Panthayatha kettu machan thokattum
Vellari poovazhaga
Vedala pulla thol azhaga
Vevagaram pesi mudiveduppom
Pasumaatu nei rusiya
Panthi vecha kai rusiya
Paipottu pesi pesi mudippom
Sundakanja pal inippa
Sundu viral thaan inippa
Soodatha amuthi mudiveduppom
Hey vaiyuthulla pulla illa
Vazhkayila tholla illa
Pathaikkoru inbam kandu jaippom
Sakkalathi sandayila
Thali kattum vambu illa
Ippadiyae ella nalum iruppom

Why do I need a wife?
When lovers surround me on all sides,
the count has gone way over the top!
On the way to school,
by the stream in Pallapatti village,
my head got completely spun around!
Anyone who calls this a crime is a fool!
Hey...
By the village pond and the irrigation lake,
while I was catching little fish,
you saw my calves and caught hold of me!
While digging wild turmeric roots,
when the drape over my chest slipped aside,
you bought me jasmine flowers and won me over!
Hey, along the narrow footpath,
when I was walking all alone,
you circled around and grabbed the pleats of my saree!
In the common ground of Karattupatti,
while I was doing the pot dance,
you saw my dance and fell for me!
Hey, to gently hold my shoulders,
to massage my feet when sleep comes,
I need a different girl every single day!
There are seven days in a week,
yet only four of you have turned up,
so the count is short by three!
Why do I need a wife?
When lovers surround me on all sides,
the count has gone way over the top!
On the way to school,
by the stream in Pallapatti village,
my head got completely spun around!
...
Is wild forest honey sweeter,
or the lips of a young girl sweeter?
Place the bet, let my man lose!
Is a cucumber flower prettier,
or the shoulders of a blooming girl prettier?
Let us debate and make our choice!
Is fresh cow's ghee tastier,
or the loving hand serving the feast tastier?
Let us roll out a mat, talk it over, and settle it!
Is thick simmered milk sweeter,
or the touch of a little finger sweeter?
Let us swear on burning camphor and decide!
Hey, no baby in the belly,
no troubles in our life,
let us taste pleasure along every path and win!
No fighting between co-wives,
no hassle of tying the marriage knot,
let us stay just like this every single day!
Why do I need a wife?
When lovers surround me on all sides,
the count has gone way over the top!
On the way to school,
by the stream in Pallapatti village,
my head got completely spun around!
Anyone who calls this a crime is a fool!
