Dawn has broken, money is sprouting!
The gloom has vanished, let the dancing begin!
He is coming, step aside!
Keep your distance!
Kabilan is coming, step aside!
Hey, keep your distance!
Like a top spun with a single-legged whip,
If our man spins, nerves will snap!
There is no machine like you,
Your victory is pure fearless strategy... hey!
See who it is and shut your mouth!
Don't you try to act tough!
Gather the whole town and hold hands,
Dance the energetic kuthu dance!
Hey, in petty fights and trouble, in petty fights and trouble,
Don't get caught!
Hey, don't go stuffing betel leaves in your mouth!
Hey, in petty fights and trouble, in trouble and petty fights,
Don't get caught!
Hey, don't go stuffing betel leaves in your mouth!
Dawn has broken, money is sprouting!
Hmm kmm hmm kmm hmm hmm hm
The gloom has vanished, let the dancing begin!
Hmm kmm hmm kmm hmm hmm hm
He is coming, step aside!
Keep your distance!
Kabilan is coming, step aside!
Hey, keep your distance!
Like the tail beneath a flying kite,
If our man throws a punch, it is game over!
Light the firecrackers right here!
When it comes to a fight, our man is the king!
Hey hey, he is the king!
See who it is and shut your mouth!
Don't you try to act tough!
Gather the whole town and hold hands,
Dance the energetic kuthu dance!
Hey, in petty fights and trouble, in petty fights and trouble,
Don't get caught!
Hey, don't go stuffing betel leaves in your mouth!
Hey, in petty fights and trouble, in trouble and petty fights,
Don't get caught!
Hey, don't go stuffing betel leaves in your mouth!
Hey, dawn has broken, money is sprouting!
Buddy...
Hey hey... play it!
Kabila, you totally nailed it!
A green-stone nose stud,
Aarathi (prayer blessing) with turmeric water,
Our man is now the groom,
And the bride is from Pulianthope!
Make him stand and show him off,
Strike up the thumping beats of the drums,
Put on a ten-rupee garland,
Draw kolam (floor patterns) all around!
The wedding silk is sparkling,
Walking in with complete style,
Gleaming dark without any oil,
Don't just stand there all stiff and stern!
Camphor...
Chorus: Light it up!
Female: The ash gourd...
Chorus: Circle it to ward off the evil eye!
Female: Our song...
Chorus: Queue it up and play!
All: Put everything else on hold!
Hey, in petty fights and trouble, in petty fights and trouble,
Don't get caught!
Hey, don't go stuffing betel leaves in your mouth!
Hey, in petty fights and trouble, in trouble and petty fights,
Don't get caught!
Hey, don't go stuffing betel leaves in your mouth!
Hey, dawn has broken, money is sprouting!
Buddy... hey hey buddy... ah aah buddy!
Aah aah buddy... buddy... buddy!
