கட்டி வைத்த காமன் பாணம்
கட்டவிழுந்து போனதே
மொட்டு அவிழுந்த பூவை கொஞ்சம்
தொட்டு தொட்டு போடுதே
The bound song of cupid
Has now broken loose
It gently caresses the flower
That has just blossomed
Even if kisses are asked for
No sound will be heard outside
Even if you look all around
It will not feel like a mistake
முத்தம் கித்தம் கேட்டாலும்
சத்தம்தான் கேக்காது
அக்கம் பக்கம் பார்த்தாலும்
ஹே தப்புதான் தோணாது
In the sky rising up, hey
While going, will you come down?
Just thinking about it won't make it happen
வானம் ஏறி போகும் ராணியே ஏய்
போதும் போதும் நீ கீழ வாரியா
நெனச்சாலே அது நடக்காது
விட்ட கொற தொட்ட கொற
கிட்ட வந்து ஒட்டிக்கிடுச்சு
