எல்லோரும் செய்தாப்பல
நானும் செய்யப் போவதில்ல
சராசரி மனுஷன் கேளடி நானுமில்ல
சராசரி மனுஷன் கேளடி நானுமில்ல
சராசரி மனுஷன் கேளடி நானுமில்ல
What everyone else did

Listen girl, I am not an ordinary human being
Listen girl, I am not an ordinary human being
சகலமும் தெரிஞ்சவன் தெரிஞ்சுக்க
சகலமும் தெரிஞ்சவன் தெரிஞ்சுக்க
பழந்துணி புதுத்துணி கிழிஞ்சது பார்
I am a master of everything, understand this
I am a master of everything, understand this
See how old cloth and new cloth got torn
நான் போறேன் முன்னால
நீ வாடி பின்னால நாய்க்கரு தோட்டத்துக்கு
பேசாத கண்ணால என்னாடி அம்மாளு
வாடுற வாட்டத்துக்கு
I am going ahead
You come behind me to Naicker's garden
Don't speak with your eyes, hey Ammulu
For your longing posture
சிரிச்ச சிரிப்புல சில்லரையும் செதறுது
செவந்த முகம் கண்டு எம் மனசும் பதறுது
பவள வாயில தெரியுற அழக
பார்த்ததுமே மனசும் பட்டுத் துடிக்குது...
In the smile you smiled, even small coins scatter
When I look, why do you go away without looking?
Hey, there is nobody around us
There is no need to feel shy
Hey, there is nobody around us
There is no need to feel shy
Hey, there is nobody around us
There is no need to feel shy
ஹே ஆத்தா ஆத்தோரமா வாறியா
நான் பாத்தா பாக்காமலே போறியா
அடி அக்கம்பக்கம் யாருமில்ல
வெக்கம் கொள்ள தேவையில்ல
அடி அக்கம்பக்கம் யாருமில்ல
வெக்கம் கொள்ள தேவையில்ல
அடி அக்கம்பக்கம் யாருமில்ல
வெக்கம் கொள்ள தேவையில்ல
A fair-skinned guy
This man is a lion born to your aunt, girl
செக்கச் செவந்தவன் புள்ள
உன் அத்தப் பெத்த சிங்கம்டி இந்த ஆம்பிள.....
