When I think of you,
it is pure fun and thrill!
Shall I come a little closer,
my handsome man?
Inside my lips,
is the sweet juice of wine!
Both my eyes hold
an intoxicating poison!
For me, it's Sulur,
to live, it's Melur,
to learn, it's Keelur!
Who am I? I'm a riddle, come on, hey!

Thaajum thaajum
Female: When I think of you,

Thaajum thaajum
Female: Inside my lips,
is the sweet juice of wine!
Both my eyes hold
an intoxicating poison!
{When there is hunger, it asks for food,
when youth arrives, it asks for a partner!
Why let shyness overflow over this?
A well keeps springing fresh water only when drawn!} (2)
I have got such a burning thirst,
and the water is in trouble!
Without ever saying no,
I will scoop up and give you everything!
Oh handsome man, hey!
You are truly a clever player!
Oh handsome, charming man,
come follow right behind us, hey!
When I think of you,
it is pure fun and thrill!
Shall I come a little closer,
my handsome man?
Inside my lips,
is the sweet juice of wine!
Both my eyes hold
an intoxicating poison!
For me, it's Sulur,
to live, it's Melur,
to learn, it's Keelur!

{Who has ever measured the depth of the sea, sir?
Who has ever reached all the way to the bottom, sir?
If someone has, show me, let's see!
Bring out the list and show it, let's see!} (2)
He built a fortress,
but did he put a lock on it?
Whichever side you touch,
sweet honey will flow from that spot!
Oh handsome man, hey!
You are truly a clever player!
Oh handsome, charming man,
come follow right behind us, hey!
When I think of you,
it is pure fun and thrill!
Shall I come a little closer,
my handsome man?
Inside my lips,
