சலாம் மகராசா
சலாம் மகராசா
உங்க வயசுக்கு தான் ஆடுறேன்
உங்க கைத்தட்டு தானே என் துட்டு
போடு தில்லானா நான் போடுறேன்
கொஞ்சம் மணம் விட்டு என்ன பாராட்டு
போதும் பம்பரமா நான் சுத்துறேன்
Greetings, king!
Greetings, king!
I am dancing just for your youth.
Your applause alone is my earning.
I am performing the thillana dance.
Praise me open-heartedly for a moment.
That is enough, I am spinning like a top.
அடி திரனானா
அந்த தில்லானா
மோகனாம்பாளு நீதானடி
நீ நிமிந்தாலும் கொஞ்சம் குனிஞ்சாலும்
நெஞ்சில் வெடிக்குதடி ஊசிவெடி
அடி சுதியேத்து கொஞ்சம் குஷியேத்து
இந்த ஹோட்டலையே
வாங்கித்தரேன் உன் கூத்துக்கு
Oh, thiranaanaa!
That thillana dancer,
You indeed are Mohanaambal!
Whether you stand tall,
Or bend down a little,
A needle-cracker explodes in my heart!
Hey, build up the mood and raise the joy a bit.
Right inside this hotel,
I will reward your dance performance.
அடி பாப்பா உன்ன பாத்தா
கண்ணு கபடி ஆடுது
உன் இடுப்பில் உள்ள மடிப்பு
என்ன கசக்கி போடுது
Hey girl, when looking at you,
My eyes play Kabaddi!
The fold on your waist,
Is crumpling me up!
ரொம்ப டீப்பா உங்க பார்வை
என்ன ஆழம் பாக்குது
உங்க மூச்சு ஒன்னு சேத்து
என்ன சூடு ஏத்துது
Your gaze is very deep,
It is measuring my depth.
Your warm breath combined,
Is raising my body heat!
ஹே மன்றங்கள் வைக்க
நாங்க ரெடி
ஹே திறப்பு விழாவில்
கலந்துக்கடி
We are ready to set up fan clubs!
Hey, join in the grand opening ceremony!
அடி பாப்பா உன்ன பாத்தா
கண்ணு கபடி ஆடுது
உன் இடுப்பில் உள்ள மடிப்பு
என்ன கசக்கி போடுது
Hey girl, when looking at you,
My eyes play Kabaddi!
The fold on your waist,
Is crumpling me up!
