ஆண்கள் :
ராஜாதி ராஜன் தானே நாலு பேரும்
ராஜாங்கம் நம்ம கையில் வந்து சேரும்
There is no shortage of money, it is a good time.
We can host a musical concert at any time.
காசுக்கு பஞ்சமில்லை நல்ல நேரம்
கச்சேரி வச்சிடுவோம் எந்த நேரம்
In the chilly breeze along the lake's bank,
ஏரிக்கரையில் வாடைப் பனியில்
We will roam around singing millions of poems.
கோடி கவிதை பாடித் திரிவோம்
Elder brother! Male: What happened?
அண்ணாச்சி
என்னாச்சி
Why is the flower chariot dancing, wearing fine attire?
Why is the river of milk flowing?
ஆண்கள் :
கும்மாளம் கொட்டமடிப்போம்
Stop, my princess! Every day,
I will keep you safe inside my heart.
ஆண்கள் :
ராஜாதி ராஜன் தானே நாலு பேரும்
ராஜாங்கம் நம்ம கையில் வந்து சேரும்
It is enough just to catch a glimpse of a saree dress,
Male: Right in front of them,
ஆடுவதென்ன பூந்தேரு ஆடை கட்டிக்கிட்டு
ஓடுவதென்ன பாலாறு
You go close and wag your tail!
Male: From behind!
நில்லடியம்மா ராசாத்தி நாளும்
உன்ன வைப்பேன் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள காப்பாத்தி
Listen here, you are one who teases womanhood!
If I join you, see how your reputation will be ruined!
பாத்துப்புட்டா போதும் ஒரு சேல
முன்னால
ஆட்டுறியே கிட்டப்போயி வால
பின்னால
There is no fault in having desire.
Male: No one is pure anyway!
Male: Women generally should be appreciated.
தாய்க்குலத்த கிண்டல் பண்ணும் ஆளு நீ கேளு
நானும் சேர்ந்தா கெட்டுப் போகும் பாரு என் பேரு
Hey girl like a rose flower, when stepping onto the stage,
Where did your upper garment go?
ஆசைக்கு குத்தமில்ல
யாருமே சுத்தமில்ல
பெண்கள பொதுவாக ரசிச்சிடனும்
Modesty has been completely lost!
Looking at you, strange feelings came over me!
ஆண்கள் :
ராஜாதி ராஜன் தானே நாலு பேரும்
ராஜாங்கம் நம்ம கையில் வந்து சேரும்
Is it the city or the countryside? Tell me, tell me!
Step aside and stand off to the side, stand off!
ஏன்டியம்மா ரோசாப்பூ மேடை ஏறும்போது
எங்கடி போச்சு மாராப்பு
Look at the dance and the teasing glances, look!
Overall, who are young girls? A flowing river of honey!
நாலும் கேட்டு போயாச்சு நானும்
உன்னப் பார்த்து என்னென்னவோ ஆயாச்சு
There is no fault in the dance, but the clothing is insufficient.
At least half of it overall needs to be covered.
பட்டணமும் பட்டிக்காடா சொல்லு நீ சொல்லு
ஒத்துக்காட்டி ஒத்தி போயி நில்லு நீ நில்லு
Are not all four of us kings among kings?
The kingdom will eventually come into our hands.
ஆட்டத்தையும் நோட்டத்தையும் பாரு நீ பாரு
ஆக மொத்தம் சின்னப் பெண்கள் யாரு தேனாறு
Pleasure flows as time passes, while having a drink,
Singing constantly brings sheer happiness.
ஆட்டத்தில் குத்தமில்ல ஆடைதான் பத்தவில்ல
மொத்தத்தில் ஒரு பாதி மறச்சிடனும்
Everything appears doubled as intoxication rises,
The mind wanders around like a beetle.
ராஜாதி ராஜன் தானே நாலு பேரும்
ராஜாங்கம் நம்ம கையில் வந்து சேரும்....
Uttering your name a little bit,
Saying it, I keep saying it,
I pour myself another,
Hundred milliliters, spending cash!
போடப்போட உல்லாசம் தண்ணி போட்டுக்கிட்டு
பாடப் பாட சந்தோஷம்
Truth be told, you are a generous philanthropist,
Brother, oh my brother!
There is no one quite like you,
I said it, yes I said it!
உள்ளதெல்லாம் ரெண்டாகும் போதை ஏற ஏற
உள்ளமொரு வண்டாகும்
Why are you going astray, my friend?
You are straying away from the righteous path!
Without getting swooned by drink, reform yourself!
உன்னுடைய பேரக் கொஞ்சம்
சொல்லி நான் சொல்லி
ஊத்திக்கிறேன் இன்னும்
நூறு மில்லி காசள்ளி
சொல்லப் போனால் வள்ளல் நீதான்
அண்ணே என் அண்ணே
உன்னப் போல யாருமில்ல
சொன்னேன் நான் சொன்னேன்
ஏண்டா நீ கெட்டுப் போறே
பாதைய விட்டுப் போறே
குடிச்சி மயங்காம திருந்திடனும்
