Here comes, here comes the Queen!
Attention, make way, make way!
Shut your mouth, fold your hands!
Don't cause mischief, tuck in your tail!
When I give a command,
Everyone must obey like a snake trapped in a box!
Sons, husbands, every single one of you!
I am number one, everyone else is zero!
What runs here is a woman's kingdom!
Hush, hush, hush, hush!
Hush, hush, hush, hush, not a peep...!
I want to sing, but I cannot sing!
I want to eat what I crave, but I cannot eat!
I cannot breathe the air of freedom!
I cannot bear the trouble from my wife!
Oh... my Lord!
Everyone must obey like a snake trapped in a box!
Sons, husbands, every single one of you!
Hush, hush, hush, hush!
Hush, hush, hush, hush, not a peep...!
Puff, puff, puff, puff,
I cannot even puff away on a smoke!
I find no pleasure with every drag I take!
I cannot even play a hand of rummy with king and queen!
I cannot play a game of cards inside the house!
What is an elder brother, what is a younger brother,
In a family with no rights of our own?
What is an elder brother, what is a younger brother,
In a family with no rights of our own?
Everyone must obey like a snake trapped in a box!
Sons, husbands, every single one of you!
Hush, hush, hush, hush!
Hush, hush, hush, hush, not a peep...!

I cannot even tie on my dancing bells!
I cannot even beat the rhythm drum!
I cannot sing a thillana (classical rhythmic song)!
I cannot become Mohanambal (famed classical dancer)!
I cannot become Thillana Mohanambal!
Why be afraid, why beg and plead?
Enough of enduring, rise up in revolt!
Let us break the chains of slavery!
Chorus: Yes, let us break them!
Female: Let us shut the mouth that speaks with arrogance!
Chorus: Yes, let us shut it!
Female: Proving we are not cats, but tigers,
Let us create a brand new history!
Chorus: Let us create a brand new history!
