Ohooo ohoooii
World-famous chatterbox,
Get aside and go away, girl!
If you exaggerate stories too much,
I will perform a spell on you and go!
உலக வாயாடி
ஒதுங்கி நீ போடி
கத ரொம்ப அளந்தா
உன்ன மந்திரிச்சி போவேண்டி
World-famous chatterbox,
Get aside and go away, girl!
If you have real courage,
Stand here, why are you scaring like a ghost?
உலக வாயாடி
ஒதுங்கி நீ போடி
ஒரு தில்லு இருந்தா நில்லு
என்னாத்துக்கு பூச்சாண்டி
Even if you are a queen,
Respect is needed, needed!
For a man to tie the knot with you,
You need to change completely.
மஹாராணியா இருந்தாலுமே
மரியாத வேணும் வேணும்
ஒரு ஆம்பள முடி போடவே
முழுசா நீ மாற வேணும்
You talk big without doing anything real,
Why are you such a troublesome case?
Hey girl, hey!
வெறும் வாயிலே மொழம் போடுற
வெவகாரம் ஏண்டி
அடி அடியே ஏய்
World-famous chatterbox,
Get aside and go away, girl!
If you exaggerate stories too much,
I will perform a spell on you and go!
Hey girl...
World-famous chatterbox...
உலக வாயாடி
ஒதுங்கி நீ போடி
கத ரொம்ப அளந்தா
உன்ன மந்திரிச்சி போவேண்டி
அடியே...உலக வாயாடி ..
Without cooking rice with firewood,
Without doing any work all day long,
Because of your arrogance roaming the streets,
I feel like breaking your legs... ah...
உலய்ய வெச்சு சோறும் ஆக்காம
பொழுதண்ணிக்கும் வேல பாக்காம
தெருவ சுத்தி வர திமிறால
ஒடிபேண்டீ உன்கால ...ஆஆ ...
If you stumble around without acting like a young woman,
The village will talk bad about it.
Without having a grand wedding ceremony,
You try to live as an independent person.
சிறு பொண்ணா நீ இல்லாம தள்ளாடினா
அத என்னணானு பேசும் ஊரு
ஒரு கல்யாணம் கச்சேரி பண்ணாமலே
தனி ஆளா நீ ஆவ போற
Understanding what is good and what is bad,
A woman should act accordingly with understanding.
If you think of playing around,
It will end up becoming a disaster...
எது நல்லது கெட்டது தெரிஞ்சி
அத செய்யணும் பொம்பள புரிஞ்சி
விளையாட நெனெச்சாலே
வினையாகி போகுமே
World-famous chatterbox,
Get aside and go away, girl!
If you exaggerate stories too much,
I will perform a spell on you and go!
Hey girl...
உலக வாயாடி
ஒதுங்கி நீ போடி
கத ரொம்ப அளந்தா
உன்ன மந்திரிச்சி போவேண்டி
அடியே...
Ah... the sound of bangles
Is like a temple song,
The sound of anklets is like a love note,
Coming to collide with my soul,
I too will open a shop to make a relationship with you... ah...
வளவி சத்தம் கோயில் பாட்டாக
கொலுசு சத்தம் காதல் சீட்டாக
உசுர வந்து மோத
கட போட உறவானேன் நான்கூட..ஆஆ ..
Excessively at all times,
If you celebrate,
It will show its consequences later.
The ancestors taught us the limits,
Why go beyond those limits?
அளவில்லாம முப்போதும்
கொண்டாடினா
அது பின்னால காட்டும் வேல
அளவு வேணும்னு முன்னோர்கள்
சொன்னாங்களே
அத என்னாட்டி போவ கீழ
A woman possesses responsibility,
If you honor that, glory will follow.
If you just remain humble...
There will be no damage at all...
ஒரு பெண்ணிடம் உள்ளது பொறுப்பு
அத நம்பிட வந்திடும் சிறப்பு
பணிவா நீ இருந்தாலே
கிடையாது சேதாரமே
World-famous chatterbox,
Get aside and go away, girl!
If you exaggerate stories too much,
I will perform a spell on you and go!
உலக வாயாடி
ஒதுங்கி நீ போடி
கத ரொம்ப அளந்தா
உன்ன மந்திரிச்சி போவேண்டி
Hey.. hey..
World-famous chatterbox,
Get aside and go away, girl!
If you have real courage,
Stand here, why are you scaring like a ghost?
ஹேய் ஹேய்
உலக வாயாடி
ஒதுங்கி நீ போடி
ஒரு தில்லு இருந்தா நில்லு
என்னாத்துக்கு பூச்சாண்டி
Even if you are a queen,
Respect is needed, needed!
For a man to tie the knot with you,
You need to change completely.
