தோடே தோடே தொங்கட்டான் தோடே
ஏ ஊடே ஊடே குச்சினத்த கூடே
சோடி சேர சொவகாட்ட போறேன்
ஓ தாலி ஏற கொட்டுமேளம் கொட்டுமே

Earrings, dangling ear ornaments
Oh running around, a cage built with sticks
To unite with my partner, I am heading to the cornfield
Oh when tying the wedding knot, wedding drums will beat
Wedding drums will beat
சீரே சீரே கடப்பார சீரே
என் சோடி யாரு நடுகாரன் பாரேன்
தோளே லோலே தாய்மாமன் தோளிலே
போவாளே போவாளே சடங்கான பொம்பளே
Dowry and gifts, crowbar-shaped heavy gifts
Look at my partner, he is a fair mediator
Shoulder to shoulder, on the maternal uncle's shoulder
She will go, she will go, the woman performing rituals
சீரு செனதி சனகாரன் தெரட்டி
ஏன் ஊர கூட்டி வருவாண்டி உங்கப்பனே
ஏறெடுத்தும் பார்க்காத பத்தினி
Gathering dowry, relatives, and kinfolk together
Your father will bring the whole village along
A chaste woman who does not look at any other man
சீரு செனதி சனகாரன் தெரட்டி
ஏன் ஊர கூட்டி வருவாண்டி உங்கப்பனே
ஏறெடுத்தும் பார்க்காத பத்தினி
Gathering dowry, relatives, and kinfolk together
Your father will bring the whole village along
A chaste woman who does not look at any other man
ராணி ராணி மவராசி மதனி
ஏ கோனி கோனி குரும்பாட்டு கொம்பு நீ
வாண்டே வாண்டே வனகட்டு பூண்டே
ஏய் வாங்க வாங்க விருந்தாக்கி போடுமே
வாங்க வாங்க விருந்தாக்கி போடுமே
Queen, queen, fortunate sister-in-law
Hey sack by sack, you are the horn of playful songs
Little child, little child, wild herb of the forest
Hey come, come, serve us a grand feast
Come, come, serve us a grand feast
கீச்சே கீச்சே குக்குராணி கீச்சே
கீச்சே கீச்சே குக்குராணி கீச்சே
