| { Enna nenacha nee enna nenacha | What did you think, oh what did you think, |
| En nenjukulla unna vechu thacha podhu } (2) | When I stitched you deep inside my heart? |
| Female | |
| { Sokki thavichen sokki thavichen | I swooned in fascination, I swooned in fascination, |
| Naan sokka thangam kittiyadha thulli kudhichen } (2) | I jumped in joy as if I had acquired pure gold! |
| Kutraala saaral adhu kannoram oori vara | As the drizzle of Kuttralam trickles near the corner of my eyes, |
| Onna nenachen naan onna nenachen | I thought only of you, I thought only of you. |
| Endha poorva jenma punniyamo unna adainjen | By virtue of good deeds from some past birth, I gained you. |
| Male | |
| Naandhara sirpam unnoda veppam | A bronze sculpture! Your warmth... |
| Naan thottu paakurappo enna nenacha | What did you think when I touched and felt it? |
| Female | |
| Theekuchi vandhu theekuchi kitta | I thought a matchstick came close to another matchstick |
| Sowkiyam kekudhunu naanum nenachen | To ask how it was doing! |
| Male | |
| Un kannakuzhi mutham vechen enna nenacha | What did you think when I kissed your dimpled cheek? |
| Female | |

What did you think, oh what did you think,
When I stitched you deep inside my heart?
{ என்ன நெனச்ச
நீ என்ன நெனச்ச என்
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள உன்ன
வச்சு தச்சபோது } (2)
I swooned in fascination, I swooned in fascination,
I jumped in joy as if I had acquired pure gold!
As the drizzle of Kuttralam trickles near the corner of my eyes,
I thought only of you, I thought only of you.
By virtue of good deeds from some past birth, I gained you.
{ சொக்கி தவிச்சேன்
சொக்கி தவிச்சேன் நான்
சொக்க தங்கம் கிட்டியதா
துள்ளி குதிச்சேன் } (2)
குற்றால சாரல் அது
கண்ணோரம் ஊறி வர
உன்ன நெனச்சேன் நான்
உன்ன நெனச்சேன் எந்த
பூர்வ ஜென்ம புண்ணியமோ
உன்ன அடைஞ்சேன்
A bronze sculpture! Your warmth...
What did you think when I touched and felt it?
............................................
I thought a matchstick came close to another matchstick
To ask how it was doing!
நான் தர சிற்பம்
உன்னோட வெப்பம்
நான் தொட்டு பாக்குறப்போ
என்ன நெனச்ச
What did you think when I kissed your dimpled cheek?
தீக்குச்சி வந்து
தீக்குச்சி கிட்ட சௌக்கியம்
கேக்குதுன்னு நானும் நெனச்சேன்
I wanted to ask for one on my chest too.
உன் கன்னக்குழி
முத்தம் வச்சேன் என்ன
நெனச்ச
When listening to my great desires and hundreds of wishes,
Hey honey-jasmine girl, what did you think?
என் நெஞ்சுக்குழி
மீதும் ஒன்னு கேக்க
நெனச்சேன்
About six or seven cots and five or six cradles...
I wanted to tell you, yes I wanted to tell you,
I wanted to claim you entirely like a grand lease!
I wanted to claim you, yes I wanted to claim you,
I wanted to claim you entirely like a grand lease!
என் பேராசை
நூறாசை கேட்கையில்
அடி தேன் மல்லி நீ என்ன
நெனச்சடி
On top of the bed, when your saree
Got caught in my hands, what did you think?
ஆறேழு கட்டிலுக்கும்
அஞ்சாறு தொட்டிலுக்கும்
சொல்ல நெனச்சேன் நான்
சொல்ல நெனச்சேன் உன்ன
ஒட்டுமொத்த குத்தகையா
அள்ள நெனச்சேன் அள்ள
நெனச்சேன் நான் அள்ள
நெனச்சேன் உன்ன ஒட்டுமொத்த
குத்தகையா அள்ள நெனச்சேன்
That as usual, your playful work
Has begun, is what I thought!
............................................
What did you think when you looked at my inner wound?
மெத்தைக்கு மேல
உன்னோட சேல என்
கையில் சிக்கும் வேளை
என்ன நெனச்ச
I wanted to tell you that you should trim your nails!
எப்போதும் போல
உன்னோட வேலை
ஆரம்பம் ஆச்சுதுன்னு
நானும் நெனச்சேன்
At the moment when we merge into one,
Did you wonder if your delicate flower-like body could take it?
நீ உள்காயத்தை
பாக்குறப்போ என்ன நெனச்ச
Thinking it was performance time in marital paradise,
I hugged you tight, I hugged you tight!
Shedding my bashfulness, I hugged you tight until I lost my breath!
நீ நகம் வெட்ட
வேணுமுன்னு சொல்ல
நெனச்சேன்
I swooned in fascination, I swooned in fascination,
I jumped in joy as if I reached heaven itself!
நாம் ஒன்னோடு
ஒன்னாகும் நேரத்தில்
உன் பூந்தேகம் தாங்குமான்னு
நெனச்சயா
As the drizzle of Kuttralam trickles near the corner of my eyes,
I thought only of you, I thought only of you.
By virtue of good deeds from some past birth, I gained you.
கல்யாண
சொர்கத்துல கச்சேரி
நேரமுன்னு கட்டி புடிச்சேன்
நான் கட்டி புடிச்சேன் என்
வெட்கம் விட்டு மூச்சு முட்ட
கட்டி புடிச்சேன்
{ சொக்கி தவிச்சேன்
சொக்கி தவிச்சேன் நான்
சொர்க்கத்தையே எட்டியதா
துள்ளி குதிச்சேன் } (2)
குற்றால சாரல் அது
கண்ணோரம் ஊறி வர
உன்ன நெனச்சேன் நான்
உன்ன நெனச்சேன் எந்த
பூர்வ ஜென்ம புண்ணியமோ
உன்ன அடைஞ்சேன்
