Chinna ponnu pakkathula
Annam neeyum vekkathilae… vaa kitta vaa

Nee paarkkum paarvaiyilae
Naan kulichen vervaiyilae
Nee paarkkum paarvaiyilae
Naan kulichen vervaiyilae
Chinna ponnu pakkathula
Annam ava vekkathula… poo thalli poo
Ettu naala thookkamilla
Ellaam undhan yekkathula hum hum…..hum mmmm….
Aavaaram thoppula ava pora pokkula
Kolusu pochi konji kolusu pochu
Tholanju pochu manasu tholanji pochu
Vaazhathandu kaalaiyum thaan

Haei pachakkili panju viral pattadhilae
Paavi paya nenjukkullae yedho tholla

...
With a young girl right by your side,
You shy swan, come closer, come near!
For eight days I haven't slept a wink,
All out of longing for you—give me one, just give it!
Under the way you look at me,
I was bathed in my own sweat!
Under the way you look at me,
I was bathed in my own sweat!
This young girl is right beside you,
This shy swan says, step back, move away!
For eight days you haven't slept,
All out of longing for me, hmm hmm...
In the aavaram flower grove, as she walked along,
My anklet came off, my sweet anklet was lost!
It was lost, my heart too was lost!
When my smooth, tender legs,
My sweetheart touched... ah!
He made this slender girl bend in shyness!
When my smooth, tender legs,
My sweetheart touched... ah!
He made this slender girl bend in shyness!
Hey, my shy marigold blossom,
Push your fear aside, won't you? Ah...
My shy marigold blossom,
Push your fear aside, won't you?
This young girl is right beside you,
This shy swan says, step back, move away!
In the neem grove, my sweetheart came by, girl!
The rush of his touch burned hot, oh...
Ah... the thirst inside and the rising passion!
Hey, when the soft, cotton fingers of my green parrot touched me,
This poor fellow's heart was thrown into turmoil!
When the soft, cotton fingers of my green parrot touched me,
This poor fellow's heart was thrown into turmoil!
I cast a hook with just my eyes,
And he lost his sleep all on his own, hey!
I cast a hook with just my eyes,
And he lost his sleep all on his own!
With a young girl right by your side,
You shy swan, come closer, come near!
For eight days I haven't slept a wink,
All out of longing for you—give me one, just give it!
Under the way you look at me,
I was bathed in my own sweat!
Under the way you look at me,
I was bathed in my own sweat!
This young girl is right beside you,
This shy swan says, step back, move away!
For eight days you haven't slept,
All out of longing for me, hmm hmm...
