அருப்புக்கோட்டை அக்கா பொண்ணு
சிரிப்பா சிரிக்குது சின்னக் கண்ணு
சேலை உடுத்திய வாழைக்கண்ணு
பழகி பார்த்தா பச்ச மண்ணு
Aruppukkottai sisterly girl
Her small eyes smile with laughter
Female: The young sapling clad in a saree
An innocent child of clay once you get to know her
சிற்பம் போல சின்ன பொண்ணு
சிக்குன்னு இருக்குது
கர்ப்பமாக்கும் சக்தி ஒம்ம
கண்ணில் இருக்குது...
தித்திக்கும் தேவயானி
அடி தினந்தோறும் தேவைதான் நீ.......
A young girl sculpted like a statue
Looking slim and perfectly shaped
Female: Oh man, the power to make one pregnant
Resides within your eyes...
Male: Sweet Deveyani
Hey, you are my daily requirement...
அருப்புக்கோட்டை அக்கா பொண்ணு
சிரிப்பா சிரிக்குது சின்னக்கண்ணு......
Aruppukkottai sisterly girl
Her small eyes smile with laughter
சித்திரை மாசம் வெயிலடிக்கும்
ஐப்பசி மாசம் மழையடிக்கும்
கார்த்திகை மாசம் புயலடிக்கும்
பன்னிரண்டு மாசமும் எதிலடிக்கும்
The month of Chithirai brings heat
The month of Aippasi brings rain
The month of Karthigai brings storm
What blows during all twelve months?
கண்ணில் இருக்கும் இமையடிக்கும்
கடலில் இருக்கும் அலையடிக்கும்
காலந்தோறும் காத்தடிக்கும்
மார்பெனும் கூட்டுக்குள் மனமடிக்கும்...
The eyelashes on the eyes bat
The waves in the sea crash
The wind blows through all seasons
And the mind beats inside the cage of the chest
மனச தொறந்து வையடி
எந்நாளும் மதிய விருந்து வையடி
உன் வெட்கம் என்னும் கறை போக
முத்தம் போட்டு துவைக்கணும்
முத்தார முகம் கொடடி
Keep your heart open, my girl
Serve a grand feast every afternoon, my girl
To wash away the stain of your shyness
I must wash it with kisses
Show your pearl-like face, girl
வளைஞ்சி வளைஞ்சி கேட்கிறியே
வளையல் உடைக்க பார்க்கிறியே
பிச்சிப் பூவு நந்தவனத்தே
பீரங்கி கொண்டு தாக்குறியே
You ask coaxingly and subtly
You try to break my bangles
A garden of wild jasmine blossoms
You attack with a cannon
ஆறு மலையெல்லாம் ஜெயிக்கிறேன்
இந்த ஆறு கஜ புடவைக்கு தோக்குறேன்...
I conquer rivers and mountains
Yet I lose to this six-yard saree
அருப்புக்கோட்டை அக்கா பொண்ணு
சிரிப்பா சிரிக்குது சின்னக்கண்ணு...
Aruppukkottai sisterly girl
Her small eyes smile with laughter
முத்தம் எனக்கொண்ணும் புதுசு இல்லை
முந்தான சொகமும் புதுசு இல்லை
ஆனாலும் தீண்டு ருசி இருக்கு
ஐயா கையில் வெசையிருக்கு
A kiss is nothing new to me
A pearl-like sweet sorrow is nothing new
Yet there is a unique taste in your touch
Sir, there is magic in your hands
நம்மைப் போல் இன்பம் அடஞ்சதில்லை
நாநூறு முத்தம் கொடுத்ததில்லை
ஆனாலும் இன்னும் மிச்சமிருக்கு
ஆயிரத்து நூத்தி எட்டு வகையிருக்கு
No one has attained bliss like us
I haven't given four hundred kisses
Yet there is so much left
There are one thousand one hundred and eight varieties
போதும் போதும் நிறுத்து
அய்யோ பொறுமையில்லை எனக்கு
நீ கட்டில் மேலே வீடுகட்ட
நானும் எங்கே ஈடுகட்ட பூப்போல உடம்பெனக்கு
Enough, enough, stop it
Oh dear, I have no patience
For you to build a house upon the bed
How can I match you with my flower-like body?
நிழலு தரையில விழுகையில...
நிலத்தில் ஏதும் காயமில்லை...
பூவில் நுழையும் காத்தாக...
புகுந்து வருவேன் வாடிபுள்ளே...
When a shadow falls on the ground
The ground suffers no injury
Like gentle wind entering a flower
I will enter softly, my girl
மல்லிகப்பூ வாசம் இன்னும் தீரல...
உங்க மதுர கொணமே மாறலே...
The fragrance of jasmine hasn't faded yet
Your sweet nature hasn't changed either
அருப்புக்கோட்டை அக்கா பொண்ணு
சிரிப்பா சிரிக்குது சின்னக்கண்ணு...
Aruppukkottai sisterly girl
Her small eyes smile with laughter
சிற்பம் போல சின்னபொண்ணு
சிக்குன்னு இருக்குது...
கர்ப்பமாக்கும் சக்தி ஒம்ம
கண்ணில் இருக்குது
தித்திக்கும் தேவயானி
தினந்தோறும் தேவைதான் நீ...
A young girl sculpted like a statue
Looking slim and perfectly shaped
Female: Oh man, the power to make one pregnant
Resides within your eyes...
Male: Sweet Deveyani
Hey, you are my daily requirement...
அருப்புக்கோட்டை அக்கா பொண்ணு
சிரிப்பா சிரிக்குது சின்னக்கண்ணு
சேலை உடுத்திய வாழைக்கண்ணு
