To the women who come to cheat us,
we will teach a hard lesson!
Ah, we will teach them everything!
To the women who come to cheat us,
we will teach a hard lesson!
Ah, we will teach them everything!
Who starts all the trouble?
Chorus: It is a woman!
Male: Who holds our leash?
Chorus: It is a woman!
Oh my, this pretty girl,
for whom did she lock her door?
Oh my, this pretty girl,
for whom did she lock her door?
Ha, to the women who come to cheat us,
we will teach a hard lesson!
Ah, we will teach them everything!
To the women who come to cheat us,
we will teach a hard lesson!
Ah, we will teach them everything!
If you feel like falling in love,
Chorus: There is no girl there, no girl at all!
Male: Ha, if a young girl stands before you,
Chorus: There is no love there, no love at all!
Even if love comes your way,
it will not last, my friend!
Calling even that love,
do not fall for it, my friend!
Letting their upper cloth slip,
they will just walk away, my friend!
Just to make a fool of us,
they will blow a flying kiss, my friend!
It is never ever real,
brother, dear brother!
Every day your heart will suffer,
burning and aching inside!
Oh my, this pretty girl,
for whom did she lock her door?
To the women who come to cheat us,
we will teach a hard lesson!
Ah, we will teach them everything!
She is a pretty girl,
Chorus: She is a pretty girl!
Male: With eyes to match her beauty!
Chorus: With eyes to match her beauty!
All that you have inside you,
Chorus: All that you have inside you,
Male: is nothing but sheer arrogance!
Chorus: is nothing but sheer arrogance!
She is a pretty girl,
with eyes to match her beauty!
She is a pretty girl,
with eyes to match her beauty!
All the mischief of youth,
Chorus: She showed it all, showed it all!
Male: The true meaning of love,
Chorus: She changed it all, changed it all!
In front of a charging bull,
what will happen to a prancing cow, my friend?
If it plays right in front of an arrow,
is there any deer that escapes trouble, my friend?
Putting on a new disguise every single day,
isn't it all a lie?
She cuts us down without a blade, oh sir!
Oh my, this pretty girl,
for whom did she lock her door?
To the women who come to cheat us,
we will teach a hard lesson!
Ah, we will teach them everything!
To the women who come to cheat us,
we will teach a hard lesson!
Ah, we will teach them everything!
Who starts all the trouble?
Chorus: It is a woman!
Male: Who holds our leash?
Chorus: It is a woman!
Oh my, this pretty girl,
for whom did she lock her door, ha?
Oh my, this pretty girl,
for whom did she lock her door?

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This playful and rhythmic folk-pop song expresses a tongue-in-cheek lament from a young man warned about the unpredictable ways of young women and love. Through lively exchanges between the male lead and chorus, the song lightheartedly warns men not to get easily fooled by flirtatious gestures, superficial beauty, or fleeting charm, framing romance as a playful battle of wits.

Poetic devices
Metaphor
“Vettaama vetturaalae aiyaa aiyaa”
The phrase 'Vettaama vetturaalae' metaphorically describes emotional heartbreak or sharp words as being cut without a physical blade.
Analogy
“Ambukku munnaala vilaiyaadinaa”
Comparing naive lovers to a prancing cow in front of a bull or a deer playing in front of an arrow emphasizes the risk of getting caught up in superficial romance.
