கரிச காட்டு கழனி சுத்தி எருமமாடு
இவ காத பாரு செவப்பு லைட்டு டேஞ்சர் தோடு
பரிசம் போட்ட மச்சானுக்கு சோத்த போடு
அந்த பக்கம் வேறு புருஷன் வரான் பாத்து ஓடு
A buffalo wandering around the black-soil fields,
Look at her ear—she wears red light danger studs!
Serve food to the groom who paid the dowry/betrothal money,
Watch out, another husband is coming from that side, run!

இப்படியே வீடு வரை போங்கடி
புடிச்சா குரங்கடி கடிச்சா தேளடி
பொம்பளைன்னா கோதாவுல எறங்கி பாரடி
What arrogance, hey girls! Get up and move!
Go all the way back home just like this!
If she holds, she's like a monkey; if she bites, she's like a scorpion!

நீ எந்த பையன் நினைப்ப வச்சி முகத்தை தேய்க்கிற
ஏன்டியம்மா பாட்டி இப்ப மஞ்சள் குளிக்கிறே
நீ எந்த பையன் நினைப்ப வச்சி முகத்தை தேய்க்கிற
வெள்ளி ரேக்கு கூந்தலுக்கு மெருகு போடறே
வெட்கம் கெட்ட பின்னே ஏன்டி சேலை தேடுறே

ஊரணிக்கு நீங்க வந்த ஓதப்பேன் கல்லாலே

If I burst four crackers, your breath will freeze!
Run in front, go behind,
If you come to the village pond, I will kick you with stones!
