Talking away, watching closely,
Running swift like the wind!

Near the Paramakudi bus stand,
in the neighboring street,
for the very first time,
listen to the story of how I went to see a bride!
Mixing buttermilk right into the beer,
he gave it to me to drink!
Because of that blunder her father made,
Female: Because of that blunder,
Male: I said no!
I said I don't want that bride!
I said no!
I said I don't want that bride!
Seeli nikkaan, seeya nikkaan,

Near Karaikudi,
in Devakottai, dude,
searching over there,
I went to see a bride,
listen to this as well, dude!
She didn't even know how to say my name,
and getting furious at her brother,
Male: Getting furious,
Male: I said no!
I said I don't want that bride!
I said no!
I said I don't want that bride!
Seeli nikkaan, seeya nikkaan,

Ittakkudi, Puliyankudi,
Ariyakkudi, Mannargudi,
Paramakudi, Sayalkudi,
Pudhuvaikudi, Chandragudi,
Mayakkudi, Masinagudi...
In every town that has 'kudi' (drink) in its name,
I searched all over!
For a heavy drinker like me,
no one was willing to give a bride!
Male: And so,
Male: Hey, I said no!
I said I don't want marriage!
I said no!
I said I don't want marriage!

Hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey hey!
All of us drinkers must unite,
and a union
Chorus: we must form!
Male: The principles of a good drinker,
we must gather every day
Chorus: and discuss!
After drinking, back at home,
troubles and tantrums
Chorus: we shouldn't create!
And to get money for drinks,
we shouldn't go around begging!
If we just stick
to these two principles, dude,
even we will earn respect
in this town, understand that, dude!
Hey, look here, dude!
A drinkers' union,
drinkers' principles...
After talking about all these great things,
you forgot about our own matter, buddy!
Hey, until that union is formed,
no marriage for me!
I don't want any marriage!
No marriage for me!
I don't want any marriage!
