From 'Aa' to 'Akh' (Tamil alphabet from start to finish), man!
Female: Haan!
Male: My niece is an absolute high, man!
Female: Haan haan!
Male: From A to Z, man!
She is shining bright like a stainless steel plate, man!
Come inside the little coconut shell, girl!
The two of us can cook
A picnic meal together and eat it!
Her figure curved like the number eight,
I am now going to make it
Into top number one, man... ahhh...

She stands sleek like a banana tree!
She is so smooth, she slips right through!
She multiplies desires like compound interest!
She rolls her eyes and glares at me!

She stands sleek like a banana tree!
She is so smooth, she slips right through!
She multiplies desires like compound interest!
She rolls her eyes and glares at me!
If you are one tangy raw mango,
You are like the rich Madhavaram dairy farm!
For me to scoop and feast upon,
Come closer to me, girl!
From the top of my head to my toes,
To get goosebumps because of you,
Lull this innocent child like a baby,
By swaying your waist!
As you walk away in the distance,
My heart sways and loses its balance, girl!

Girl with a round one-rupee bindi,
So clever when it comes to cooperating,
Swaying and shaking softly as she arrives,
Quenching all my thirst,
Just like a water tanker lorry!

Girl with a round one-rupee bindi,
So clever when it comes to cooperating,
Swaying and shaking softly as she arrives,
Quenching all my thirst,
Just like a water tanker lorry!
Her beauty from behind is a flower garden,
Her beauty from the front is a mango grove,
Standing from afar to protect it all,
I am that devoted gardener!
In the middle of a severe drought,
If I just catch a glimpse of you,
My parched, longing heart turns
Into the gushing Courtallam waterfalls!
My house and all my wealth,
I will sign over in your name!
If you just stay by my side,
It will be pure celebration!
From 'Aa' to 'Akh', man!
Female: Haan!
Male: My niece is an absolute high, man!
Female: Haan haan!
Male: From A to Z, man!
She is shining bright like a stainless steel plate, man!

A picnic meal together and eat it!
