மன்னரு வந்தாரு
இப்போ மேரேஜ்க்கு பாடி ஏத்தி
ஜோடியத்தான் தேடுறாரு இப்போ
(ஜோடியத்தான் தேடுறாரு இப்போ)
The king/groom has arrived
Now bulking up his body for marriage
He is searching for a partner now
(He is searching for a partner now)
கல்யாண மாலைக்குத்தான்
காலம் போன காலத்தில
கப்புல் ஆக பாக்குறாரு இப்போ
For the matrimonial bride hunt
At a time when age has already passed by
He is now searching for his match
ஏ ஊரெல்லாம் பாத்தாரு
ஓயாம பாத்தாரு
ஓய்ஞ்சி தேந்சி காஞ்சி போச்சு
சாருக்குத்தான் இல்லை ஃபேர்ரு
He looked all across the town
He searched relentlessly without rest
He got tired, worn out, and frustrated
He says there is no good match left anymore

Hey, whether it is love
Or whether it is arranged
You need luck, uncle!
ஏய் கேட்ச் விட்ட கைக்கும்
பக்கா மேட்ச் ஒய்ப்பும்
சத்தியமா தேடினாலும் கெடைக்காதுங்க
ஏய் மொக்கையான ஃநைப்பும்
மேரேஜ்ஜான லைப்பும்
நிச்சயமா ஒண்ணத்தையும் செரைக்காதுங்க
Hey, for a hand that missed a catch
And for a perfectly matching wife
Even if you search till eternity, you won't get them easily
Hey, a blunt knife
And a married life
Will definitely not shave or cut anything cleanly
தாடியில் பாதி இப்போ வெள்ளை ஆச்சுங்க
ஜோடிய தேடுறதே தொல்லை ஆச்சுங்க
அட ஸ்டார்டிங்கு போனா என்ன எண்டுலதான் பாருங்க
லாஸ்டுல தான் ஃபஸ்ட் வரும் எஸ்டிஆர்ரு ஃபேன்னுங்க
Half of the beard has now turned white
Searching for a partner has become a head-ache
Hey, I am not how I was at the start, watch me at the end
Only at the end will I finish first, after all I am an STR fan!

Despite hitting the gym to bulk up and searching high and low across the town, he finds no luck in either love marriages or arranged setups, noticing his beard turn gray in the process.
