அழகான சின்னக்குட்டி ஆட்டம் போடுது

A beautiful little kid/goat
Is dancing around
And singing a song
அழகான சின்னக்குட்டி ஆட்டம் போடுது

என்னத்த தேடுது
ஆத்துல வீசும் காத்து புது ராகம் பாடுது
வாடாத மருதாணி நான் வாலிபத்து மகாராணி
வாடாத மருதாணி நான் வாலிபத்து மகாராணி
Looking here and there

A dream is growing
Like the boundary ridge in a field
It remains hidden
அருகம்புல்லும் அடிச்ச நெல்லும் துணைக்கு இருக்குது
ஒனக்கு பாதி எனக்கு பாதி வெளைஞ்சு இருக்குது
Inside a young girl's heart
A dream is growing
Like the boundary ridge in a field
It remains hidden

வாடாதோ மருதாணி நான் வாலிபத்து மகாராணி
Bermuda grass and harvested paddy

Half for you and half for me
