Making the universe tremble,
Making the skies shake,
At the Chennai Sangamam festival,
We who won the gold medal,
Are the Karaikudi Karagattam
Folk dance troupe!
With folded hands, we welcome you,
Please come and dance, sir!
Flowing like the Cauvery water,
With ankle bells jingling in rhythm,
The Thanjavur drum troupe is ready,
As bundles of cotton fly about,
Come floating lightly, sir!
To make our dance banner fly high,
Master, please dance!
The Karukurichi Nadaswaram pipes,
The leather-strapped Urumi drums,
Danced in the Tirunelveli lands,
The trance dance of deity Sudalaimadan!
O handsome one, like a whirlwind,
Come spinning and whirling, sir!
The crowd will be spellbound,
Sing brilliantly, sir!
O handsome one, like a whirlwind,
Please come!
Words cannot explain it,
It cannot be contained in words—
The boundless affection
That all of you have for me!
Words cannot explain it,
It cannot be contained in words—
The boundless affection
That all of you have for me!
Even if we were born from the same womb,
It wouldn't be as deep as this—
The boundless love
That I have for you all!
Fish-eyed beauty,
He's coming to feast, ailasa!
Hey girl Meenakshi,
Your cousin is coming, welcome him into your arms!
Chorus: Thakita thakita
Thakita thakita thakita
Velayudham is my name,
My ten fingers are sharp spears!
These feet won't stay still,
A scorpion has stung me!
Words cannot explain it,
It cannot be contained in words—
The boundless affection
That all of you have for me!
Even if we were born from the same womb,
It wouldn't be as deep as this—
The boundless love
That I have for you all!
Fish-eyed beauty,
He's coming to feast, ailasa!
Hey girl Meenakshi,
Your cousin is coming, welcome him into your arms!

Oh man, you hold me,
How you control me,
You'd better wrap me up,
Every day... na na ne...
Climbing up the high hill,
Getting on top of me,
Tapping palm wine to drink,
You drink from this flower...
Ye... ye... ye ye ye ye
A dancing pot may sit on my head,
But pride has never gotten to my head!
Raw drums may beat against the ground,
But I have never danced a crooked step!
Dressing up like a tiger,
I have danced the tiger dance,
But by preying upon others,
I have never made my living!
In a fight, I am like MGR,
With a whip, like guardian deity Ayyanar,
Yet despite having courage, picking pointless fights
Is something I have never done!
Fish-eyed beauty,
He's coming to feast, ailasa!
Hey girl Meenakshi,
Your cousin is coming, welcome him into your arms!
Gumsaa ye gumsaa
Gumsaa ye gumsaa
Gumsaa ye gumsaa
Gumsaa ye gumsaa
...
Walking along the field ridges,
Working hard day and night,
The everyday working people—
They are my true folk!
To bring happiness
To their hearts,
Even if something is branded wrong,
It's totally right, my friend!
For the dance performed here,
For the crowd gathered here,
Raising both my hands,
I bow in respect!
I am the darling child of your home,
There is no one quite like me,
And it is you all that I
Will always trust!
Fish-eyed beauty,
He's coming to feast, ailasa!
Hey girl Meenakshi,
Your cousin is coming, welcome him into your arms!
Chorus: Thakita thakita
Thakita thakita thakita
Velayudham is my name,
My ten fingers are sharp spears!
These feet won't stay still,
A scorpion has stung me!
Chorus: Thakita thakita
Thakita thakita thakita
Gumsaa hey gumsaa
Gumsaa hey gumsaa..
