Langu langu labakkaru
Otturaanga scooteru
Dingu dingu dimmikkaru
Suthipaaru tractoru
Muttiyila soru pongi
Moodi vachcha korangu nee

Vakillaatha amukku nee
Vettikatha pesayila
Soriya vaikkum serangu nee

Langu langu labakkaru,
Riding around on a scooter!
Dingu dingu dimikkaru,
Look around, here comes the tractor!
Cooking rice in a small pot,
You are a monkey that keeps it covered!
Don't come bumping into me,
I'll smash your nose, so step aside!
You can't even cook rice in a bowl,
You useless little nuisance!
When you babble your silly gossip,
You are like an itch that makes us scratch!
I'll roll you with a rolling pin,
And flatten you like a chapati!
I'll toss you into hot oil,
And fry you crisp, my little princess!
Langu langu labakkaru,
Riding around on a scooter!
Dingu dingu dimikkaru,
Look around, here comes the tractor!
Your eyes are round like chicken eggs,
Those aren't eyes, they are bakery buns!
I'll make an omelette out of you,
And gobble you right up!
Why try to compete with me now?
Stop making such a fuss!
If you show off and jump too much,
You will end up flattened like dry cow dung!
Drop it, drop your arrogance,
You are just a bean pod hanging on a vine!
If I pluck you and cook you in a curry,
Will you ever be able to stand tall?
Only your body grew tall,
While your brain has gone completely dull!
On your torn pair of shorts,
Even the hook has gone missing!
Langu langu labakkaru,
Riding around on a scooter!
Dingu dingu dimikkaru,
Look around, here comes the tractor!
Cooking rice in a small pot,
You are a monkey that keeps it covered!
Don't come bumping into me,
I'll smash your nose, so step aside!
You can't even cook rice in a bowl,
You useless little nuisance!
When you babble your silly gossip,
You are like an itch that makes us scratch!
I'll roll you with a rolling pin,
And flatten you like a chapati!
I'll toss you into hot oil,
And fry you crisp, my little princess!
Langu langu labakkaru,
Riding around on a scooter!
Dingu dingu dimikkaru,
Look around, here comes the tractor!
