No need, man, just let it go!
Tie up that demonic spirit (Vedhaalam)!
Who am I to advise good things?
That is not needed.
Who are you to speak the truth? Yes, indeed!
வேணான்டா அட விட்டுடுங்கடா
வேதாளம் அத கட்டிடுங்கடா
நான்தான் யாரு நல்லத சொல்ல
அது வேணான்டா
நீதான் யாரு உள்ளத சொல்ல அட ஆமான்டா
No need, man, just let it go!
Tie up that demonic spirit!
வேணான்டா அட விட்டுடுங்கடா
வேதாளம் அத கட்டிடுங்கடா
During the harvest time,
Near the millet field,
The clinking sound of bangles,
A whispering soft sound,
An affectionate kiss,
I am curious to know about it!
கதிர் அறுக்கிற நேரத்துல
கம்பங்கொல்லை ஓரத்துல
கலகலன்னு வளையோசை
கிசுகிசுன்னு சத்தம் ஒண்ணு
கொஞ்சிக்கிற முத்தம் ஒண்ணு
தெரிஞ்சுக்கத்தான் எனக்காசை
Desire caught fire over there,
The situation escalated,
That is their personal story!
If told, it brings blame,
People will come to stab the narrator!
Why do we need that story?
அங்க நெனப்பு பத்திக்கிச்சு
நெலம முத்திக்கிச்சு
அவங்க சொந்த கதைதான்
அத சொன்னா குத்தம் வரும்
சொன்னவன குத்த வரும்
நமக்கேன் அந்த கதத்தான்
The girl's story is a mystery,
A drama takes place every day!
பொண்ணு கத ஒரு பூடகந்தான்
தெனமும் நடக்குது நாடகந்தான்
No need!
Male: No need!
Male: Hey, let it go!
Male: Let it go!
Male: The phantom...

Checking the right person and the right day,
Consulting elders who know well,
A couple should be united, my friend!
ஆளப் பார்த்து நாளப் பார்த்து
அறிஞ்சவங்கள கேட்டுப் பாத்து
சேர்க்கனுய்யா தம்பதிகள
If done out of pride and arrogance,
And getting married just for rivalry,
All of life becomes filled with troubles!
அட தெம்ப வச்சு திமிர வச்சு
வம்புக்காக மணம் முடிச்சா
வாழ்க்கையெல்லாம் சங்கடங்களே
In your mango-shaped foolish head,
There is no brain at all,
Hey talkative Kovalu!
உன் மாங்கா மண்டையிலே
மூளை ஒண்ணுமில்ல
வாய்யா கோழி கோவாலு
If we decide,
Chorus: We will finish it!
Male: In everything,
Chorus: We will win!
Male: This is our challenge!
Take the righteous beating, man!
Clear off your bad karma!
