A bunch of plantains on the head, hoyya!
A bundle of fresh turmeric under the arm, hoyya!
A bag full of jaggery blocks, hoyya!
And sweet red sugarcane in hand!
Hey Kamakshi, Meenakshi, Kaveri, Kalyani!
Look at our cousin Muthukaalai,
Where will he put all these things?
Durrrrrrr...
Where will he put them, where will he go, girl?
This big guy will just stand there stranded, hey!
Where will he put them, where will he go, girl?
This big guy will just stand there stranded!
His four-cubit dhoti trapped by a saree,
Just look at him standing there!
Chorus: This is a Kottampatti bull,
It will gore anyone if let loose!
Tie it up inside a pen, girl!
Where will he put them, where will he go, girl?
This big guy will just stand there stranded!
He carries with him...
...a flute a cubit long!
Chorus: Hey hey hey!
Female: He plays it to charm the girls,
at twilight when evening lamps are lit!
Chorus: Hey hey...
He casts a net and pulls it in,
and the golden peacock falls right into it, girl!
Chorus: Hey hey hey!
Female: Under the plow he drives,
the virgin field playfully yields!
Chorus: Hey hey...
Climbing onto a rubbish mound,
Chorus: Kuppamma, Kuppamma,
Female: will he try to catch a hen?
Chorus: When, oh when?
Female: He must get knocked on the head to be tamed,
and the tail he wags so high must be clipped!
This is a Kottampatti bull,
it will gore anyone if let loose!
Tie it up inside a pen, girl!
He can put them anywhere, he can go anywhere!
This dashing man will stand in grand style... hey!
Hey girl, don't open your lips,
keep your mouth shut tight!
Ah... ah... ah... If you speak out of turn without thinking,
you'll get a slap and learn your lesson!
Hey, for my good looks,
many folks would gladly offer gold!
Oh really? If you scowl with that face of yours,
who on earth would ever marry you, girl?
Hey, you scarecrow,
Chorus: Subbamma, Subbamma,
Male: wouldn't you come circling around me?
Chorus: No, no, that's wrong!
Male: Ha, I might sit quietly like a stone pillar,
Hey, but if anyone provokes me, I'll leap and strike!
This is a Kottampatti bull,
if you touch it, it will gore you!
Where is the girl who can tie it down?
Who is she... no one at all, my dear!
He can put them anywhere, he can go anywhere!
This dashing man will stand in grand style!
Wearing a four-cubit dhoti,
just look at how he struts and wags his tail!
This is a Kottampatti bull,
if you touch it, it will gore you!
Where is the girl who can tie it down?
He can put them anywhere, he can go anywhere!
This dashing man will stand in grand style!
He can put them anywhere, he can go anywhere!
This dashing man will stand in grand style... hoy!
