king, the king of kings!

Hoo oo hoo
Hoo oo hooo
Hoo oo hooo
You are my king...
அஜக்தோ லைசாக்குட்டி
சிலாக்கோ சீனிக்கட்டி
அலேக்கா ஆளத்தூக்கி
கண்ணால போட்டேன் ஜாக்கி
Hey playful little sweetheart,
Sweet as a sugar cube,
Effortlessly lifting someone up,
I hoisted you with just a glance!
உன் அச்சுவெல்லக்
கிண்டல் பேச்சுப் புடிக்கும்
ஏய் ஆக்கருப் போட்ட
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள தொலைக்கும்
Your jaggery-sweet,
Playful teasing speech is what I love.
Hey, when jaggery syrup blends,
It dissolves completely inside the heart!
ஒம்மேல சின்ன ஸ்கிராச்சு
யாரும் போட்டுப் புட்டா
போச்சு அவன் டங்குவாரு டாராவும்
If even a tiny scratch on you
Is made by anyone,
It's over! His trousers belt will snap to pieces!
அத்திரி பத்திரி சொச்சா
என்ன ஸ்கெட்ச்சில தூக்கப் பார்த்தான்
இப்போ சிக்கம்மாட்டான் குமாரு
நான் பாட்சா உடும் பாட்சா
Panicking and utterly confused,
He tried to eliminate me in a trap,
But now Kumar won't get caught!
I am the king, the king of kings!

Rhyme / Ethukai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Gilli paalaa thookkuvaandaa / Alli paarcel kattuvaandaa”
The second letters of 'Gilli' and 'Alli' match with the 'lla' sound, creating a rhythmic Tamil ethukai structure.
Metaphor
“Sillaakko seenikkatti”
Describing the loved one as 'seenikkatti' (sugar cube) and 'achuvella' (jaggery) metaphorically emphasizes sweetness in character and affection.
Slang / Colloquialism
“Enna sketchila thookka paarthaan”
Use of local Chennai Tamil slang such as 'Margaiya' (dead/finished), 'Dhillu' (guts), and 'Sketch' (plot/trap) adds authentic street flavor to the song.
