Hey girl!
ஏ புள்ள
Dark-skinned beauty, granddaughter of the overseer,
You lure me in, wearing sweet civet perfume.
Little bird with a pretty smile, showing off your adornments,
You spread out a mat right beside my heart.
கட்ட கருப்பழகி கங்காணி பேத்தி
சுண்டி இழுக்குறியே சவ்வாது பூசி
சிட்டு சிரிப்பழகி சிங்காரம் காட்டி
பாய விரிக்கிறியே நெஞ்சோரம் நீட்டி
You build a dam and store the water,
You measure and gaze at me,
In the river where a net is cast,
You leap about just like a fish.
அண கட்டி தேக்குற
அழவச்சு பாக்குற
வல வச்ச ஆத்துல
மீன போல துள்ளுற
You embrace me and lift me up,
You adjust and transform me,
Just like pure rainwater,
You drink me up completely.
என கட்டி தூக்குற
சரிகட்டி மாத்துற
மழ தண்ணி போல தான்
என்ன நீயும் குடிக்கிற
Standing wildly, your two eyes,
Chew me, devour me, and kill me without truly killing.
ரெண்டு விழி கண்ணு கண்டபடி நின்னு
மென்னுதடி தின்னு கொல்லாம கொன்னு
Hey, like the water inside a pot,
You reside deep inside me.
Like a shady tree for resting,
I will always be there for you.
ஏய் கொடம் உள்ள நீராட்டும்
என் உள்ள நீதானே
எளப்பாறும் நெழலாட்டும்
ஒனக்காக இருப்பேனே
The dry barren land has bloomed,
Even the dragonfly's head has broken into a sweat.
Just to reveal your shyness,
The hunger nearby has grown deep.
கட்டாந்தர பூத்திடிச்சி
தட்டான்தல வேர்த்திடிச்சி
வெக்கம் உன காட்டிட தான்
பக்கம் பசி ஆகிடிச்சி
Just to stay united in love,
You, little bird, show me the way.
Just to become like bundled firewood,
Embrace me and lift me up!
ஒட்டு உறவாகிட தான்
சிட்டு வழி காட்டிடு நீ
கட்டு வெறகாகிட தான்
கட்டி என தூக்குடி நீ
Oh dear,
ஆண் குழந்தை :
{மா டி டி மாட்டிடேன்
மா டி டி மாட்டிடேன்
மா டி டி மாட்டிடேன் மாட்டிடேன்} (2)

அடியே
Just like rainwater,
You flow across my entire heart.
The glance from the corner of your eye doesn't leave,
You stand firm right inside my eyes.

சுண்டி இழுக்குறியே சவ்வாது பூசி
சிட்டு சிரிப்பழகி சிங்காரம் காட்டி
பாய விரிக்கிறியே நெஞ்சோரம் நீட்டி
Like a brooding mother hen,
You carry love so beautifully.
In the pot placed over the stove,
You bounce like boiling rice.
மழை தண்ணி போல தான்
மனசெல்லாம் ஓடுற
கட கன்னி போகள
கண்ணுக்குள்ள நிக்குற
Wait just for a moment,
Tell me the full vows,
I will tie the sacred wedding knot,
Right now!
அட வச்ச கோழியா
அழக தான் சொமக்குற
ஒல வச்ச பானயில்
அரிசியா குமிக்குற
செத்த நேரம் நில்லு
மொத்த வரி சொல்லு
கட்டிடுறேன் தாலி இப்போவே நானு
Ye pulla
