Striking the dance sticks,
Shall I dance like a peacock in a half-saree?
Dressed in sweet silk,
Shall I sing like a charming cuckoo?
As everyone dances and sings,
And joy keeps growing,
The whole town is filled with dance and song,
It is a grand celebration!
As everyone dances and sings,
And joy keeps growing,
The whole town is filled with dance and song,
It is a grand celebration!
A hundred relatives gathered together,
A bond that unites us all,
Wishing for great fame and success,
With hearts full of blessings,
This is truly our family!
Aaha... aaha...
Aaha... aaha...
Striking the dance sticks,
Shall I dance like a peacock in a half-saree?
Aaha... aaha...
Aaha... aaha...
A little secret in your ear,
Shall I whisper it to you?
Grandfather's love story,
Shall I tell it now?
How this charming young girl
Became our grandma—shall I tell that tale?
The duet you danced and sang to back then,
Shall I sing that smash hit song?
Why do you want all this trouble,
Hey, little girl?
We don't need that old story here!
Like the love of our generation,
Can anything today compare?
Can the love of this modern era
Ever give that kind of thrill?
Grandma, grandma, you were amazing!
You outshone everyone!
Hahahahaha!
Grandma, grandma, you were amazing!
You outshone everyone!
A hundred relatives gathered together,
A bond that unites us all,
Wishing for great fame and success,
With hearts full of blessings,
This is truly our family!
Aaha... aaha...
Aaha... aaha...
Striking the dance sticks,
Shall I dance like a peacock in a half-saree?
Dressed in sweet silk,
Shall I sing like a charming cuckoo?
Enough of your singing,
It has gotten so late!
All the food I cooked
Has gone cold... hey... hey...
Enough of your singing,
It has gotten so late!
All the food I cooked
Has gone cold...
Oh, just a little more, a little more,
Serve a little more sambar!
The kootu, poriyal, and payasam,
Oh, they are all so delicious!
Who am I? Ooh... ooh...
...
This is more than enough,
Our hunger is satisfied!
This is more than enough,
Our hunger is satisfied!
Chorus: Just like this, once again,
We shall all gather together!
This is more than enough,
Our hunger is satisfied!
Our hunger is satisfied!
Our hunger is satisfied!
Striking the dance sticks,
Shall I dance like a peacock in a half-saree?
Dressed in sweet silk,
Shall I sing like a charming cuckoo?
As everyone dances and sings,
And joy keeps growing,
The whole town is filled with dance and song,
It is a grand celebration!
As everyone dances and sings,
And joy keeps growing,
The whole town is filled with dance and song,
It is a grand celebration!
A hundred relatives gathered together,
A bond that unites us all,
Wishing for great fame and success,
With hearts full of blessings,
This is truly our family!
Aaha... aaha...
