Kuthaala kaattukku
Mathaalam yedhukku
Thaanaaga paadumae
Mandhaara poovukku
Maaraappu yedhukku
Moodaama aadumae
Idhu moodaama aadaadhu
Oor koodi paakkudhu
Onna paathaalae aathaadi
Verkkaadha mookkedhu
Oi kuthaala kaattukku
Mathaalam yedhukku
Thaanaaga paadumae
Hey mandhaara poovukku
Maaraappu yedhukku
Moodaama aadumae
Kallazhagar koyil ulla
Unnaattamaa sirpam illa
Etti ninnu enna kollaadhae
Vetkamunnu poiya chollaadhae
Enna vechu paattu kattu
Kaiyil varum nottu kattu
Nottu vandhaa vandha kaiyoda
Vaangi kodu pattu paavaada
Edhirula irukkudhu paniyaaram
Eduthu thaa enakkulla pasi pogum
Idhukkellaam avasara padalaamaa
Irukkudhu kodukkuren poru maamaa
Idhu enna koothu
Pecha maathu
Ini thaangaadhammaa maanae
Oi kuthaala kaattukku
Mathaalam yedhukku
Thaanaaga paadumae
Hey mandhaara poovukku
Maaraappu yedhukku
Moodaama aadumae
Onnaaga thaan neeyum naanum
Ponaal enna kumbakonam
Ippo angae magaamagam thaan
Kaana kaana romba sogam thaan
Ammaadiyo venaa venaa
Pattadhellaam podhum podhum
Ponavanga enna aanaanga
Sorgathaiyae thedi ponaanga
Unnai vittu pirinjida mudiyaadhu
Enakkoru thani sugam kidaiyaadhu
Namakkunnu irukkudhu vayakkaadu
Ozhaikkalaam namakkenna kuraipaadu
Kidaikkumaa maamaa
Vayalum vaazhvum
Adhu pola yogam yedhu
Yei kuthaala kaattukku
Mathaalam yedhukku
Thaanaaga paadumae
Hei mandhaara poovukku
Maaraappu yedhukku
Moodaama aadumae
Idhu moodaama aadaadhu
Oor koodi paakkudhu
Onna paathaalae aathaadi
Verkkaadha mookkedhu
Oi kuthaala kaattukku
Mathaalam yedhukku
Thaanaaga paadumae
Haan mandhaara poovukku
Maaraappu yedhukku
Moodaama aadumae
Why does the Courtallam forest
need a drum?
It sings all on its own!
Why does a mandara flower
need a veil?
It sways without being covered!
This won't sway uncovered like that,
the whole town is gathering to watch!
Oh my, just looking at you,
whose nose wouldn't break into a sweat?
Hey, why does the Courtallam forest
need a drum?
It sings all on its own!
Hey, why does a mandara flower
need a veil?
It sways without being covered!
Inside the Kallazhagar temple,
there is no sculpture quite like you!
Don't torture me by standing at a distance,
and don't make excuses saying you feel shy!
Compose a song about me,
and a bundle of cash will come into your hands!
Once the cash comes in, right away
buy me a silk skirt!
There is a sweet treat right in front of me,
feed it to me to satisfy my hunger!
Why should you be in such a hurry for all this?
It is here, I will give it, just be patient, my dear!
What kind of teasing is this?
Change the topic!
I can't take it anymore, my deer!
Hey, why does the Courtallam forest
need a drum?
It sings all on its own!
Hey, why does a mandara flower
need a veil?
It sways without being covered!
What if you and I together
go to Kumbakonam?
The Mahamaham festival is happening there right now,
but it is truly sad to see what happened!
Oh goodness, no, please no!
What people suffered is more than enough!
What happened to those who went?
They ended up going straight to heaven!
I can never bear to part from you,
I have no happiness of my own without you!
We have our very own farm fields,
we can work hard, so what do we lack?
Can anything be better, my dear?
Our fields and our simple life,
what fortune could ever equal that?
Hey, why does the Courtallam forest
need a drum?
It sings all on its own!
Hey, why does a mandara flower
need a veil?
It sways without being covered!
This won't sway uncovered like that,
the whole town is gathering to watch!
Oh my, just looking at you,
whose nose wouldn't break into a sweat?
Hey, why does the Courtallam forest
need a drum?
It sings all on its own!
Ah, why does a mandara flower
need a veil?
It sways without being covered!
