Is everyone watching born under the Moolam star?
Hold out your hands for the yellow bridal thread!
It turned bright red and got tied, this is no joke!
Hey, the crane's walk struts with pride,
The duck's waddle gives a punch of thrill!
If you show some swagger, style tags along, doesn't it?
Ah, twisted, crisp, and snappy,
My darling babe is dark and sharp!
My charm, my youth, and my sassy pride,
Stand up tall and hold your head high!
Thathalakka thalukkulakka
Thathalakka thalukkulakka
Thathalakka thalukkulakka
Thathalakka thalukku
Thathalakka thathalakka
Thathalakka thathalakka
Thathalakka thathalakka
Thathalakka thalukku...
Keep letting go and catching me non-stop,
Hold me tight without pulling away,
When you touch me, it imprints deep within!
Are you as tender as a banana stem?
Don't panic when you look at me,
Thread by thread, my heart gets tangled up!
The hot meal is rocking the place,
The fiery ginger juice splashes with spice!
The saree slips off this playful little bird,
The moment you step close, it peels you bare!
Don't ask this young girl
To hold a baby shower yet!
I've spoken out everything on my mind,
So don't take it the wrong way!
Hey thannenanne thannenanne
Thannenannaane
Hey thannenanne thannenanne
Thannenannaane
Thathalakka thalukkulakka
Thathalakka thalukkulakka
Thathalakka thalukkulakka
Thathalakka thalukku
Without cooling down, you keep simmering,
Without spilling, you're bubbling like beer,
Why do you tease me without even asking?
You're dancing without moving a bit,
You're running without taking a step,
You sneak inside unasked and search all around!
If you touch the line,
I'll call a foul!
You're drooling so much, here take a towel!
It's spinning all wrong,
The ball you just bowled!
Like flattened rice soaked in milk!
If that's not enough, I'll teach you more,
So listen to me carefully!
A heavy boulder inside me is catching fire,
Place your bet and test your luck!
Hey thannenanne thannenanne
Thannenannaane
Hey thannenanne thannenanne
Thannenannaane
Is everyone watching born under the Moolam star?
