Aavi.. aa aa aavi
Aavi parakum tea kada
Ava vanthathanaala pookada
Devi dhinusa paathida
Naan maranthe ponen sapida
Kaadhal ennum teayila
Nencha bun-ah nenachitta
Thedi vantha devatha
Enna nekka kudichitta

Aagaama iruthen boniyaa
Ava paathu siricha piraaguthaan
Aanene salttum seeniya seeniya seeniya
Aavi.. aa aa aavi
Aavi parakum tea kada
Ava vanthathanaala pookada
Devi dhinusa paathida
Naan maranthe ponen sapida
Vetri petravarghal virumbum idam
Rajinimurugan tea stall (Dialogue)
Kadhal enbathu dabaraa settu
Kalanthorame piriyathu
Aasai enbathu palagara thattu
Moodi veikavum mudiyathu
Sooda yethum boiler-ah
Avalathu meniyum thonuthe

Kanni theeva pol thodarum lovea
Daily papera padichene
Uppu biscuit-ah avalum enna
Thottu thingave odanjene
Jaada kaatum kannuthaan
Pazhagida token-um vaanguthe
Mooda mathum solluthaan

Ava thottu tharum glassu
Athilethaan uyir dosu
Paththukko paththukko dangeru
Odunga odunga Mr.jack
Antha kodiya mirugam
Nammala nokkithan vanthuturukku (Dialogue)
Aavi parakum tea kada
Ava vanthathanaala pookada
Devi dhinusa paathida
Naan maranthe ponen sapida
Nambi vanga santhosama ponga (Dialogue)
Steam... ah ah steam!
A steaming hot tea stall,
Turned into a flower shop because she arrived!
When this goddess looked at me in a stylish way,
I completely forgot to eat!
In the tea called love,
She soaked my heart like a bun!
The goddess who came looking for me,
Drank me down smoothly!
Until yesterday, even I
Had not made a single sale!
Only after she looked and smiled at me,
Did plain salt turn into sugar, sugar, sugar!
Steam... ah ah steam!
A steaming hot tea stall,
Turned into a flower shop because she arrived!
When this goddess looked at me in a stylish way,
I completely forgot to eat!
The place preferred by winners,
Rajini Murugan Tea Stall! (Dialogue)
Love is like a traditional dabara cup set,
Once mixed together, it never separates!
Desire is like a tray of snacks,
You can never keep it covered!
Like a tea boiler heating up,
Her body seems to radiate warmth!
Like herbal dry-ginger coriander coffee,
Her sweet fragrance wafts in the air!
Her words are super tasty,
Just thinking of them is an energy boost!
Listen up, listen up to the news!
A steaming hot tea stall,
Turned into a flower shop because she arrived!
When this goddess looked at me in a stylish way,
I completely forgot to eat!
"Why is the baby crying?"
"Tell them to give Rajini Murugan tea!" (Dialogue)
For sweet-smelling breath and fine betel leaf paan,
For energy and vitality,
Hot, tasty, strong Rajini Murugan Tea!
"We have no other branches anywhere!" (Dialogue)
A love that goes on endlessly like the 'Kanni Theevu' story,
I read it like the daily newspaper!
Treating me like a salt biscuit,
When she dipped and bit into me, I crumbled!
Her playful, teasing eyes
Buy a token just to get to know me!
Her mood-lifting words
Pack up my heart as a parcel!
The glass she touches and hands to me,
Holds the very dose of life!
Watch out, watch out, danger!
"Run, run, Mr. Jack!
That wild beast
Is heading straight for us!" (Dialogue)
A steaming hot tea stall,
Turned into a flower shop because she arrived!
When this goddess looked at me in a stylish way,
I completely forgot to eat!
"Come with trust, go back with joy!" (Dialogue)
