{அம்மா அடி அம்மா
சுகம் சும்மா வருமா
Oh my goodness, dear girl!
Does joy and pleasure ever come for free?
கண்ணால் இளம் பெண்ணை
மனம் கண்டால் விடுமா
When the heart sees a young woman with its own eyes,
Will it ever let her go?
தோளிலே பூங்கொடி
சாய்ந்திடும் வேளையில்
Like a flowering vine leaning on the shoulder,
When she rests upon me,
ஆசை வெள்ளம் பாயும் எந்நாளும்
A torrent of passion floods every single day.
ஹோய்.....ஹோய்.....ஹோய்.....ஹோய்....} (2)
Hoii..hoii…hoii…hoii..
அம்மா அடி அம்மா
சுகம் சும்மா வருமா
Oh my goodness, dear girl!
Does joy and pleasure ever come for free?
அருகில் இழுத்து அனைத்து பிடித்து
மடியில் உறங்க வா
Pulling me close and holding tight,
Come sleep in my lap.
இளைய நிலவின் மழையில் நனைந்து
அழகை சுமந்து வா
Drenched in the gentle rain of the young moonlight,
Come carrying all your beauty.
ஆசை மனம் பாடும்
யாரை அது நாடும்
The longing heart sings,
Whom does it seek?
வாச மலர் சூடும்
தேவி முகம் தேடும்
Adorned with fragrant blossoms,
It seeks the face of the goddess.
கொதித்து கிடந்தது
குளிர்ந்த விறகு
நாளும் காண்போம்
காதல் சந்தோஷம்
ஹா.....ஹா......ஹா......ஹா.....
Simmering in passion,
Firewood that has cooled down.
Male: Every day we shall witness
The joy of love.
Female :Haa..haa…haa…haa..
அம்மா அடி அம்மா
சுகம் சும்மா வருமா
Oh my goodness, dear girl!
Does joy and pleasure ever come for free?
பழக பழக பசியும் எடுக்கும்
விருந்து படைக்க வா
As intimacy grows, hunger builds up,
Come to serve a feast of love.
தொடர தொடர இதயம் இனிக்கும்
இனியும் அருகில் வா
As togetherness continues, the heart tastes sweeter,
Come even closer now.
காலையிலே கூடி மாலைவரை தேடி
Uniting in the morning and exploring till evening,
காணும் சுகம் பாதி
நாளை வரும் மீதி
The joy found is only half,
The rest will come tomorrow.
விளக்கை அனைத்து
இருட்டை ரசிக்கும்
வேலை வந்தால்
தானே நன்னான்னா
Extinguishing the lamp,
Relishing the darkness,
Male: When the right moment arrives,
It will happen on its own...
ஹ்ம்ம்.....ஹ்ம்ம்.....ஹ்ம்ம்.....ஹ்ம்ம்....
Hmm..hmm..hmm..hmm..
