Thiruvizhaanu vandha iva koyil varamaata
Hey thiruvizhaanu vandha iva koyil varamaata
Arichandhiran polae iva poi pesa maata
Kannagiya polae iva kovapada maata
Innoru visayam keluChorus :Enna enna enna
Ne innoru visayam kelu naan uttadhellam reel
Varamaatannu sonnavalae
Vandhu vandhu poriyae chinnavalae
Hey varamaatannu sonnavalae
Vandhu vandhu poriyae chinnavalae
Auto meter polae iva soodu kaata maata
Clinton daughter polae iva peter uda maata
Tent kotta polae iva film kaata maata
Innoru visayam keluChorus :Solluda sollu
Nee innoru visayam kelu naan uttadhellam reel

Hey hey hey hey hey hey heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Hey hey hey hey heyyyyyy
She came for the festival, but she won't come to the temple.
Hey, she came for the festival, but she won't come to the temple!
Like King Harichandra, she never tells a lie!
Like Kannagi, she never loses her temper!
Listen to one more thing... (Chorus: What is it, what is it?)
Listen to one more thing: everything I just said was a total bluff!
You, who said you wouldn't come,
Keep coming and passing by, young girl!
Hey, you who said you wouldn't come,
Keep coming and passing by, young girl!
She doesn't heat up like an auto-rickshaw meter!
Like Clinton's daughter, she doesn't show off speaking English!
Like a tent cinema, she doesn't put on a fake act!
Listen to one more thing... (Chorus: Tell us, buddy, tell us!)
Listen to one more thing: everything I said was just a bluff!
You, who said you wouldn't smile,
Keep smiling and passing by, young girl!
What is the girl from Pushpathur bringing?
Flowers to fool you, and fruits for the temple!
What fruit is that? Look closely and tell me—it's the fruit of divine wisdom!
Orange, apple, grape, date...
Custard apple, guava, mango, pomegranate...
Jackfruit, banana...
My prince who yearns for me, I am a rose with a moustache!
Come happily and dance and sing along with ease!
There are five of us, and one of us is pining for you;
Come dance along with us!
Ah, or else just get lost!
Go away, go away, go away, go away!
Mind your own business and go away, go away!
Hey, you who said you wouldn't talk,
Keep chatting and passing by, young girl!
...
With eyes like fish, she won't fall into any net!
With legs like a deer, she won't get scared and run!
Beautiful like a peacock, she won't drop her guard!
Listen to one more thing—is this a bluff too?
This isn't a bluff, it's the real truth!
You, who said you wouldn't act sweet,
Keep sweet-talking and passing by, young girl!
Hey, you who said you wouldn't act sweet,
Keep sweet-talking and passing by, young girl!
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!
