♫ Tanglish lyrics
↻ English translation
Eecham pazham seevapae
Kannil eetti vacha kurukupae
Eerakola nadunguthadi
Athu eeran sotta urugudhadi
En thookam thooram poiye
Haaiyaiyo en thookam thooram poiye
Thookula thaan thongudhadi
Girl with the red glow of a ripe date,
Cheeky one with spears in your eyes,
The core of my heart is trembling, girl,
Dripping wet, it melts away, girl!
My sleep has gone far away,
Oh no, my sleep has gone far away,
And is hanging from a noose, girl!
