You dumb girl (pEy peNNE!), the 'aanai chaaththan' birds are humming (keesu) together (kalandhu), everywhere (engum). Don't you hear (kEttilaiyO) the sound (aravam) of these birds talking (pEchchu)? The cow girls (aaychchiyar) with fragrance (naRum) spreading (vaasa) from their hair (kuzhal), wearing garlands of gold coins (kaasum piRappum), are skimming the yogurt (thayir) using a skimming gadget (maththu), with their ornaments making (paduththa) a jingling (kala kala) sound (Osai), tiring (pErththu) their hands (kai). Don't you hear (kEttilaiyO) the sound (aravam)? Hey leader (naayaga) of the girls (peN piLLaay)! while we are singing (paadavum) the praise of the Lord Narayana Murthy and Kesavan, you are still sleeping (kidaththiyO) while listening (kEttE). Glamourous (dhEsam) as you are (udaiyaay), open (thiRa) the door.
