ஒரு லேடி
பாடி என்ன தேடி
வந்ததாலே அலஞ்சிட்டேன்
Because a woman's body
Came searching for me
Because it arrived
I wandered around aimlessly
என் வெட்கம் ஈனம்
மானம் சூடு சொரணை
எல்லாம் மறந்துட்டேன்
My shame, my self-respect
My honor and all feelings
I forgot everything
செம்ம போத
ஆகாத செம்ம போத
ஆகாத செம்ம போத
ஆயிட்டா சிக்கனுடா
Don't get heavily intoxicated
Don't get heavily intoxicated
It became heavily intoxicated
Hey chicken!

ஆகாத செம்ம போத
ஆகாத செம்ம போத
ஆயிட்டா நாஸ்தியடா
Don't get heavily intoxicated
Don't get heavily intoxicated
It became heavily intoxicated
It is completely ruined!
ஒரு லேடி
பாடி என்ன தேடி
வந்ததால நொறுங்கிட்டேன்
Because a woman's body
Came searching for me
Because it arrived
I smashed it up
இனி யாரும்
என்ன சீண்டி பார்த்தா
மவனே உன்ன
பொளந்துட்டேன்
From now on, if anyone
Tries to mess with me
Son, I will
Tear you apart
செம்ம போத
ஆகாத செம்ம போத
ஆகாத செம்ம போத
ஆயிட்டா சிக்கனுடா
Don't get heavily intoxicated
Don't get heavily intoxicated
It became heavily intoxicated

ஆகாத செம்ம போத
ஆயிட்டா நாஸ்தியடா
Don't get heavily intoxicated
Don't get heavily intoxicated

கவக்கற ஆளு
நீ கைய வுடுரா உன்ன
எதுத்தவன் எல்லாரையும்
ஓட வுடுரா
You are a guy who guards
Yet you drop your guard
Whoever takes you on
You make them all run away
தொரத்துற கும்பலு
ரொம்ப பெருசு அத சிங்கில்
அதான் சமாளிக்கும் தவளுது
The gang chasing you
Is very massive
Single-handedly, that guy
Is struggling to handle it
அடிக்கிற அடியில்
எதிரி கை பிடியில் சிதறி
பதறி கதறி அழுவதே
With the blows landed
In the enemy's hands
Scattered and panicked in their grip
Screaming and weeping aloud
நான் எஸ்
ஆகும் வித்தக்காரன்
மூஞ்சி கிழிச்சி உன்ன
காலி பண்ண போறேண்டா
I am the escape artist
A clever wizard
I will tear your face and eliminate you
I am going to finish you off
ஓ
Ooooohh...

காட்டுவேனே கெத்துதான்
Whoever comes seeking me
And gives me trouble
I will show them my pure swagger

Don't get heavily intoxicated
Don't get heavily intoxicated
It became heavily intoxicated
It is a total nuisance!
