உனக்கு மனசு இருக்குதா
போதும் நடிப்பைக் காட்டாதே
நாலு பேரைக் கூட்டாதே
Do you have any self-respect?
Do you even have a heart?
Enough, do not put on an act
Do not gather a crowd of four people
இந்த ஊரே கூடட்டும்
ஐயோ வேண்டாம் ஆர்ப்பாட்டம்
என்னை எதிர்த்துப் பேசாதே
சும்மா நிறுத்து வீசாதே...
Let the whole town assemble
Oh no, please avoid a commotion
Do not talk back against me
Just stop putting on airs
