Adiyae….alamelu aduththavoottu aandaalu
Down aalu vanthirukkaandi
Drousar-oda ninnurukkaandi
Naduvaala vuttukittu naalu peru suththikittu
Kottungadi kummiyaththaan thattungadi kaigalathaan
Kottaampatti karuppaayi
Pattanaththu potti mavan paaru
A B C D Padichchirukkaan
Cigarette kaiyila pudichchurukkaan
Vellaikkaaran kollu peran
Kottaampatti karuppaayi
Pattanaththu potti mavan paaru
A B C D Padichchirukkaan
Cigarette kaiyila pudichchurukkaan
Vellaikkaaran kollu peran
Kottaampatti karuppaayi
Machchaan moonjithaan manthi polaththaan

Vetti podanum aaththaa
Machchaan moonjithaan manthi polaththaan

Hey Alamelu, and Andal from next door!
A guy from town has arrived, girls!
He is standing here wearing shorts, girls!
Put him in the middle and circle around him,
Clap your hands, girls, and dance to the beat!
Kottampatti Karuppayi!
Look at this soft boy from the city,
He has studied his ABCDs,
He is holding a cigarette in his hand,
Like a great-grandson of a white man!
Kottampatti Karuppayi!

Like a great-grandson of a white man!
Kottampatti Karuppayi...
My suitor's face looks just like a monkey,
Grinning and baring his teeth when you look at him!
His mischievous tail has grown too long,
It needs to be chopped off, mother!
My suitor's face looks just like a monkey,
Grinning and baring his teeth when you look at him!
His mischievous tail has grown too long,
It needs to be chopped off, mother!
Otherwise, he will try to jump at us!
Ha! Can this sturdy village girl ever be fooled?
The bridegroom showed up,
Right inside the village grove...
The bridegroom showed up,
Right inside the village grove...
Kottampatti Karuppayi!
Look at this soft boy from the city,
He has studied his ABCDs,
He is holding a cigarette in his hand,
Like a great-grandson of a white man!
Kottampatti Karuppayi!
...
Grazing goats along the riverbank,
I am a simple, young girl!
If anyone talks with sly, teasing glances,
I am the kind to pounce right back!
Grazing goats along the riverbank,
I am a simple, young girl!
If anyone talks with sly, teasing glances,
I am the kind to pounce right back!
He refused to listen and got caught,
Trapped by a proud, clever girl!
Trouble has caught up with him, mister,
All his dignity is gone, mister!
Trouble has caught up with him, mister,
All his dignity is gone, mister!
Kottampatti Karuppayi!
