Oh lady, when you
Come in front of me
My heart bubbles up on its own
Uncontrollable person
I leaned down like a falling umbrella...
With eyes that pierce like a poison needle
Oh good lady...
அம்மணி நீ
முன்னே வந்தாலே
பொங்குது என் நெஞ்சம்
தன்னாலே அடங்காத
ஆளே கூட சாஞ்சேன்
கீழே விஷ ஊசி குத்தி
போறா கண்ணாலே
நல்லாலே
Oh lady, when your
Presence appears in front
My heart overflows automatically!
Uncontrollable person
I leaned down like a falling umbrella...
With eyes that pierce like a poison needle
Oh good lady...
அம்மணி உன்
முன்னே வந்தாலே
பொங்குதடா என் நெஞ்சம்
தன்னாலே அடங்காத
ஆளே கூட சாஞ்சேன்
கீழே விஷ ஊசி குத்தி
போறா கண்ணாலே
நல்லாலே
I am a single man
Coming to join you
When will you join me
And come to give me a kiss...
ஒண்டி கட்ட
நானும் உன்ன வந்து
சேர எப்ப என்ன சேர்ந்து
இச்சு வெக்க வார
Raining down like a shower
And sifting through my heart...
Striking a silent blow...
You make me soak inside...
மழையா பெஞ்சி
மனசையும் ஆஞ்சி ஊம
குத்து குத்தி என்ன ஊற
வெக்குறியே
Making the milk boil over...
You stand looking full of life...
பால பொங்கவெச்சி
பொறை ஏற நிக்குறியே
Oh lady, when you
Come in front of me
Female: My heart bubbles up automatically, man
Male: Uncontrollable guy
I leaned down like a falling umbrella...
Female: Piercing like a poison needle
With eyes that go by
Oh good person...
அம்மணி நீ
முன்னே வந்தாலே
பொங்குதடா
நெஞ்சம் தன்னாலே
அடங்காத
ஆளே கூட சாஞ்சேன்
கீழே
விஷ ஊசி குத்தி
போறா கண்ணாலே
நல்லாலே

.............................
Thinking about the whole town
I fell in love, my dear
Even the lie that was spoken
Has turned into truth...
ஊர எண்ணி
நானே காதலிச்சேன்
மானே சொன்ன பொய்யும்
கூட உண்மையானதே
Hearing that single word
I too joined along
When looking closely at you
My mind changes...
ஒத்த சொல்ல
கேட்டு நானும் வெச்சேன்
கூட்டு உன்ன உத்து பாத்தா
புத்தி மாறுதே
Through all times
You and I in each other's lap...
Female: We must see
A hundred crore dawns...
காலந்தோறும்
நீயும் நானும் மடியிலே
காணவேணும்
நூறு கோடி விடையாலே
An unceasing desire...
To talk with you...
Lean on my shoulder and swing
Without sleeping...
ஓயாத ஆச
உன்கூட பேச தோளில்
சாய்ந்து ஊஞ்சலாடு
தூங்கிடாமலே
Oh lady, when you
Come in front of me
My heart bubbles up on its own
Female: Uncontrollable guy
I leaned down like a falling umbrella...
With eyes that pierce like a poison needle
Oh good lady...
அம்மணி நீ
முன்னே வந்தாலே
பொங்குது என் நெஞ்சம்
தன்னாலே
அடங்காத
ஆளே கூட சாஞ்சேன்
கீழே விஷ ஊசி குத்தி
போறா கண்ணாலே
நல்லாலே
An eight-layered cornfield
A golden bead necklace
You are an innocent child
Above all of those...
எட்டடுக்கு
சோலை தங்கமணி
மாலை பச்சப்புள்ள
நீதான் அத்தனைக்கும்
மேல
Casting a net
The mustache that draws near
When my body sees you...
It composes a praising song...
வலைய வீச
நெருங்குற மீசை தேகம்
உன்னைக்கண்டா எசப்பாட்டு
கட்டிடுதே
My entire soul...
Sticks like glue...
ஆவி மொத்தமுமே
பிசின்போல ஒட்டிடுதே
Oh lady, when you
Come in front of me
My heart bubbles up on its own
Oh lady...
அம்மணி நீ
முன்னே வந்தாலே
பொங்குது என் நெஞ்சம்
தன்னாலே அம்மணி யே.....
