ஆச வெச்சேன்
அடங்கவில்ல சோறு
தண்ணி இறங்கவுமில்ல
தொண்டைக்குள்
மீன் முள்ளாக சிக்கிகிச்சு
ஒரு வார்த்த
என் நெஞ்சு உன்னை
கேக்குது என்ன சொல்லி
ஏமாத்த
I developed a desire that couldn't be contained
Neither food nor water goes down my throat
Male: Like a fishbone stuck in the throat
A word has gotten stuck
Female: My heart keeps asking for you
With what words shall I deceive it?
தீ வெச்சு

அக்கம் பக்கம் பாத்து
ஒரு முத்தம் கேக்கும் மாமா
நீ சத்தம் போட்டு முத்தம்
வாங்கும் காலம் எப்போது
Looking around stealthily
Uncle, who asks for a kiss
When will be the time you make a noise
And openly take a kiss?
ஓ ஹோ ஹோ
ஹே ஹே ஹே
Oh ho ho…
Hey hey hey..
ஹே காச பொத்தி
வைக்கும் ஒரு கஞ்சா பைய
போல நீ மூடி மறச்சா உன்
அழகெல்லாம் பாக்கிறது
எப்போது
Hey, like a miserly fellow
Who hoards away his money
When will I see all your beauty
That you keep covered and hidden?
ஓ ஹோ ஹோ
ஹே ஹே ஹே
When will the sacred thread tied by my uncle
Fall onto my shoulder?
Male: After the month of Maasi arrives
Search for the wedding garland without fail
என் மாமன் கட்டும்
தாலி தோளில் விழுவது
எப்போது
மாசி வந்த பின்பு
நீ மாலை தேடு தப்பாது
Until then, where is
Sleep for this girl?
Male: Desires shouldn't be spoken aloud
Chorus: Hey hey hey..
Male: Desires can never be exhausted by telling
Chorus: Hey hey hey..

Using your wet hair
When will you wipe my face?
When will your bangle break
And leave a scratch on my back?
..........................
Saying that one of your anklets
Could not be found,
Finding it on your bed,
Falling asleep there,
When will we laugh about it?
ஈர கூந்தல் கொண்டு
என் முகம் துடைப்பது என்று
உன் வளையல் உடைந்து
முதுகில் கீறல் விழுவது
எப்போது
When will the body, touched by your kiss,
Experience a cooling chill?
Female: When will the lust that burned me
Be burned away entirely?
Male: In the midst of little children,
When will we sleep together?
ஓ ஹோ ஹோ
ஹே ஹே ஹே
Desires shouldn't be spoken aloud
Chorus: Hey hey hey..
Female: Desires can never be exhausted by telling
Chorus: Hey hey hey..
கால் கொலுசில்
ஒன்று நான் காண வில்லை
என்று உம்மெத்தையில் கண்டு
தூக்கமும் கொண்டு சிரிப்பது
எப்போது
I developed a desire that couldn't be contained
Neither food nor water goes down my throat
ஓ ஹோ ஹோ
ஹே ஹே ஹே
Like a fishbone stuck in the throat
A word has gotten stuck
Female: My heart keeps asking for you
With what words shall I deceive it?
உன் முத்தம் பட்டு
தேகம் குளிரும் காலம்
எப்போது
என்னை சுட்ட
காமம் எரிந்தே போவது
எப்போது
சிறு பிள்ளைக்கு
நடுவே நாம் தூங்குற
தெப்போ
The gentle breeze passes by setting me on fire
