Did you come, have you all arrived?
Did you come to watch the folk play?
Did you come to squat down and sit?
Female: Respected elders, did you come, did you come?
Did you come to watch the drama?
Or did you come to stand and judge like village headmen?
Greetings to you all, warm greetings!
Female: Sirs, humble greetings and welcome!
Male: Every greeting offered here is precious as pure gold!
Rolling hills, sturdy hills,
the graceful Kazhugumalai hill,
moss-covered mountain, my darling, thillaale!
The soft cotton mountain where I lie down to sleep,
my darling, thillaale!
Moss-covered mountain, my darling, thillaale!
The soft cotton mountain where I lie down to sleep,
my darling, thillaale!
Gathering a stone or two, my man,
building a bridge across the stream,
as I walked across that bridge, my sweetheart
kept looking at me and winking!
If I look at you, you glare at me,
you pull your saree and cover yourself,
yet you tease and draw me close,
and kindle a burning heat in me!
The village is here, all our relatives are around,
they are watching, standing right beside us,
desire is burning, but my modesty holds me back!
Why do you sweet-talk and tempt me like this,
waking up all my desires?
Tucking me at your waist like a little pouch,
you hold me close and make my head spin!
Beyond the thorny woods and the fence opening, girl,
a guava orchard lies hidden.
If you come inside that guava orchard,
we can cook and share a picnic feast together!
If I come, you will grab my hand,
you will playfully nibble my ear,
you will pinch my waist,
and beg me to stay with you!
Oh oh, I bought you a saree,
I bought you a blouse,
Haha, I gave you soap,
and I gave you a comb!
But she tricked me completely,
she totally wore me out!
Oh, I can't bear it anymore,
I can't hold on any longer!
Hey, northern betel leaf, tender betel leaf,
it feels so good in the mouth!
Aha, a curvy waist and a supple body,
it feels so good on the sleeping mat!
Hey, the rose that bloomed yesterday,
looks so lovely in a hair bun!
That sweet guava pecked by a bird,
tastes so delicious going down the throat!
Hey, northern betel leaf, tender betel leaf,
hey, northern betel leaf, ha, tender betel leaf,
it feels so good in the mouth!
Aha, a curvy waist and a supple body,
it feels so good on the sleeping mat!
Hey China, China, my glamorous Silk,
you look so shapely and fine!
Oh, you don't need this craze,
go look for someone else for that!
Did you go to listen to a symphony?
Are you coming to the movies with me?
Hey chubby girl Meenamma,
do you want an ice pop?
Long and grand like an Impala car,
you and I should get together, ha hoy!
Hey, you brag way too much, get lost,
you unexploded toy paper cap!
Oh China, China, my glamorous Silk,
you really look so shapely and fine!
Female: Hey... this is kept only for you,
break it and enjoy it any way you like!

This energetic duet from Panchalankuruchi begins in the style of a traditional street-play (Koothu) greeting to the audience before launching into a spirited, flirtatious exchange between two lovers. Set against the rural backdrop of Southern Tamil Nadu, the singers exchange playful complaints, romantic teases, and comedic boasts about gifts, beauty, and courtship, using vivid folk metaphors and lighthearted banter.
