Kanagambaram flowers in the breeze,
Love blossoms by the street corner!
Kanagambaram flowers in the breeze,
Love blossoms by the street corner!
You are meant to be your cousin's wife,
A sweet hum echoes in my heart!
The procession moves along, the swing sways!
Kanagambaram flowers in the breeze,
Love blossoms by the street corner!
Play the beat! Kanagambaram flowers in the breeze,
Love blossoms by the street corner!

Aunt's daughter, come close to me!
Female: Mmm-mmm
Male: Your cousin has come with so much longing!
Female: Hoo-ooo
Male: Aunt's daughter, I said come close to me!
Your cousin has come with so much longing!
My darling, bright as a mirror,
Come here, my wife-to-be!

Holding you tightly in my arms,
This Madurai bull will carry you away!

A sweet hum echoes in my heart!

Oh boy!
Ever since I laid eyes on you,
Female: And then?
Male: The world spins around on its own!
Female: Haan, of course it spins!
Male: Ever since I laid eyes on you,
The world spins around on its own!
Like I am drunk on palm wine, hic!
Stumbling right towards you,
Like I am drunk on palm wine,
Stumbling right towards you,
Your skin is soft like silk,
There is no harm in touching you!
In the breeze,
Female: Aha!

When drawing water with the well-sweep,

When drawing water with the well-sweep,
Water rushes across the field!
The crop will ripen, and the puzzle will be solved!
The crop will ripen, and the puzzle will be solved!
Give me a good answer,
Or push me into the well!

You really pushed me in! Oh boy, ah ah ah ah!
Kanagambaram flowers in the breeze,
Love blossoms inside the well!
Kanagambaram flowers in the breeze,
Love blossoms inside the well!
There is no wife for this cousin,
I have no feelings for you, mister!
Should I pay you an advance deposit?
Suffer down there and leave me alone!
Durrrr hoo hoy!
Here, catch this, hold on!
Just wait till I climb back up!
Just wait till I catch you!
You are going to get kicked, oh yes!
