Manthirichu vitta kozhi ellarkkum
Mandayila gaali gaali
Hey endhirichu vanangikadaa empaatta

Thakidathom thakidathom thakidathom
Thakida thaka thimi
Ettu shruthi kattayila
Metteduthu paaduven

You are all like bewitched chickens,
with totally empty heads!
Hey, stand up and bow down to me,
and understand my song at least now!
On a high eighth-scale pitch,
I will set a tune and sing!
I'll teach tricks even to your father,
and dance on one leg!
Thagidathom thagidathom thagidathom,
Thagida thaga thimi!
On a high eighth-scale pitch,
I will set a tune and sing!
I'll teach tricks even to your father,
and dance on one leg!
Beating the rhythm and playing the drum,
I will bring the whole town together!
You are all like bewitched chickens,
with totally empty heads!
Hey, stand up and bow down to me,
and understand my song at least now!
Hey, you pumpkin head!
This is one clever rooster—
right from inside the egg,
it sings cock-a-doodle-doo!
It even claps its hands to the rhythm of thakka-dhimi!
This is one clever rooster—
right from inside the egg,
it sings cock-a-doodle-doo!
It even claps its hands to the rhythm of thakka-dhimi!
Chinnappa and Kittappa
are just like uncles to me!
Without knowing how deep the water is,
why did you step your foot in?
Right to the peak of Pachamalai hill,
I am the champion who sang out loud!
If you want to know what a massive lie is,
just ask this big brother!
To challenge and compete with me,
who is there? Tell me!
You are all like bewitched chickens,
with totally empty heads!
Hey, stand up and bow down to me,
and understand my song at least now!
Even if it dives into the Ganges
and bathes deep underwater,
a crow will never turn white!
And the sun will never rise in the west!
Even if it dives into the Ganges
and bathes deep underwater,
a crow will never turn white!
And the sun will never rise in the west!
Don't try to ride a horse
inside a tiny clay pot!
In the water of a coconut shell,
don't pretend you see an ocean!
He's the kind of guy who can squeeze
a whole elephant into a small pot!
Know-it-all Ekambaram
is a clever master of tricks!
If you mess with me out of stubborn pride,
I am a dangerous man to cross!
You are all like bewitched chickens,
with totally empty heads!
Hey, stand up and bow down to me,
and understand my song at least now!
On a high eighth-scale pitch,
I will set a tune and sing!
I'll teach tricks even to your father,
and dance on one leg!
Beating the rhythm and playing the drum,
I will bring the whole town together!
You are all like bewitched chickens,
with totally empty heads!
Hey, stand up and bow down to me,
and understand my song at least now!
