Chorus :Avvai shanmughi…
Avvai Shanmughi...
Avvai Shanmughi...
Work, work, work, work!
More and more work, endless work!
Work for a man, work for a woman!
And work for a man who became a woman!
Morning to evening, evening to morning...
Work keeps piling on and on!
So much work, work all the time!
And for all of it, a garland of victory!
Oh Shanmuga, in all your creation,
isn't a woman the greatest of all?
Chorus: Avvai Shanmughi...
Work, work, work, work!
More and more work, endless work!
Work for a man, work for a woman!
And work for a man who became a woman!
{Hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey} (2)
Oh my goodness, this lady here
is like Ardhanari (half-man, half-woman) dancing!
This disguise is a dual role,
all because of love for my child!
For the sake of the little calf,
a bull has turned into a milch cow!
The child that was born
now has two mothers here!
This is truly a wonder,
a strictly personal secret!
Peep paappa rabaappa
Pari paappa reppaappa
Chigee chigeechaan saa chigachaa
Joosu joosu joojoosoosoo
Oh Shanmuga, in all your creation,
isn't a woman the greatest of all?
Chorus: Avvai Shanmughi...
Morning to evening, evening to morning...
Work keeps piling on and on!
So much work, work all the time!
And for all of it, a garland of victory!
Ha ha hey hey
Avvai Shanmughi
Ha ha hey hey
Ha ha hey hey
Avvai Shanmughi
Ha ha hey hey
I have seen many a stage,
and put on so many disguises!
Yet this one is truly unique—
a father playing the role of a mother!
Aararo... oh... aararo... aari...
As grandmother sings her lullaby,
listening to it, the baby falls asleep!
Can even the High Court ever step in
and stop a song filled with true love?
Can anyone ever separate
the shadow from the body?
Peep paappa pebaappa
Thara thath-thaa tharath-thaa
Thajum thaa thaa rabaappa
Chigee paappaa paa chigeepaa
Oh Shanmuga, in all your creation,
isn't a woman the greatest of all?
Chorus: Avvai Shanmughi...
Work, work, work, work!
More and more work, endless work!
Work for a man, work for a woman!
And work for a man who became a woman!
Morning to evening, evening to morning...
Work keeps piling on and on!
So much work, work all the time!
And for all of it, a garland of victory!
Oh Shanmuga, in all your creation,
isn't a woman the greatest of all?
