ஆவி... ஆ ஆ ஆவி
ஆவி பறக்கும் டீ கட
அவ வந்ததனால பூக்கட
தேவி தினுசா பாத்திட
நான் மறந்தே போனேன் சாப்பிட
Vapor... ah ah vapor
A tea shop with steaming hot tea
Because she arrived, it turned into a flower shop
Seeing the goddess in a unique way
I even forgot to eat my food
காதல் என்னும் டீயில
நெஞ்ச பண்ணா நெனச்சிட்டா
தேடி வந்த தேவதை
என்ன நேக்கா குடிச்சிட்டா
In the tea called love
She thought of my heart as a bun
The angel who came looking for me
Drank me up completely
நேத்து வரைக்கும் நானும்தான்
ஆகாம இருந்தேன் போனியா
அவ பாத்து சிாிச்ச பிறகுதான்
ஆனேனே சால்ட்டும் சீனியா சீனியா சீனியா
Until yesterday, even I
Had no sales at all
Only after she looked at me and smiled
I became salt and sugar, sugar, sugar
ஆவி... ஆ ஆ ஆவி
ஆவி பறக்கும் டீ கட
அவ வந்ததனால பூக்கட
தேவி தினுசா பாத்திட
நான் மறந்தே போனேன் சாப்பிட
Vapor... ah ah vapor
A tea shop with steaming hot tea
Because she arrived, it turned into a flower shop
Seeing the goddess in a unique way
I even forgot to eat my food
காதல் என்பது டபரா செட்டு
காலந்தோறுமே பிாியாது
ஆசை என்பது பலகார தட்டு
மூடி வெய்க்கவும் முடியாது
The place preferred by successful people
Rajinimurugan tea stall
சூட ஏத்தும் பாய்லரா
அவளது மேனியும் தோணுதே
சுக்கு மல்லி காபியாய்
அவளது வாசன வீசுதே
Love is like a dabara set
Once mixed, it never separates
Desire is like a snack tray
It cannot be kept covered
அவ பேச்சு செம டேஸ்டு
நெனச்சாலே அது பூஸ்ட்டு
கேட்டுக்கோ கேட்டுக்கோ மேட்டரு
Like a boiler raising heat
Her body seems to feel warm too
Like dry ginger coriander coffee
Her fragrance blows around
ஆவி பறக்கும் டீ கட
அவ வந்ததனால பூக்கட
தேவி தினுசா பாத்திட
நான் மறந்தே போனேன் சாப்பிட
Her talk is super tasty
Just thinking of it gives an energy boost
Listen, listen to this matter
கொழந்த ஏன் அழறது
ரஜினி முருகன் டீய குடிக்க சொல்லு
A tea shop with steaming hot tea
Because she arrived, it turned into a flower shop
Seeing the goddess in a unique way
I even forgot to eat my food
வாய் மணக்க தாம்பூலம்
சிறக்க உடல் சுறுசுறுப்புக்கு
சூடான சுவையான ஸ்ட்ராங்கான
ரஜினிமுருகன் டீ எங்களுக்கு
வேறெங்கும் கிளைகள் இல்லை
Why is the baby crying?
Tell them to give Rajini Murugan tea
கன்னி தீவப் போல்
தொடரும் லவ்வ டெய்லி
பேப்பரா படிச்சேனே உப்பு
பிஸ்கட்டா அவளும் என்ன
தொட்டு திங்கவே உடைஞ்சேனே
Mouth smelling sweet, betel leaves shining red
For bodily alertness
Hot, delicious, strong Rajinimurugan tea
We have no other branches anywhere else
ஜாடை காட்டும் கண்ணுதான்
பழகிட டோக்கனும் வாங்குதே
மூட மாத்தும் சொல்லுதான்
மனசையும் பாா்சலு போடுதே
Love continuing like the Kanni Theevu comic strip
I read it in the daily newspaper
Treating me like a salt biscuit
I broke as soon as she touched and ate me
அவ தொட்டு தரும்
கிளாசு அதிலேதான் உயிா் டோசு
பாத்துக்கோ பாத்துக்கோ டேஞ்சரு
Her eyes that throw winks and gestures
Take a token to get acquainted
Her words that alter my mood
Pack my heart into a parcel
ஓடுங்க ஓடுங்க
மிஸ்டா் ஜேக் அந்த கொடிய
மிருகம் நம்மள நோக்கிதான் வந்துட்டு இருக்கு
The glass touched and served by her
Contains the life dose in it
Watch out, watch out, it's danger
ஆவி பறக்கும் டீ கட
அவ வந்ததனால பூக்கட
தேவி தினுசா பாத்திட
நான் மறந்தே போனேன் சாப்பிட
Run, run Mr. Jack
That ferocious beast
Is coming right towards us
