Why are you standing there looking? Strike it up, guys!
Small gem-like maiden
The grand black bead of your wedding necklace
Colorful moon-like jewel
The precious gemstone of Valaiyappatti
The cuckoo of the colorful countryside
Singing in total ecstasy
Look, dancing with nine emotions!
Is this a grand festival/gathering?
Is this a grand festival/gathering?
When this grand festival gathering goes around
Like the Madurai jasmine flower
The moment you see this, you feel like drinking a 100ml drink
After marrying her, for four days there was no sleep at all
No sleep at all!
Hey woman with a stout, strong frame
When she goes to lie down spreading a mat
Her man knocks on the door
And calls her to wrestle/tussle!
The guy who came to pay the advance
Is calling her in a hurry
He quietly overpowers her, oh dear!
This shameless, this shameless
This shameless man has no sensible mind
And without understanding that
A woman has no other choice
Ah, whatever happened after that
Cannot be spoken aloud
That cannot be expressed!
I feel like speaking so many things
Everything gets all tangled up for me, my dear
Ask me whatever you want
I will buy and give you everything you ask for
Shyness swallows my words
The sky seems to float upside down
All through time, along with you, I too
Must walk together until death arrives
Inside my life force, there is a thunderous rain
Will any storm blow against us?
Oh flower, why do you confuse me?
I keep you inside my eyes
How can I ever close my eyes, my love?
Female: I too carry you within me
Male: My life will leave me on your lap
My body will burn before yours does
All the little young children
Are running around with joy and fury
All the old folks
Are walking briskly with trembling excitement
All the young girls
Are shimmering bright and shiny
Look at them bustling with cool energy!
Ah, triple rainfall, triple rainfall!
Ah, triple rainfall!
There is a sky that pours seasonal rain
Ah, even inside stones
There is an earth where flowers bloom
To remove all other flaws
This god exists, our god exists!
Like a raindrop of love
It wanders inside the heart
For the very first time, the sky
Appears in vibrant colors
Like a raindrop of love
It wanders inside the heart
For the very first time, the sky
Appears in vibrant colors
