Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka!} (3)
The ox died, and man ate it;
with its hide, he stretched a drum;
strike it hard, Nakka Mukka!
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
{Hit the beat, Nakka Mukka!
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...} (2)
Hey, over at Kunjiramma's house,
chicken curry is boiling hot!
Down at Elephant Gate,
drinks that give a kick are on sale!
Out on Ellis Road,
a spotted deer is standing!
Go hunt it down, boys!
Cook it up and eat it, boys!
Where is it? Right here! Give me a break, oh God!
{Hit the beat, Nakka Mukka!
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
{Hit the beat, Nakka Mukka!
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...} (2)
Hey haan...
Hey, drop it like that...
Ah, that is right...
Hey, propped up on rough cornerstones,
the thatched hut stands.
Marked by stones driven in the mud,
the nursery field lies.
Oh no, three harvest seasons a year
have been reduced to just one, brother!
The paddy kept out to dry
has all gone to pay off shop debts, brother!
The saplings planted in the mud
have dried up like dry fish, brother!
Half an empty stomach, a quarter stomach,
only hunger everywhere, how many starvation deaths!
Where is it? Right here! Beat the drums, beat them hard!
Let the ruler hear our cry!
Hit the beat, Nakka Mukka!
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Haan... Yee... Hoo... Haan haan... Ye ohooo!
Dizzy and spinning round and round, Rathinam
runs around with his head spinning!
Rushing, bustling, restless, the city
stares wide awake like an owl!
We need silver coins to survive, man!
Show some mercy, oh God!
Beat the drums, beat them hard!
{Hit the beat, Nakka Mukka!
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Ahaan... yeah, just like that!
Ye oho ho... yeah, that is the way!
The auto meter is ticking fast,
the chatter is all in English,
a quarter bottle for the night,
dawn has arrived, wake up!
Hit it, rock it, strike it hard!
Hit the beat, Nakka Mukka!
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
{Hit the beat, Nakka Mukka!
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...
Nakka Mukka, Nakka Mukka...} (2)
