Hey Sarasu, come grab a good bargain, girl!
Who is pure gold?
This whole town will tell you.
With such a dazzling smile,
The whole town looks so beautiful!
The love in our hearts,
Will hug you tight and speak.
All the surrounding villages,
Will fall in line, just watch!
Hey girl in the polka-dot blouse,
Hey girl draped in an eight-yard sari,
Shall I buy your hair ribbon on credit?
Or should I just close my eyes and sleep alone?
Wearing an eight-yard dhoti,
In a berry-red shirt,
Coming to pick trouble with me, mister?
I won't fall for you,
With all your sweet talk!
Over there in the backyard field,
Female: Ah?
Male: There is a six-foot water pump,
Female: Ah?
Male: And no one is around,
Come on, my sweetheart!
Nobody is there,
So you better shut your mouth!
For every single human being,
The earth is common property.
Going to the city,
I never got to study.
In our village council,
They never opened a school.
Female: That's true!
They claim the gods got angry,
The oracle dances in a trance and says!
If our community gets educated,
Who will be left to serve as slaves?
If we speak this truth, is it a sin against god?
Female: Ooh!
Male: Will that god come down,
And poke our eyes out?
Female: Hit it right there!
If we speak this truth, is it a sin against god?
Will that god come down,
And poke our eyes out?
Hey girl in the polka-dot blouse,
Hey girl draped in an eight-yard sari,
There is a touring cinema tent, girl,
Showing a twilight movie, girl!
I came running right away searching for you,
And I'm totally out of breath, girl!
A green chili looks so glossy,
Sparkling the moment you look at it.
If you snap it, tears will fill your eyes,
Will it turn to honey once you bite it?
Hey, gorgeous beauty,
I am your future minister!
Female: I am an unbroken cashew nut,
Yet you are trying to swallow me whole!
Hey girl in the polka-dot blouse,
Hey girl draped in an eight-yard sari,
Shall I buy your hair ribbon on credit?
Or should I just close my eyes and sleep alone?
Go to sleep!
Male: Come alone then!
If teeth touch the pot of milk,
Will it really go bad?
Hey, when the stalk is plucked from a betel leaf,
Does its spicy kick rise?
The spring water has dried up, man,
In this stone well, man!
Hey, watch how you talk to me,
I am full of trouble, man!
Hey, you wretched rival girl,
Female: Hey!
Male: I am a sharp Thiruppaachi blade!
Female: Oh boy!
Then why has your sharp edge gone blunt?
Hey, for the very first time,
Your face has completely fallen!
Shall I drink churned buttermilk?
Shall I snap and fold the millet stalk?
The contest between you and me is over,
Thinking about it made my dhoti soak in sweat!
Hold tight to the greasy pole,
Beat the drum in Valayapatti style,
All eight towns will hear our song,
The pin inside my blouse is poking me, mister!
Two raw fruits are hanging ripe,
And a charging bull is ready,
Shall I bump and clash against you,
Or shall I stand here shaking...
Female: Shaking what?
Male: Shall I stand here shaking...
Female: Tell me properly!
Male: Shaking and shaking,
Shaking and shaking,
Shaking and shaking,
Shall I stand here wagging my tail?
That is quite a melody, man!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This upbeat Folk-Gaana duet from the movie Sir (2024) features playfully flirtatious banter between a man and a woman in a rural Tamil setting. Beyond the playful romantic teasing and double-entendre humor typical of traditional Naattu Pattu (folk songs), the lyrics subtly embed sharp social commentary regarding educational access, caste-based oppression, and rural social dynamics.
