1. Thillu Mullu , Thillu mullu,

Ullamellam kallu mullu  ,

Ayiram nadakangal  , Ayirm Veshangal,

Mannavan veshathil vanthan,

Avanidam rajangam kidayathu.

1.Hodge-podge, Hodge-podge,

The mind is full of stones and thorns,

Thousand dramas, thousand parts ,

He came as a king  ,

But he did not have  government.

2.Mappilai vesham pottan, avanidam ,

Pen ondru kidayathu,

Vetkamille  , dukhamille  ,

Vesham oru doshamillai  ,

Kalayil chamiyar, malayil mamiyar.

2. He acted the part of son in law ,

But he did not have any girl,

No shame, no sorrow,

There is nothing wrong in a part  ,

Morning a sage   and evening mother in law.

3,Nallathu cheithida ,

Poi chollalamena  ,

Valluvar chonnaru,

Nattukku kovilai kettida oruvar  ,

THirudavum cheithaaru,

SAthiyathai cholli vittu ,

THathuvathai vittu vittu ,

Povathum vazhvathum  ,

Labhama ? Pavama?

3, Thiruvalluvar told that  ,

You can tell a lie to do  good.

One person for building a temple to the country,

Also stole ,

After telling the truth  ,

Leaving out  philosophy  ,

And going and living  ,

Is it profit or is it a sin?

4.Aanmai illathavan  ,

Meesai vaithal –athu,

Veerathai kaattathu  ,

Periya mul , chiriya mul ,

Irandum illathathu  ,

Nerathai kattathu  ,

BNallathukku kathi yedu ,

Illayimnna vittu vidu ,

Yennavum cheyyalam,

Namai than mukkiyam

4. If  a person without manliness,

Keeps a mustache that,

Will not show valour,

If big hand and small hand , both are not there ,

It would not show you  time,

For doing good take the knife,

Otherwise leave it out

You can do anything,

But  doing only good is important
