ஆண்
: சிக்குலெட்டு சிக்குலெட்டு
சிட்டு குருவி
ரோட்டுல நடந்தா கொட்டும் அருவி
கட்டுலெட்டு கட்டுலெட்டு
கன்னந்தடவி
காத்துல பரந்தா கொஞ்சம் நழுவி
Chicklet, chicklet, little sparrow
A gushing waterfall when walking on the road
நீ சிரிச்சதும் இப்ப எனக்கு
பீர் அடிச்சது போல இருக்கு
Chicklet, chicklet, little sparrow
A gushing waterfall when walking on the road
Cutlet, cutlet, caressing the cheek
Flew in the wind, slipping away a bit
{கூத்து நடக்குது
ஒட்டிகொள்ளதான்
குருவி தவிக்குது
தொட்டுக்கொள்ளத்தான்} (2)
When you smile now, to me
It feels like having drank a beer
சிக்குலெட்டு சிக்குலெட்டு
சிட்டு குருவி
ரோட்டுல நடந்தா கொட்டும் அருவி
கட்டுலெட்டு கட்டுலெட்டு
கன்னந்தடவி
காத்துல பரந்தா கொஞ்சம் நழுவி
{A dance performance is happening
To cling close together
The sparrow yearns
To touch each other} (2)
எம் டிவி பிகரு எல்லாம்
எதிரில் வந்து நின்னா நியாயமா
எல் கே ஜி யூ கே ஜி படிக்கும்
பையனுக்கு தாங்குமா
Chicklet, chicklet, little sparrow
A gushing waterfall when walking on the road
Cutlet, cutlet, caressing the cheek
Flew in the wind, slipping away a bit
ஆஜா மேரி ஜான்
ஆட்டம் போட வரியா
சார்ஜா மேட்சபோல
போட்டி போட ரெடியா
ரெட்ட ஜெட பறக்குது
மொட்ட தல மொளைக்குது
All those MTV beauties
Is it fair if they come and stand right in front?
Will a young boy studying in LKG or UKG
Be able to handle this?
{கூத்து நடக்குது
ஒட்டிகொள்ளதான்
குருவி தவிக்குது
தொட்டுக்கொள்ளத்தான்} (2)
Come, my darling

Hair sprouts on a bald head

உன்ன நெனைச்சா உள்ளுக்குள்ளத்தான்
ரயிலு இஞ்சின் ஒன்னு ஓடுது
சின்ன கிளிதான் கண்ணு அடிச்சா
மனசு சாட்டிலைட்டா மாறுது
Chicklet, chicklet, little sparrow
A gushing waterfall when walking on the road
Cutlet, cutlet, caressing the cheek
Flew in the wind, slipping away a bit
பாப்பா இடுப்புல
கதகலி நடக்குது
பாத்தா மனசுல
தக்கதிமி அடிக்குது
முக்காபுலா நடக்குது
கொக்க கோலா குடிக்குது
Yeh hei…
Hei ..ee….
When thinking of you, deep inside
A train engine is running
When the little parrot winks an eye
The mind turns into a satellite
{கூத்து நடக்குது
ஒட்டிகொள்ளதான்
குருவி தவிக்குது
தொட்டுக்கொள்ளத்தான்} (2)
On the girl's waist
Kathakali dance takes place
In the heart that sees it
Rhythmic beats thump away
A face-off is happening
Drinking Coca-Cola
சிக்குலெட்டு சிக்குலெட்டு
சிட்டு குருவி
ரோட்டுல நடந்தா கொட்டும் அருவி
கட்டுலெட்டு கட்டுலெட்டு
கன்னந்தடவி
காத்துல பரந்தா கொஞ்சம் நழுவி
{A dance performance is happening
To cling close together
The sparrow yearns
To touch each other} (2)
