[Intro – தப்பாட்டம்] · Intro - Thappattam
தகிட தகிட தகிட தோம்!
Thakida Thakida Thakida Thom!
தப்பு அடிச்சா ஊரே ஆடும்!
If the Thappu drum is beaten, the whole town will dance!
டண்டணக்கு டண்டணக்கு டா!
Dandanaku Dandanaku Da!
தரையில் காலு நிக்காதுடா!
Your feet won't stay on the ground!
[Pallavi]
அடிச்சு தூக்கு மச்சான்!
Beat and lift, machan!
அரங்கம் அதிரட்டும் மச்சான்!
Let the hall reverberate, machan!
குத்து விட்டா குமுறும் ஊரு!
If you dance, the village will roar!
கூட்டம் எல்லாம் நம்ம பாரு!
Look, all the crowd is ours!
தன்னானே தானே தன்னானே!
Thannane Thaane Thannane!
தரையில் தூசி பறக்குதே!
Dust is flying on the ground!
தன்னானே தானே தன்னானே!
Thannane Thaane Thannane!
தமிழன் ரத்தம் கொதிக்குதே!
Tamil blood is boiling!
[Charanam 1]
மீசைய முறுக்கு முறுக்கு!
Twirl your mustache, twirl, twirl!
வேட்டிய கட்டு இறுக்கு இறுக்கு!
Tie your dhoti tight, tight!
கண்ணுல பாரு மின்னல் இருக்கு!
Look, there's lightning in your eyes!
காலுல ஆட்டம் புயலும் இருக்கு!
There's a storm in your feet's dance!
சந்தையில கூட்டம் கூடும்!
The crowd will gather in the market!
சத்தத்துல பூமி ஆடும்!
The earth will shake with the sound!
பறையடிச்சா நெஞ்சு துள்ளும்!
If the Parai drum is beaten, the chest will throb!
பழைய வைப் திரும்பி வரும்!
The old vibe will return!
[Hook – Male & Female Chorus] · Hook - Male & Female Chorus
ஏலேலேலோ… ஏலேலேலோ!
Elelelo... Elelelo!
ஊரே சேர்ந்து ஆடுதே!
The whole town is dancing together!
ஏலேலேலோ… ஏலேலேலோ!
Elelelo... Elelelo!
குத்து பாட்டு வெடிக்குதே!
The Kuthu song is exploding!
[Charanam 2]
டீக்கடையில் பெஞ்சு மேல!
On the bench at the tea shop!
தெருக்கோடி ஆட்டம் போட!
Dancing at the street corner!
சின்ன பையன் பெரிய ஆளு!
Small boy, big person!
சேர்ந்து ஆடும் குத்து ஆளு!
All join in the Kuthu dance!
தப்பும் அடிச்சு உறுமி முழங்க!
Beating the Thappu and roaring with the Urumi!
தரையில் காலு ரெண்டும் இறங்க!
Both feet landing on the ground!
எண்பது தொண்ணூறு வைப்!
Eighty-ninety vibe!
இப்பவும் நம்ம குத்து ஹைப்!
Still our Kuthu hype!
[Outro]
தகிட தகிட தோம்!
Thakida Thakida Thom!
தரையில் தூசி பறக்கட்டும்!
Let the dust fly on the ground!
தகிட தகிட தோம்!
Thakida Thakida Thom!
தமிழ்நாடு ஆட்டம் தொடரட்டும்!
Let the dance of Tamil Nadu continue!
