ஏ எடக்கு மடக்கு
அது என்னான்னு பண்ணுகிற
திருட்டு திருட்டு பயடா பழைய
வெறுப்பு அது மண்ணாகி போனது
இவ செஞ்ச குறும்புலடா
Hey, you mischievous and unruly one,
What are you up to now?
He is a sneaky little thief boy!
The age-old feud and hatred,
Has finally turned to dust,
All because of the cute prank she pulled!
திருட்டு போன
சிலையால வந்த மோதலுல
பிரிஞ்சி போன ஊரு சிறுக்கி
வயித்துக்குள்ள உண்டான
பிள்ளையால சேர்ந்ததே
சேர்ந்ததே வா
Because of the stolen statue that caused trouble,
The villages were divided after that major clash.
Because of the child now growing in this girl's womb,
They have reunited, come together at last!
இல்லை இல்லை
இல்லை என்ன சொல்ல
சொல்ல சொல்ல மனசு
மனசு அது வானத்துல
பறக்குது எட்டி எட்டி
எட்டுப்பட்டி பத்தி புகழும்
கொடிகட்டி கொடிகட்டி
பறக்குது
No, no, no,
What can I say, say, say?
My heart, my heart,
It is flying high up in the sky!
Reaching far across the eight surrounding villages,
They will sing praises of this triumph,
It flies high with its flag soaring proudly!
திரு திரு திரு திரு
திருடா நீ ஜெயிச்சிட்டா
ஜெயிச்சிட்டா மொரடா
ரெண்டு ஊரையும் ஒரு
காதல் ஜெயித்தது காதல்
என்றும் நெசந்தான்
You sneaky, sneaky little thief,
You won at last, you tough guy!
Over both these rival villages,
A single love has triumphed!
Love is indeed genuine affection.
இவன் புதிரா இல்லை
சதிரா சேட்டையில் கண்ணன்
இவன் பேட்டையில் மன்னன்
இவன் புதுசா புத்தம் புதுசா
இவன் ரவுசு தொடங்கும்
புது தினுசா
Is he a mysterious puzzle or a clever game?
In playful mischief, he is Lord Krishna himself,
In this neighborhood, he rules as king,
Freshly, brand new,
His swagger and celebration begin,
In a whole new style!
