Yelae machi parakkum patchi
Elumichi eerkkum kuchi
Chinna vayasu ponnunga
Namma vevaram kekkudhu
Oru tholaiya pottu thaan
Nenjukkulla nozhaiya paakkudhu
Ada alukki kulukki minukki manasa thaakkudhu
Yelae machi parakkum patchi
Elumichi eerkkum kuchi
Chinna vayasu ponnunga
Namma vevaram kekkudhu
Oru tholaiya pottu thaan
Nenjukkulla nozhaiya paakkudhu
Ada alukki kulukki minukki manasa thaakkudhu
Yelae machi parakkum patchi
Elumichi eerkkum kuchi
Naadi kombula naan
Maariyappa dhevar solli thara
Naalu vithaigalum kathukkittu
Peru vaanginavan
Vaadappattiylae aiyanaaru koyil vaasalilae
Oora kootti vechu
Kambeduthu selambam suthinavan
Sangaradhaasu saami kitta…
Aa… aa…aaa….aa…aa..

Naadaga paadangal kettavan
Logi dhaasar vesham ellaam
Chinna pullaiyila pottavan
Iruttu kottagaiyil
Kattabomman koothu kattinavan
Edhir paattu katti ingae
Unna vandhu yaaru nikkiravan
Adi paakku vethala maatha nikkira
Ponnunga ethanaiyo
Yelaelaelae machi parakkum patchi
Elumichi eerkkum kuchi

Hey buddy, a flying bird!
Lemon, and a slender stick!
The young girls...
...are inquiring about us!
Drilling a little hole,
they are trying to slip into our hearts!
Ah, swaying, shaking, and dazzling, they strike our hearts!
Hey buddy, a flying bird!
Lemon, and a slender stick!
The young girls...
...are inquiring about us!
Drilling a little hole,
they are trying to slip into our hearts!
Ah, swaying, shaking, and dazzling, they strike our hearts!
Hey buddy, a flying bird!
Lemon, and a slender stick!
Taking up the fighting staff,
with Mariappa Thevar training me,
I learned all the techniques
and earned a great name!
In Vadapatti, right before the Ayyanar temple,
gathering the whole town,
I picked up the staff and spun Silambam (traditional stick fighting)!
From Sankaradas Swamigal (father of modern Tamil theatre)...
Ah... ah... aah... ah... aa...
From Sankaradas Swamigal,
I learned the art of theatre!
The role of Lohitadasa,
I acted out even as a little boy!
In the touring theatre tents,
I staged the play of Kattabomman!
Making up a rival song,
who could ever stand against you here?
Hey, waiting to exchange betel leaves and nuts for marriage,
how many eager girls are lined up!
Hey buddy, a flying bird!
Lemon, and a slender stick!
The young girls...
...are inquiring about us!
Drilling a little hole,
they are trying to slip into our hearts!
Ah, swaying, shaking, and dazzling, they strike our hearts!
Hey buddy, a flying bird!
Lemon, and a slender stick!
Stick, stick, stick!
Hey uvva uvva uvva uvvavaa
Uvva uvvavaa
Hey uvva uvva uvva uvvavaa
Uvva uvvavaa
God always...
...keeps a lock for every key!
Deciding who belongs to whom,
he has already written it in his ledger!
As sarees swirl all around,
this young bull's eye watches from afar!
For this young bull,
which tender bride is destined?
In the grove of Shenbagam flowers...
Ah... aah... ah... aah... aah...
In the grove of Shenbagam flowers,
I will sing Lavani (folk debate songs)!
As I sing, dancing along,
come the half-sarees of picture-perfect beauties!
For the whole town to praise,
he is the king who sings folk songs!
To make everyone swoon in delight,
he is Lord Krishna casting magic spells!
Hey, waiting to exchange betel leaves and nuts for marriage,
how many eager girls are lined up!
Hey buddy, a flying bird!
Lemon, and a slender stick!
The young girls...
...are inquiring about us!
Drilling a little hole,
they are trying to slip into our hearts!
Ah, swaying, shaking, and dazzling, they strike our hearts!
Hey buddy, a flying bird! Hoo hoo hoo!
Lemon, and a slender stick! Kur-kur aahaa...
