Listen, girl... to the urumi drum...
Listen, girl, to the urumi drum!
Match it with an angry beat!
Kim-kim, kim-kim, kim-kim
Dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum
Listen, girl, to the urumi drum!
Match it with an angry beat!
Watch your man closely,
the village melody and style!
Watch your man closely,
the village melody and style!
We shall meet at the garden gate
In the morning, evening, night till the dark
We shall meet, be together
In the morning, evening, night till the dark
Your rhythms are wild jungle beats!
Look at this girl, uncle... ha!
Your rhythms are wild jungle beats!
Look at this girl, uncle!
Sing along, my songbird!
It is all dance and celebration, ho ho!
It is all dance and celebration, ho ho!
Dadada thadhada thadi
Dada dadada dada
Dadada thadhada thadi
Dada dada dada
At the temple, you hear one kind of drum,
beating away without stopping, girl!
Oh girl, beating away without stopping!
If you listen to songs from the play of Kovalan,
hands will clap along without fail!
Hands will clap along without fail!
Abandoning Chandramathi in the forest,
shall I sing that tale?
Shall I break down the whole truth for you?
Break down the whole truth,
shall I break down the whole truth for you?
Listen, girl, to the urumi drum!
Match it with an angry beat!
Watch your man closely,
the village melody and style!
Oh my sweetie, oh my uncle with a tuft!
My heart desires you!
Oh my beauty, aha, in your hand,
your dance is with me!
Larappa baarappa, larappa baarappa
Laala laala la
Let's travel across Western lands,
and see modern civilizations!
Change your clothes here,
change who you are over there!
Change who you are over there!
Our ancestors were not fools,
we have our own rich culture!
Oh girl, we have our own rich culture!
Change out of clothes that show your knees,
and walk with the grace of a Tamil woman!
Yes, girl, walk with the grace of a Tamil woman!
With thoughts as pure as Kannagi,
come, speak of love!
Speak out everything in your heart,
and fulfill your desires!
Listen, girl, to the urumi drum!
Match it with an angry beat!
Watch your man closely,
the village melody and style!
Dadada thadhada thadi
