Oh Kaattu Muni, Karuppu Saami!
Hunter Vettaiyappa, Madurai Veeran!
All you guardian gods standing watch,
you must protect our clan,
and let our kin and people honour you!
Well-built, gorgeous young woman,
she has really and truly
wrapped me around her finger!
Hey, girl as lovely as a flower,
pretty budding beauty wearing a bindi!
Bursting like a sparkling fountain firework,
you shower a gentle drizzle over me.
Aren't you the glistening,
mouth-watering anchovy fish?
And aren't I the eel
who will swallow you up whole?
Well-built, gorgeous young woman,
she has really and truly
wrapped me around her finger!
With a rich and glowing complexion,
and a shapely body soft as a flower,
can I gently pull you in
and hold you close?
That will only stir up trouble,
and I do not trust your intentions!
Step away from me a bit
and keep your distance!
Oh sweet young doe full of love,
dripping honey of the jasmine bloom!
When her heart blossoms
like a fresh jasmine flower,
she will fall and sway
to the melodic rhythm of my song!
Aren't you the glistening,
mouth-watering anchovy fish?
And aren't I the eel
who will swallow you up whole?
Well-built, gorgeous young woman,
she has really and truly
wrapped me around her finger!
Like a red fish over a red banana blossom,
like a flash of fire,
you come like a flame
and raise the heat in me.
I was standing here with bold pride,
so do not strike me down with your eyes!
Rushing in like an arrow,
you try to pierce right through me.
I am an untouched gentle breeze,
sweet pure honey from the Kolli hills!
In this fresh bloom of our youth,
we will look as lovely as a portrait.
I will give you something,
I will give you one thing—
right here, a sweet seal of love
I will come and place!
Aren't you the glistening,
mouth-watering anchovy fish?
And aren't I the eel
who will swallow you up whole?
Well-built, gorgeous young woman,
she has really and truly
wrapped me around her finger!
Hey, girl as lovely as a flower,
pretty budding beauty wearing a bindi!
Bursting like a sparkling fountain firework,
you shower a gentle drizzle over me.
Aren't you the glistening,
mouth-watering anchovy fish?
And aren't I the eel
who will swallow you up whole?
