Koluse koluse esa paadu koluse
Koluse koluse esa paadu koluse
Nee paadaathirunthaal naan paadhai marapen
Nee kelaathirunthaal naan vaazhaathirupen
Aaga moththathil nee thantha saththathil
Thaen vanthu raththahil thiththithathae
Koluse koluse esa paadu koluse
Koluse koluse esa paadu koluse….ae….ae….

Oh anklet, oh anklet, sing along, oh anklet!
Oh anklet, oh anklet, sing along, oh anklet!
If you do not sing, I will lose my way.
If you do not listen, I cannot go on living.
All in all, from the sweet sound you made,
Honey flowed and sweetened my blood.
Oh anklet, oh anklet, sing along, oh anklet!
Oh anklet, oh anklet, sing along, oh anklet... hey...
To the west of the village, beside the pond,
Stands a solitary palm tree,
And the town's commotion has quieted down.
For this chrysanthemum to blossom like a lotus,
The right moment has arrived,
And my forehead feels calm and cool.
To share wedding betel leaves in the coming month of Chithirai,
Good fortune has smiled upon us.
For the saree that never got trapped before,
A sweet test has arrived now.
Oh anklet, oh anklet, sing along, oh anklet!
Oh anklet, oh anklet, sing along, oh anklet... hey...
Female: If you do not sing, I will lose my way.
Male: If you do not listen, I cannot go on living.
Female: All in all, from the sweet sound you made,
Honey flowed and sweetened my blood.
Oh anklet, oh anklet, sing along, oh anklet!
Oh anklet, oh anklet, sing along, oh anklet... hey...
After bathing in the river, your six-foot-long hair,
You gathered and knotted up,
And pinned fresh flowers in it!
Why did Manmathan (god of love) come to hide
Inside that six-foot hair,
While I dream of our bridal bed?
Catching a star just by tossing a dhoti—
How do I explain such a marvel?
What can I say? How can I hide it?
There is no lock that can keep a flower closed.
Oh anklet, oh anklet...
Female: Mmm...
Male: Sing along, oh anklet!
Female: Mmm...
Male: Oh anklet, oh anklet, sing along, oh anklet!
If you do not sing, I will lose my way.
Female: If you do not listen, I cannot go on living.
Both: All in all, from the sweet sound you made,
Honey flowed and sweetened my blood.
Oh anklet, oh anklet...
Female: Mmm...
Male: Sing along, oh anklet!
Female: Mmm...
Male: Oh anklet, oh anklet, sing along, oh anklet... hey...
