| Chellakkutti jora | Sweetheart goes stylishly |
| Minnikkittu pora | She goes glittering along |
| Anga inga kaatti | Showing off here and there |
| Minnal vittu poraa | She strikes like lightning and leaves |
| Male | |
| Neththi potta paathu | Aiming at the bindi on her forehead |
| Ambu vittu poraa | She shoots an arrow and leaves |
| Nimmadhiyaa vaazhndhen | I was living peacefully |
| Vambu vittu poraa | She picks a fight with me and leaves |

| Jadaiya thiruppi pottaa | She flipped her hair braid around |
| Adhu pattadhum……… | As soon as it touched... |

செல்ல குட்டி
ஜோரா மின்னி கிட்டு
போறா அங்க இங்க
காட்டி மின்னல் விட்டு
போறா
Sweetheart goes stylishly
She goes glittering along
Showing off here and there
She strikes like lightning and leaves
நெத்தி பொட்ட
பாத்து அம்பு விட்டு
போறா நிம்மதியா
வாழ்ந்தேன் வம்பு
விட்டு போறா
Aiming at the bindi on her forehead
She shoots an arrow and leaves
I was living peacefully
She picks a fight with me and leaves
சட்டுன்னு ஜடைய
திருப்பி போட்டா அது
பட்டதும் உயிர
ஒடைக்கும் தோட்டா
Suddenly...
She flipped her hair braid around
As soon as it touched...
Like a bullet breaking my soul
சக்கரையா
சக்கரையா நிக்கிறா
என்ன புத்தி கெட்டு
சுத்தி வர வைக்கிறா
Like sweet sugar, like sweet sugar
She stands there
Making me lose my mind
Making me wander around her
.........................
Babam babam babam bam
Babam babam babam bam
Babam babam babam bam
Babam babam babam bam
Babam babam babam bam
Babam babam babam bam

[Chorus]
அடியே பூங்குயிலே
தினமும் காத்திருந்தேன்
இதுவும் காதலுன்னு நான்
விரும்பி தோத்திருந்தேன்
Oh sweet cuckoo bird
Every day I was waiting
Realizing that this too is love
I willingly lost my heart
தோத்தாலும்
தோக்காம போனா நீ
பழி நானானேன் இந்த
கொக்கு கிட்ட சிக்கி
கிட்ட மீன் ஆனேன்
Even if I lost
Without retreating, you...
I became the blamed one
Near this crane
I became the fish caught in its trap
சக்கரையா
சக்கரையா நிக்கிறா
என்ன புத்தி கெட்டு
சுத்தி வர வைக்கிறா
Like sweet sugar, like sweet sugar
She stands there
Making me lose my mind
Making me wander around her
