என்னடி இந்தக் கரிசனம்
எப்படி அச்சு திருமணம்
பத்தினியாட்டம் நடிக்கிறே
பக்கத்தில் வந்து இடிக்கிறே
What is this sudden affection, girl?
How did this marriage even happen?
You act as if you are a virtuous wife,
Yet you come and bump into me closely.
வண்ண வளை போடு
மல்லியப் பூ கணக்கா
கிள்ளி எடு இன்பவல்லி இடம் வழக்கா
Cast a colorful net,
Like a jasmine flower,
Is this a parrot's sweet dispute with Inbavalli?
வஞ்சி முகம் என்ன இஞ்சி தின்ன குரங்கா
ஒட்டுறியே கொஞ்சம் எட்டி இரு ஒழுங்கா
Why is your face twisted like a monkey eating ginger?
You keep sticking to me, stay back and behave properly!
உம் மேல நான் ஆச வெச்சேன்
ஆ... ஆ.....ஆ....
எம் மேலதான் கோபமா ஆ... ஆ...
I fell in love with you,

முந்தான பந்தாட முன்னாடி வந்தாட
What will go wrong if you touch me?
With your saree pallu playing around, come in front and dance.

பிரியம் உண்டு புரிஞ்சுக்கோ

Why do you make me suffer so much?
I have suffered enough, step aside,
Understand that there is affection.
கொண்டவன விட்டு ஓடுவது முறையா
புத்தி கெட்டு நீயும் பேசுறது சரியா
Is it right to run away leaving the husband?
Is it right for you to lose your mind and talk like this?
பொன்னழகே தினம் உன்னிடத்தில் மயக்கம்
ஒன்ன விட்டு மனம் எப்படித்தான் இருக்கும்
O golden beauty, I am intoxicated by you every day,
How can my heart exist leaving you behind?
என் மேனியே நீயும் வந்தா
ஆ.....ஆ... ஆ...
உன் மேனியில் தாங்கணும் ம்ம்...
If you come near my body,
Aa... aa... aa
I should hold you against your body.. mm...
செவ்வாயிலே தேனைக் கண்டு
சிந்தாமத் தான் வாங்கணும்
Finding honey on your red lips,
I must taste it without spilling a drop.
இப்போதுதான் ஏக்கம் இல்ல
கொய்யாத கொத்தாட கொத்தோடு முத்தாட
Now there is no yearning anymore,
To kiss in bunches like unplucked fruit clusters.
