எடுத்துக்க எல்லாமே எடுத்துக்க
எடுத்துக்க எல்லாமே எடுத்துக்க
நான் இதுக்கு மேலே சொல்ல மாட்டேன்
புரிஞ்சிக்க நீயாக தெரிஞ்சுக்க....
Take it, take everything.
Take it, take everything.
I will not say anything more than this.
Understand it on your own, figure it out yourself.
நீ கொஞ்சம் இடம் கொடு நெருக்கத்த வர விடு
பாத்துக்க என்னாகும் பாத்துக்க
நீ தொட நான் தொட பூவுடல் சுடசுட
சேத்துக்க உன்னோட சேத்துக்க
நீ தொட நான் தொட பூவுடல் சுடசுட
சேத்துக்க உன்னோட சேத்துக்க
நான் இதுக்கு மேலே சொல்லமாட்டேன்
பாத்துக்க நீயாக ஏத்துக்க....
Give a little room, let closeness approach.
See what happens, just see.
As you touch and I touch, as the flower-like body gets warm,
Include me as yours, embrace me as yours.
As you touch and I touch, as the flower-like body gets warm,
Include me as yours, embrace me as yours.
I will not say anything more than this.
See for yourself and accept it.
நேத்தெல்லாம் தூக்கமில்ல
நெனப்பெல்லாம் உந்தன் மேலே
மார்கழி மாசம் மாலைக் கட்டி
பங்குனி மாசம் மேளம் கொட்டி
No sleep at all last night,
All my thoughts were only on you.
Male : Weave a garland in the month of Margazhi,
Beat the celebration drums in the month of Panguni.
பாலோடு பொங்கும் பானை
பார்த்தாலே விடுமா பூனை
உன் வேகம் பொல்லாதது
என் தேகம் என்னாவது
A pot overflowing with milk,
Will a cat leave it alone once it sees it?
Your pace is wild,
What will become of my body?
ஏரோட்ட வந்தான் மச்சான்
எதுக்காக வயல வச்சான்
போகப் போக இங்கே அங்கே
போக்கிரி ராஜா சீண்டுவதென்ன
My lover came to plow,
Why did he prepare the field?
Female : As time goes by, here and there,
Why is the mischievous king teasing me?
வேறென்ன கேட்கபோறேன்
விரகத்த தீர்க்கப் போறேன்
நீ சொன்னா கல்யாணம்தான்
எந்நாளும் கச்சேரிதான்
What else am I going to ask for?
I am going to quench this yearning desire.
If you say yes, it is marriage,
Every day is a musical celebration.
சேத்துக்க உன்னோட சேத்துக்க
நான் இதுக்கு மேலே சொல்ல மாட்டேன்
புரிஞ்சிக்க நீயாக தெரிஞ்சுக்க....
Include me as yours, embrace me as yours.
I will not say anything more than this.
Understand it on your own, figure it out yourself.
தஞ்சாவூர் பொம்மை போல
தளுக்கான பொட்டப்புள்ள
ராசா வீட்டுக் கன்னுக்குட்டி
துள்ளுவதென்ன தோளைத் தட்டி
Like a Thanjavur bobblehead doll,
A stylish and elegant young girl.
Female : Calf from a royal family's house,
Why leap around breaking limits?
கொய்யாத்தான் காய்ச்சு தொங்க
கொத்தாதோ கிளியும் திங்க
என் கண்ணே செம்மாங்கனி
செம்பொன்னே சிந்தாமணி
When guava fruits hang ripe,
Won't the parrot peck and eat them?
My dear eyes, my precious red gem,
Pure gold, my Chinthamani!
காவேரி எங்கே போகும்
கடலோடு வந்தே தீரும்
வாம்மா வாம்மா வெட்கமென்ன
வட்ட நிலாவே வண்ணப் பூவே
Where else will the river Kaveri go?
It will inevitably reach the sea in the end.
Male : Come dear, come, why the shyness?
Round moon, colorful flower!
பூவாட்டம் என்னக் கிள்ளி
மெதுவாத்தான் என்ன அள்ளு
தாயாக தாலாட்டனும் உன்
சேயாக சீராட்டனும்...
Pinching me like a blossom,
Gently take me into your arms.
I should sing you a lullaby like a mother,
I should cherish you like my own child.
எடுத்துக்க எல்லாமே எடுத்துக்க
எடுத்துக்க எல்லாமே எடுத்துக்க
நான் இதுக்கு மேலே சொல்ல மாட்டேன்
புரிஞ்சிக்க நீயாக தெரிஞ்சுக்க....
Take it, take everything.
Take it, take everything.
I will not say anything more than this.
Understand it on your own, figure it out yourself.
சேத்துக்க உன்னோட சேத்துக்க
நான் இதுக்கு மேலே சொல்ல மாட்டேன்
புரிஞ்சிக்க நீயாக தெரிஞ்சுக்க....
Include me as yours, embrace me as yours.
Female : I will not say anything more than this.
