முன்னும் பின்னும் தங்கத் தேரு
குலுங்கி நிக்குது
முத்துப்பேட்டை மச்சானுக்கு
கண்ணு சொக்குது
Front and back, like a golden chariot
She stands swaying gently
For the cousin from Muthupettai
His eyes are dazed with enchantment
உள்ளுக்குள்ளே மெல்ல மெல்ல
ஆசை துள்ளுது
ஒட்டிக் கொள்ள கட்டிக் கொள்ள
உள்ளம் சொல்லுது
Deep inside, slowly and gradually
Desire leaps up
To cling close and hug tightly
The heart urges
விடிய விடிய நாமும் ஆடிப் பாக்கலாம்
குழு :
ஹோய்
விடிந்த பின்னும் கூட தேடிப் பாக்கலாம்
குழு :
ஹோய்
Let us dance and celebrate until dawn breaks
Even after dawn breaks, let us seek each other
While youthfulness is still here
You should enjoy the pleasure
விடிய விடிய நாமும் ஆடிப் பாக்கலாம்
விடிந்த பின்னும் கூட தேடிப் பாக்கலாம்
இளமை காலம் இருக்கும்போதே
சுகத்த நீயும் அனுபவி

Song interpretation
This energetic Tamil folk song portrays a playful romantic dialogue and longing expressed by a young woman (the sister's daughter / maternal cousin) toward her beloved cousin ('Aththaan' or 'Machchan'). She expresses her affection, inviting him to shed his hesitation and embrace her. She describes her feelings of loneliness during the night, comparing her beauty to a golden chariot and expressing her eager desire for intimacy while youth still lingers.
