Kumkum kumkum kumkum
Kumbakonam veththala
Kamkam kamkam kamkam
Kaambu innum muththala
Kumbakonam veththala
Kaambu innum muththala
Kondaangadaa kottaa paakku
Madichchu vechchu pottaa sevakkum naakku
Anthiraththila panthal podalaam vaa mama
Anga naam panthu aadalaam
Hoi palpalaangu palpalaangu doi
En mama pallaavaram salpalaangudaa
Kumbakonam veththala
Kumkum kumkum kumkum
Kaambu innum muththala
Kamkam kamkam
Annaadam paththu perudaa en mama
Pinnaala suththum paaradaa
Kattaana mottu naanadaa needhaanae
Thottaalae kottum theanudaa
Kutti madhura pakkam aalu
Kai pattaa kodukkanum nee maalu
Ada kitta nerungi vanthu kaelu
Naan ettu padi karakkum balu
Ponnu ooru periyamaedudaa
En mama porantha edam chinna oorudaa
Ponnu ooru periyamaedudaa
En mama porantha edam chinna oorudaa
Kumbakonam veththala haei
Kaambu innum muththala
Haei kattaana muththam thenudaa
Naanthaan kattaatha pisthaa yaarudaa
Singaara thanga thaerudaa ennai
Seendaathaa komban yaarudaa
Wiskey odachchu konjam podu
Naan baski edukka ippa moodu
Huskey koralil konjam paadu
Haei appo porakkum oru soodu
Tap-pu malae oosi podudaa
Nee pottaa paattu varum kettu paarudaa
Haei tap-pu malae oosi podudaa
Nee pottaa paattu varum kettu paarudaa
Kumkum kumkum kumkum

Haehaehae haei

Kum-kum, kum-kum, kum-kum!
Kumbakonam betel leaf,
Kam-kam, kam-kam, kam-kam!
Its stem is still tender!
Kumbakonam betel leaf,
Its stem is still tender!
Bring out the betel nut!
Fold the leaf and chew, your tongue will turn red!
Come on, darling, let's set up a canopy high in the air,
And play ball together up there!
Hoy, palbalangu palbalangu doy!
My man is the slick fellow from Pallavaram!
Kumbakonam betel leaf,
Kum-kum, kum-kum!
Its stem is still tender,
Kam-kam, kam-kam!
Every day, ten men follow me, my darling,
Look at them hovering around me!
I am a shapely flower bud,
Touch me, and sweet honey will overflow!
This girl is from around Madurai,
If your hand touches me, you must pay the price!
Come close and ask me,
I am rich milk that fills eight pots!
This girl is from Periyamedu,
But my man was born in a tiny town!
This girl is from Periyamedu,
But my man was born in a tiny town!
Kumbakonam betel leaf, hey!
Its stem is still tender...
Hey, a tight kiss is sweet like honey!
Who could ever tame a hotshot like me?
I am a dazzling golden chariot,
Is there any tough guy who hasn't tried to flirt with me?
Pop open the whisky and pour a little,
I'm in the mood to do some squats now!
Sing a little in a husky voice,
Hey, that's when the real heat will ignite!
Put the needle on the record,
Once you drop it, the music plays—just listen!
Hey, put the needle on the record,
Once you drop it, the music plays—just listen!
Kum-kum, kum-kum, kum-kum!
Kumbakonam betel leaf,
Kam-kam, kam-kam, kam-kam!
Its stem is still tender!
Kumbakonam betel leaf,
Its stem is still tender!
Bring out the betel nut!
Fold the leaf and chew, your tongue will turn red!
Come on, darling, let's set up a canopy high in the air,
And play ball together up there!
Hoy, palbalangu palbalangu doy!
My man is the slick fellow from Pallavaram!
Kumbakonam betel leaf,
Hey hey hey hey!
Its stem is still tender!
Hey hey hey hey...!
