I am the boss around here, Nallamuthu's grandson!
Holding a silver cane, I am coming to play!
Holding a golden cane, I am coming to tie the wedding knot!
I am coming, I am coming, I am coming, I am coming!
I am coming, I am coming, I am coming, I am coming!
I am the boss around here, Nallamuthu's grandson!
Holding a silver cane, I am coming to play!
Holding a golden cane, I am coming to tie the wedding knot!
I am coming, I am coming, I am coming, I am coming!
I am coming, I am coming...
Sadugudu, sadugudu, sadugudu, sadugudu!
Two mountain-sized goats,
Slipped and fell with their ropes tied,
Even an elephant hesitated to catch them,
Was it not me who lifted them right up?
Sadugudu, sadugudu, sadugudu, sadugudu!
Sadugudu, sadugudu, sadugudu, sadugudu!
Sweet rice cakes,
Snacks made of sesame seeds,
Was it not me who bought and kept them?
Were you not the one who came and ate them?
It was you, it was you, it was you, it was you!
It was you, it was you, it was you, it was you!
I am the boss around here, Nallamuthu's grandson!
Holding a silver cane, I am coming to play!
Holding a golden cane, I am coming to tie the wedding knot!
I am coming, I am coming, I am coming, I am coming!
I am coming, I am coming, I am coming, I am coming!
Sadugudu, sadugudu, sadugudu, sadugudu!
The wind blows across the riverbank,
Churning up the muddy river water,
Across the wide river sands we gaze upon,
The wind blows and blows!
Sadugudugudu, sadugudugudu!
Sadugudugudu, sadugudugudu!
The time to cook and eat has come,
Sweat beads on the tip of the nose,
The cooking pot boils at my uncle's house,
The chicken curry smells so delicious!
Serve it, serve it, serve it, serve it, serve it, serve it!
Serve it, serve it, serve it, serve it, serve it, serve it!
Those useless fellows looking for trouble,
Making them run and putting them in their place,
Crushing the pride of my enemies,
Is the proud tradition of my lineage!
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi!
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi!
I am the boss around here, Nallamuthu's grandson!
Holding a silver cane, I am coming to play!
Holding a golden cane, I am coming to tie the wedding knot!
I am coming, I am coming, I am coming, I am coming!
I am coming, I am coming, I am coming, I am coming... hey!
