Yela Iykki
Odakara oruthiya kaattavaa
Gramathu kaaviyam sollavaa
Aathangara azhagiya paadavaa
Karisal mann kaadhal pesavaa
Odakara oruthiya kaattavaa
Gramathu kaaviyam sollavaa
Aathangara azhagiya paadavaa
Karisal mann kaadhal pesavaa
Vettivacha karisa mullu pookayila
Panguni veyilula vaanam karukkayila
Kaaya vacha vattha kulundhu nenayayila
Pechi amma enna yesi vaiyayila
Thuni thovakkum azhagu thozhiga
Varisayila ena thedi varugaiyila
Ayyan avar ayyanaaru meesa murukkayil
Paathum paakaama nazhugi pogayila
Maattikitten undhan nenapula
Nazhugi poga yeno thonala
Nelinjenae meena valaiyila
Parandhenae kaadhal theevula
Maattikitten undhan nenapula
Nazhugi poga yeno thonala
Nelinjenae meena valaiyila
Parandhenae kaadhal theevula
Aathi ada phone eduthathum
Instagram-la veralu theyudhae
Vaathiyaru thalaiyil kottiyum
Padichadhu yerala nenappu yerudhae
Kaathadi vidura saakula
Ne irukkum edam thedi paakuran
Kammangara kallu kooda
En kaadhal kadhayila karanju pogudhae
Maamarathula mayilaattam
Mayangi ponen kuyilaattam
Maina naan thaniyaakum
Mama vaa ennakaattam
Maamarathula mayilaattam
Mayangi ponen kuyilaattam
Maina naan thaniyaakum
Mama vaa ennakaattam
Athupudi athupudi
Aththa ponnu kathupudi
You see ma ma girls having vettu kathi
So you don’t dare to do any kattipudi
Neeyum paathu padi
Kalathu ponnu kaiyil kalari
Kaalil kathakali rendum paathu padi
Or you call your daddy
My girls owning kalapai, they don’t nod
My girls on kalai vandi ur so hot
Than your bikini girls in caddy
Paati kadhai kooda naanga kettu valandhom
Ada paatti mela odi aadi naanga valandhom
Ada Iphone birkin bags we do got
I tunes gotta check our streams are on top
Now our streams on the top
We do know about the shots
All our country girls are the queens on the top
Yeah …queens on the top
Hey... hey... hey...
[Dialogue]
Hey Iykki!
Shall I show you a girl from the stream bank?
Shall I tell you a village tale?
Shall I sing of the riverside beauty?
Shall I speak of love from the black-soil land?
Shall I show you a girl from the stream bank?
Shall I tell you a village tale?
Shall I sing of the riverside beauty?
Shall I speak of love from the black-soil land?
When the cut black-soil thorns burst into bloom,
When the sky darkens in the blazing summer heat,
When the sun-dried tender leaves get drenched in the rain,
When mother Pechi scolds and shouts at me,
While my lovely friends who wash clothes
Come walking in a line looking for me,
While my man twirls his Ayyanar (guardian deity) mustache,
While I slip away, pretending not to see him,
I got caught up in thoughts of you,
Somehow, I didn't feel like slipping away.
I wriggled like a fish caught in a net,
I soared across an island of love.
I got caught up in thoughts of you,
Somehow, I didn't feel like slipping away.
I wriggled like a fish caught in a net,
I soared across an island of love.
Oh my, the moment I pick up my phone,
My fingers wear out scrolling on Instagram.
Even when the teacher raps my head,
Lessons don't stick, but thoughts of you keep rising.
On the pretext of flying a kite,
I keep searching for wherever you are.
Even the stones along the lake bank
Melt away listening to my love story.
Dancing like a peacock in a mango tree,
I fell in a trance, singing like a cuckoo.
I am a lonely myna bird,
Come to me, my love, come see me!
Dancing like a peacock in a mango tree,
I fell in a trance, singing like a cuckoo.
I am a lonely myna bird,
Come to me, my love, come see me!
Catch that, grab hold of that!
Learn it well, dear cousin!
You see my girls holding machetes,
So don't you dare try hugging them!
You too watch and learn!
The village girl holds Kalari (martial arts) in her hands,
And Kathakali in her feet—watch both and learn!
Or go call your daddy!
My girls own the plough, they don't bow down,
My girls on the carts are so hot,
Hotter than your bikini girls in the city!
We grew up listening to grandma's stories,
We grew up running and playing all around,
We've got iPhones and Birkin bags too,
Check iTunes, our streams are on top!
Now our streams are on top,
We know how to call the shots,
All our country girls are queens at the top!
Yeah... queens on top!
