Don't dress up like an ascetic
And go around chanting 'Siva Sambo'
You are already very late
Don't leave me high and dry
நீ சன்னியாசி வேஷம் போட்டு
சிவசம்போன்னு போகாதே
நீ இப்போதே ரொம்ப லேட்டு
என்ன அம்போன்னு ஆக்காதே
The chilly breeze is blowing
The wet seedling is trembling
Place your hand around my waist
Peck and gather me onto yourself
அடிக்கிதே ஊதக் காத்து
துடிக்கிதே ஈர நாத்து
இடுப்புல கையச் சேத்து
உன்ன என் மேலே கோத்து
It is good fortune, great fortune
It is a good time, great time
Come on, it's a great opportunity
Dance along with me
If you give one, I will give two
If you give two, I will give three
Desirous kisses

ஞான் எந்நாளும் நோட்டம் போடும்
என் ஹிரோ நீ மம்முட்டி
I have bolted the door locked
There is no one around to look
If I miss this chance
Tomorrow this will end up bad, won't it?
டோரை ஞான்
தாழ்ப்பாள் போட்டேன்
யாருமே நோக்கான் இல்ல
சான்சை ஞான் விட்டால் எங்கில்

Hold me, hold me against your chest
Oh honey, honey from the high branch
Take it, listen to me and take it
Touch me and compose a tune

Beyond the translation

This energetic song features a playful, flirtatious exchange where a Malayali woman expresses her affectionate interest in her partner. She humorously urges him to drop his aloof, ascetic demeanor and embrace the romantic moment. Blending Tamil and Malayalam words, the lyrics use vivid cultural references—such as jackfruit juice, Thrissur, and iconic hero Mammootty—to convey playful urgency, romance, and joy.
