Hmm mmm... Male: Hello!
Aiyo aiyo, aaha haha!
... Female: ...
Baba, give me a tickle!
Come, let's see if it turns into a hundred tickles!
Baba, come to my side,
Come, let's find the mole on the top of your head!
The hair tied over your forehead bounces and drives me crazy!
Oh beard, why hesitate? Turn gentle and calm!
If you change just a little, you will reach great heights!
Don't pamper me, don't sweet-talk, and don't ask for tickles!
Baba won't change just because you tell him to!
If I stay true to myself, it's good for the whole land!
There will be no trouble at all, aha haha!
Baba, give me a tickle!
Come, let's see if it turns into a hundred tickles!
Baba, come to my side,
Come, let's find the mole on the top of your head!
When I lovingly ask you to come,
Baba, don't say no!
When a storm strikes, you offer a bouquet of flowers;
You are an unsolved puzzle, Baba!
I am no puzzle, no puzzle—I am an unburied treasure!
Tamil Nadu, Tamil Nadu is my very lifeblood!
If you approach with love, Baba is like a child;
But if you come looking for trouble...
Baba, give me a tickle!
Come, let's see if it turns into a hundred tickles!
Baba, come to my side,
Come, let's find the mole on the top of your head!
The hair tied over your forehead bounces and drives me crazy!
Oh beard, why hesitate? Turn gentle and calm!
If you change just a little, you will reach great heights!
Baba, with so many women waiting at your doorstep,
Why did you choose me?
So that my complexion changes to match yours,
Grant me a wish, Baba!
Fate came and met the bow crafted by wisdom,
What can I do about it, aha aha?
This is no ordinary skin tone, it came as a blessing,
Gifted to me by my mother, aha aha!
Baba, give me a tickle!
Come, let's see if it turns into a hundred tickles!
Baba, come to my side,
Come, let's find the mole on the top of your head!
The hair tied over your forehead bounces and drives me crazy!
Oh beard, why hesitate? Turn gentle and calm!
If you change just a little, you will reach great heights!
Don't pamper me, don't sweet-talk, and don't ask for tickles!
Baba won't change just because you tell him to!
Aaha haha!
If I stay true to myself, it's good for the whole land!
There will be no trouble at all, aha haha!
