சிக்ஸா் அடிச்சாலும் டக்குங்கிறாங்க
Without putting on pretenses, we talk and laugh
Buying free tea, we drink it together
When we get together as a group, we forget home
As a crowd, we beat the drums

உள்ளத்துல வீசும் ஒரு போதும்
நாங்க இல்ல இல்ல இல்ல மோசம்
அட்டகாசம் அளவில்லா செம பாசம்
பொதுவாக சொன்னா நாங்க

Like a bird
Unrestrained on the ground
We roam around daily
This is our only job
கலங்காம வாழும்

கடன் கேட்டாக்க எடுப்போமே ஓட்டம்
The girl who comes wearing
A fine silk saree
To make her mine, keeps thinking
Keeps thinking my brain

Will stand in every street
As the rightful maternal uncle, in her heart

And the crested rooster dances the kuthu
