Ha haang!
I'm the village chief's daughter,
that's who I am, boy!
Chorus: Dheemtha thakathimithom
Female: To make fun of me,
who do you think you are here?
Chorus: Dheemtha thakathimithaam
Don't pick a fight with me,
I can beat you with my wealth!
Don't glare at me for nothing,
I will crush your arrogant pride!
Born in the southern land,
I flew across nations,
and returned learning modern ways!
I'm the village chief's daughter,
that's who I am, boy!
Chorus: Dheemtha thakathimithom
Female: To make fun of me,
who do you think you are here?
Chorus: Dheemtha thakathimithaam
...
With a water-lift pole... ah ah ah ah ah
Can you climb a well-sweep pole to pick fruit,
you goat-herder?
Chorus: La la la la laa
Female: In our village, even a bathing buffalo
has never seen someone like him!
Chorus: La la la la laa
I am always—hey!
I am always the queen here!
Every day you will have to serve and work for me!
Oh dear, time is on our side!
Look at the big man, what a pity!
Dheem tha thaka dheem thaa
Dheem tha thaka dheem thaa
Get lost, girls!
You hens without crests (bobbed-hair girls),
you've come cackling around!
We are Jallikattu bulls,
don't try to lock horns with us!
...
...
In a thatched hut... yea yea yea yea
The one who drinks porridge in a thatched hut,
it's our time now to rule the land, girl!
Chorus: La la la la laa
Male: With your bit of schooling, your hair got cut short,
it makes me doubt if you're even a woman!
Chorus: La la la la laa
Where is your saree drape? Where is it,
oh my little mynas?
There is no one here to save you!
What happened to your Western education, girl?
Southern culture is pure gold!
Dheem tha thaka dheem thaa
Male: Thari kida thom
Chorus: Dheem tha thaka dheem thaa
Male: Thigu thigu thigu
A son of the working class,
that's who I am, girl!
Chorus: Dheem tha thaka dheem thaa, yeah!
Male: Hey, to boss me around,
who are you here?
Chorus: Dheem tha thaka dheem thaam
Male: Will this golden, tender body end up bruised?
Don't stir up trouble; hey turkey, don't try to fly!
