My towel is gone!
My clothes are gone!
My towel is gone!
My clothes are gone!
While I was sleeping, my money is gone!
What did you do to me, girl? What did you do?
You lift me up without even touching me,
You put me through the fire!
What did you do to me, girl? What did you do?
I drank a quarter bottle, I drank a full bottle,
But the buzz never hit me!
I tossed to one side,
I turned to the other,
Yet sleep just wouldn't come!
What did you do to us, girl? What did you do?
What did you do to us, girl? What did you do?
When you smile,
Even a new Cauvery river springs to life here!
Female: If I make a strike, all the way in Neyveli,
An electric shock will hit!
O bunch of tender coconuts,
You are tormenting me so!
When a youthful storm arrives,
You collide and knock it down!
I am a cake filled with a storm, boy!
Lift me gently without breaking me!
Eat your fill until you're completely satisfied!
You, you, you...
My friend, what are you daydreaming about?
Inside my heart is my angel, man!
Shut the doors, shut them tight, boys!
Pull the blanket over me, boys!
What did you do to us, girl? What did you do?
My towel is gone!
My clothes are gone!
While I was sleeping, my money is gone!
What did you do to me, girl? What did you do?
...
Come here, you thief...
I am the doorstep of youth, boy!
Male: Ah, look at that!
She is a top-brand product from Tata, man!
Right or wrong,
Come and play the thavil (traditional drum), boys!
Until you are exhausted,
Turn me into a sieve, boys!
You pinch me with a sharp sting,
You chew me like chewing gum!
You brush against me and stir me up,
You, you, you...
Do it, just do it, man!
I don't want vegetarian food, man!
Oh my, oh man,
I want non-vegetarian feast right now, man!
A teak, teak, teakwood tree,
Just gazing at her stirs up craving!
What did you do to us, girl? What did you do?
My towel is gone!
My clothes are gone!
While I was sleeping, my money is gone!
What did you do to me, girl? What did you do?
You lift me up without even touching me,
You put me through the fire!
What did you do to me, girl? What did you do?
