Kadhava theradi baama
En kaalu valikalaama
Kadhava theradi baama
En kaalu valikalaama
Paarthavan sirippandi pathini pendaatti
Thaappala podathae adi aayiram aanaaalum
Veetukkullae vachikko veliyae verattadhae
Oorilulla aambalai seivadhai thaanae
Unarchiyin vegathil naanum ingu seidhen
Kaadhalicha pennai naan kai vidalaama
Kai vitta paavathai naan seiyalaama
Kurai illaa manidhanae ulagilae illaiyae
Veettukkullae kooppittu nee ennai mannithu
Serthu kolla kettukkiren
Kadhava theradi baama en kaalu valikalaama
Kadhava theradi baama en kaalu valikalaama
Pillai pola ennai nee valarpaadhaai solli
Paadiya paattaiyum yen marandhaai baama
Paai viricha raathiri nadanthathai konjam
Enniyae paarkaiyil yenguthu nenjam
Kanavanai thozhuvadhaai sonnaval neeyadi
Kai pidicha kaalathil nee sonna varthaigal
Kaathula thaan poi vittadhae
Kadhava theradi rukku
En kaalum valichukedakku
Kadhava theradi rukku
En kaalum valichukedakku
Paarthavan sirippandi pathini pendaatti
Thaappala podathae adi aayiram aanaaalum
Veetukkullae vachikko veliyae verattadhae
Aththa petha po mayil enakkena yengi
Thavipadhaai thudipadhaai
Thaayum vandhu sonnaal
Thaayin ullam kulirnthida avalukku naanae
Thaaliyai kattinen ver enna senjen
Thavaru thaan iruppinum thayavu nee puriyanum
Ponadhellam pogattum aanadhu aagattum
Kobathaiyum nee maathanum
Kadhava theradi rukku
En kaalum valichukedakku
Aayar paadi kannanin kadhaiyinai polae
Adiyavan vazhkaiyum aagi pochu pennae
Ingum angum odhapadum pandhu pol ennai
Iruvarum seigaiyil engu naan poven
Irandu naal pattini irakkam nee kaattadi
Kenji kenji ketkkiren sonnadha seigiren
Ulla vara nee solaldi
Kadhava theradi rukku
En kaalum valichukedakku
Paarthavan sirippandi pathini pendaatti
Thaappala podathae adi aayiram aanaaalum
Veetukkullae vachikko veliyae verattadhae
Kadhava theradi rukku
En kaalum valichukedakku
En kaalum valichukedakku
En kaalum valichukedakku….
Open the door, Bhama!
Should my legs be aching like this?
Open the door, Bhama!
Should my legs be aching like this?
Anyone watching will laugh at me, my virtuous wife!
Don't latch the door, no matter what happens!
Keep me inside the house—don't throw me out!
Isn't it just what other men in this town do?
In a rush of emotion, I did it too!
Could I ever abandon the girl I loved?
Could I commit the sin of leaving her behind?
There is no person without faults in this world!
Call me inside the house, forgive me,
And take me back, I beg of you!
Open the door, Bhama, should my legs be aching like this?
Open the door, Bhama, should my legs be aching like this?
You promised to care for me like a child,
Why did you forget that song you sang, Bhama?
When I think back to what happened
On the night we spread the mat, my heart aches!
You were the one who said you would revere your husband,
Have the words you spoke when we wed
Just gone in one ear and out the other?
Open the door, Rukku!
My legs are aching terribly!
Open the door, Rukku!
My legs are aching terribly!
Anyone watching will laugh at me, my virtuous wife!
Don't latch the door, no matter what happens!
Keep me inside the house—don't throw me out!
Aunt's daughter, that lovely girl, was yearning for me,
Restless and suffering in pain—
That is what my mother came and told me!
Just to bring joy to my mother's heart,
I tied the thaali (sacred wedding thread)—what else did I do?
Even if I am in the wrong, you must show mercy!
Let bygones be bygones, let what's done be done,
You must let go of your anger!
Open the door, Rukku!
My legs are aching terribly!
Just like the story of Lord Krishna of Gokulam,
My life has turned out the same, my girl!
Like a ball kicked back and forth,
When both of you treat me this way, where can I go?
I have been starving for two days, show some pity!
I beg and plead with you, I will do whatever you say,
Just tell me to come inside!
Open the door, Rukku!
My legs are aching terribly!
Anyone watching will laugh at me, my virtuous wife!
Don't latch the door, no matter what happens!
Keep me inside the house—don't throw me out!
Open the door, Rukku!
My legs are aching terribly!
My legs are aching terribly!
My legs are aching terribly...
