Oh, in the handsome charm of the warrior of Madurai,
And in the fierce pride of a bull's horns,
My poor heart got entangled!
Come, my sweet jaggery girl,
Just one look catches fire like a matchbox,
Your uncle's heart has caught flame!
Give me space to climb onto your chest,
Grant me the boon to stroke your mustache,
Like the waist-cloth that you wear,
I am coming along, clinging close to you, my man!
Mm... I am coming along, my man,
I am coming with you, my man...
I am coming with you, my man...
Just for all of Theni to see,
My precious gold, I'll lift you up,
All of the sweet honey,
Shall I scoop and pour it out for you?
So that the whole town looks on with envy,
Your uncle will unite with you,
A hundred children,
Shall I bear and bring them into the world?
I leaned like a comforting shade,
I am indeed the mighty bull,
Turning you into a water pot, my beloved dark-skinned girl,
Lift me up and carry me away just once, my girl!
I am coming with you, my girl!
I am coming with you, my girl!
I am coming with you, my girl!
I am coming with you, my girl!
Your uncle's eyes are sharp like blades,
Reaching deep into my inner heart,
Do not gently pierce and kill me...
Hey, you owl-eyed girl,
Sharp like a kitchen cutting-knife,
Do not sorrowfully slice me down!
Hmm... oo... at the edge of your saree pallu,
With the sweet fragrance given by mother,
As long as I live, I will hold you in my heart.
Right upon your uncle's chest,
Just like a little lamb,
To sleep every single day,
I would take ten lifetimes!
Hey Pechi... my guiding deity,
Transforming me and making me brand new,
Making it my soul, I place it in your hands, my girl!
I am coming with you, my girl!
I am coming with you, my girl!
I too am coming with you, my girl!
I too am coming with you, my girl!
I am coming with you, my girl!
I am coming with you, my girl!
I too am coming with you, my girl!
I too am coming with you, my girl!
