இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் ஊத்தடி புள்ள
எனக்கு என்னமோ பண்ணுது உள்ள
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் ஊத்தடி புள்ள
எனக்கு....ஆ....ஆ....ஆ.....
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் ஊத்தடி புள்ள
எனக்கு என்னமோ பண்ணுது உள்ள
Pour a little more, my girl,
Something is happening inside me.
Pour a little more, my girl,
To me... ah... ah... ah...
Pour a little more, my girl,
Something is happening inside me.
உந்தன் கண்ணில் இருந்து
ரெண்டு அம்பு பறந்து
நெஞ்சில் வந்து பாயுதடி
அது பாயும் பொழுது
இதை போடும்பொழுது
பூமி ரொம்ப சுத்துதடி
From your eyes,
Two arrows fly,
And strike straight into my heart!
When they strike,
And when I drink this down,
The earth spins so much around!
வேண்டியதை கேளுங்க சாமி
நான் கேட்டதை கொடுக்கிற பூமி
வேண்டியதை கேளுங்க சாமி
நான் கேட்டதை கொடுக்கிற பூமி
Ask whatever you want, my lord,
I am the earth that gives whatever is asked.
Ask whatever you want, my lord,
I am the earth that gives whatever is asked.
இந்த மங்கை உடம்பு
நீங்க தின்னும் கரும்பு
போதை தரும் புது விருந்து
This young maiden's body
Is sugarcane for you to taste,
A brand new feast that induces intoxication.
இந்த தங்க கொழுசு
உங்க ரொக்க பரிசு
பாருங்கையா இதை பக்கமிருந்து
This golden anklet,
Your cash prize,
Look at this up close, sir!
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் ஊத்தடி புள்ள
எனக்கு என்னமோ பண்ணுது உள்ள
ஆ.....என்னென்னமோ பண்ணுது உள்ள
Pour a little more, my girl,
Something is happening inside me.
Ah... all sorts of things are happening inside me.
சிரிச்சா இதழ் விரிச்சா
நெஞ்சில் வெறி ஏறுது
நடந்தா இடை அசைஞ்சா
மனம் உன் மேல தாவுது
When you smile and part your lips,
A wild feverish frenzy rises in my heart!
When you walk and your waist sways,
My mind leaps towards you!
சிரிச்சா இதழ் விரிச்சா
நெஞ்சில் வெறி ஏறுது
நடந்தா இடை அசைஞ்சா
மனம் உன் மேல தாவுது
When you smile and part your lips,
A wild feverish frenzy rises in my heart!
When you walk and your waist sways,
My mind leaps towards you!
நினைச்சா என்னை நினைச்சா
உடம்பு சூடேறுமே
நினைச்சா என்னை நினைச்சா
உடம்பு சூடேறுமே
If you think... think of me,
The body heats up!
If you think... think of me,
The body heats up!
அணைச்சா கொஞ்சம் அணைச்சா
அது தன்னாலே மாறுமே
ஆஹா அணைச்சா கொஞ்சம் அணைச்சா
அது தன்னாலே மாறுமே
If you embrace me... embrace me a little,
That will automatically change!
Aaha, if you embrace me... embrace me a little,
That will automatically change!

எனக்கு என்னமோ பண்ணுது உள்ள
என்னென்னமோ பண்ணுது உள்ள
Pour a little more, my girl,
Something is happening inside me.
All sorts of things are happening inside me.
நதியா உன்னை நினைச்சேன்
அதில் நான் நீந்தவா
முறையா இது சரியா
வெட்கம் இப்போது தேவையா
I thought of you as a river,
Should I swim in it?
Is this proper? Is this right?
Is shyness necessary right now?
பொறந்தா பொண்ணா பொறந்தா
வெட்கம் தேவைதாங்க
மறைவா கொஞ்சம் மறைவா
அங்க ஆத்தோரம் வாங்கய்யா
மறைவா கொஞ்சம் மறைவா
அங்க ஆத்தோரம் வாங்கய்யா
If one is born as a woman,
Shyness is necessary, sir!
In secret... a bit secretly,
Come over there by the riverbank, sir!
In secret... a bit secretly,
Come over there by the riverbank, sir!
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் ஊத்தடி புள்ள
