Sucking it with lips, sucking it
Sucking it, sucking it...
அடி பப்பாளி பழமே
என் தக்காளி ரசமே
உங்கக்கா கிட்ட என்ன பத்தி
கொஞ்சம் சொல்லு
அப்படி சொல்லலைனா
உன் மேல தாண்டி ஜொள்ளு
Oh papaya fruit-like girl
My delicious tomato soup
About me, to your elder sister

அடி உருள கழங்கு வறுவல
கருண கிழங்கு துவையல
பார்வையிலே காச்சுரியே அடி கல்லு
அதுல தோத்து போகும்
பாரின்ல விக்கிற புல்லு
Hey, girl like potato fry
Like yam chutney
Your gaze holds a concert of country liquor
Compared to which will lose
A full bottle of foreign liquor
அட மூடுமந்திர ராசா
என் முந்திரி சாராய சீசா
சைடுல தான் போடுறியே ரூட்டு
என் மனசுல தான் ஏறுதடா பீட்டு
Oh spellbinding king of mine
My cashew liquor bottle
You are taking a side route
A beat is rising inside my heart
அட பொங்கி பாயும் ஆறு நீ
இந்த பொட்ட கோழி ஜோடி நீ
நரம்பு பொடச்சு பாடுறியே பாட்டு
நீ வரம்பு ஒடச்சு உன்ன எனக்கு காட்டு
Oh, you are an overflowing river
You are the match for this hen
You sing a song with bulging veins
Break the boundaries and show yourself to me

உன் காதோரம் ஆடு தோடு
ராகம் பாடுது
எனக்கு மத்தியான நேரம் கூட
மோகம் கூடுது
The dangling earring near your ear
Sings a melodic tune
For me, even during the afternoon hours
It gives rise to passion
உன் வெளைஞ்சி கெடக்கும்
ஒடம்ப பாத்தா
வீரம் பொறக்குது
இந்த சமைஞ்ச பூவு அறுவடைக்கு
பாரம் சுமக்குது
Looking at your fully grown
Body
Valor is born within me
This mature flower, for harvest
Bears a heavy weight
ஆணும் பொன்னும் பாதி பாதி
சேட்டை செய்யுற பூமி
உன்ன அள்ளிக்கிட்டு போறேன்
நான் தான்
ஜல்லிக்கட்டு சாமி
Man and woman, half and half
The earth where mischief is made
I will carry you away, for I am
The hero of Jallikattu
உண்ணா பசிக்கும்
திண்ணா செரிக்கும்
பொண்ணு ஒரு உணவு
உன் கண்ணு முன்னால
காத்து கெடக்கு
கைய வெச்சி பழகு
It will make you hungry, and digesting it satisfies
A woman is like food
Waiting right before your eyes
Get used to touch with your hands
மலையில் ஒரு குருவி குருவி
தனியா தான் சிக்கிக்கிச்சாம்
வேடன் கண் பாக்க பாக்க
மனசில் தீ பத்திக்கிச்சாம்
A bird on the mountain
Got trapped all alone, it seems
Female: As the hunter kept watching
A fire caught in the heart, it seems
சிக்கிக்கிச்சாம்
பத்திக்கிச்சாம்
சிக்கிக்கிச்சாம்
பத்திக்கிச்சாம்
Got trapped
Female: Caught fire
Male: Got trapped
Female: Caught fire
அடி பப்பாளி பழமே
என் தக்காளி ரசமே
உங்கக்கா கிட்ட பெண் :
ம்..
உங்கக்கா கிட்ட பெண் :
ஹாஹான்
உங்கக்கா கிட்ட என்ன பத்தி
கொஞ்சம் சொல்லு
அப்படி சொல்லலைனா
உன் மேல தாண்டி ஜொள்ளு...ஹோய்
