இழுத்த இழுப்புக்கு வாடி புள்ள
இதுக்கு மேல நான் என்ன சொல்ல
கழுத்துக்கு கீழ ஒன்னும் இல்ல
தாலிய கட்டு டா தட்டாம்புள்ள
Come along as I drag you, girl!
What more can I say beyond this?
Female: Below my neck, there is nothing!
Tie the sacred thread, you dragonfly boy!
சண்டகோழி பசிச்சிருக்கு
சாப்பிடதான் வரவா உள்ள
கொண்டக்காரி இடுப்புக்கு தான்
கொத்து சாவி நீ தான் இல்ல
The fighting cock is hungry,
Should I come inside to eat?
Female: For the bun-wearing girl's waist,
You are the missing key ring!
இழுத்த இழுப்புக்கு வாடி புள்ள
இதுக்கு மேல நான் என்ன சொல்ல
கழுத்துக்கு கீழ ஒன்னும் இல்ல
தாலிய கட்டு டா தட்டாம்புள்ள
Come along as I drag you, girl!
What more can I say beyond this?
Female: Below my neck, there is nothing!
Tie the sacred thread, you dragonfly boy!
ஆத்தாடி அழகிய தீவே
அத்த பெத்த அதிசிய பூவே
மருதாணி சாந்தா
என்னை அரைச்சி பூசாதே
Oh my, beautiful island!
Wonder flower born to my aunt!
Like henna paste,
Don't grind and apply me!
கிளி போல உளற வேணாம்
கிட்ட வந்து அலைய வேணாம்
உன் மீசை முடியால்
நெஞ்சை ஒரசி கூசாதே
Don't chatter like a parrot,
Don't wander near me,
With your mustache hair,
Don't tickle by rubbing against my chest!
கண்ணுக்குள்ள காதலத்தான்
கண்டு புடிச்சேன்
நட்டு வச்சு பார்க்கலாம்னு
நண்டு புடிச்சேன்
மீசையால கூந்தல தான்
சிண்டு முடிச்சேன்...முடிச்சேன்
Right inside your eyes, love is what...
I found!
Thinking of seeing what was planted,
I caught a crab!
With my mustache, your hair...
I tangled up... tangled up!
வத்தி குச்சி கைய தொட்டு
பத்திகிட்டேனே
குத்த வச்ச பொண்ணு ஒன்ன
சுத்தி கிட்டேனே
உதங்கர ஒத்தடமா ஒத்தி கிட்டேனே
ஒத்தி கிட்டேனே ஒத்தி கிட்டேனே
ஒத்தி கிட்டேனே நானே
Touching the matchstick hand,
I caught fire!
A girl sitting on her heels,
I wrapped around her!
Like a riverbank lip, I pressed close,
Pressed close, pressed close!
I myself pressed close!
இழுத்த இழுப்புக்கு வாடி புள்ள
இதுக்கு மேல நான் என்ன சொல்ல
கழுத்துக்கு கீழ ஒன்னும் இல்ல
