Chittu en chittu
Un rekkaiyaala vettu
Un nenjil vechi kattu
Adi fulla vettu vettu
Muttu nee muttu
Oru maattu komba pola
Adi kettuppochu moola
Ini kattilukku vela
Nenjil kaadhal vandhaakkaa
Nitham thoongu mallaakkaa
Royapuram maappilla
Vandhuttaan daa daa

{Dance with me,
Dance with me,
Dance with me, my moon!
Who cares about stones or thorns?
Dance with me, my wave!
What difference is there between you and me?
Dance with me, my sculpture!
Two bodies, one soul,
Dance with me, my flower!} (2)
My sweet bird, my sparrow,
strike me with your wings!
Hold me tight against your chest,
girl, strike and slash all the way!
Butt against me,
just like the horns of a bull!
Girl, my mind has gone wild,
now the bed has work to do!
When love enters your heart,
sleep flat on your back every single day!
The groom from Royapuram
has arrived!
{Dance with me,
Dance with me,
Dance with me, my moon!
Who cares about stones or thorns?
Dance with me, my wave!
What difference is there between you and me?
Dance with me, my sculpture!
Two bodies, one soul,
Dance with me, my flower!} (2)
{Yayaiya ya ya ya ya yaandi,
Yayaiya ya ya ya ya yaandi,
Yayaiya ya ya ya ya yaandi,
Yayayya yayayya yayayya yaandi yaandi!} (2)
Just a glance from you, and I die,
just a touch of your hand, and I burn!
I am like an unstrung garland,
you are out of reach for a poor guy like me!
A new sari floats on the bed,
in burning breath, the girl trembles!
Taking away shyness, shutting off the light,
let the dawn not wake us!
Don't look into my eyes when you talk, girl,
my legs are dancing wildly like a kavadi!
Oh, I can't take it anymore!
Hey, my cart won't move
until you come to me!
Hey, dance with me,
Dance with me,
Dance with me, my moon!
Who cares about stones or thorns?
Dance with me, my wave!
What difference is there between you and me?
Dance with me, my sculpture!
Two bodies, one soul,
Dance with me, my flower!
Hey, you blossom with your smile,
you shoot looks like an arrow from a bow!
Tell me, what are you asking for?
You strike like a flash of lightning!
Tearing open my tightly locked heart,
letting your pillow bathe in turmeric,
you strut around like an officer,
bring roots along, boy, to string the flowers!
Hey, I am aching because of you,
I am steaming like an idli cloth!
I am begging you like a beggar,
just like a pet dog in your house,
touch me and stroke me!
Dance with me,
Dance with me,
Dance with me, my moon!
Who cares about stones or thorns?
Dance with me, my wave!
What difference is there between you and me?
Dance with me, my sculpture!
Two bodies, one soul,
Dance with me, my flower!
{Hey hey hey hey,
Hey hey hey hey,
Hey hey hey hey,
Hey hey hey hey} (2)
