Pillaiyaar koyil theru kadaisi veettulaIn the last house of Pillaiyar Temple Street,
Indha pillaiyaaru pasangalathaan ketka aalillaThere is no one to question or control these bachelor boys.
Pillaiyaaru koyil theru kadaisi veettulaIn the last house of Pillaiyar Temple Street,

Kooththu aarambichaa oorathoonga viduvadhillaOnce our celebration begins, we don't let the town sleep.
