காக்கா முட்டை காக்கா முட்டை
காக்கா முட்டை காக்கா முட்டை
காக்கா முட்டை கண்ணால தான்
கபடி ஆடுவேன்
கன்னி காலம் நேரம் பார்த்திடாம
மகுடி ஊதுவேன்
Crow's egg, crow's egg
Crow's egg, crow's egg
With my crow-egg-like eyes
I will play kabaddi
Without waiting for youth's perfect time
I will play the charmer's flute
வேட்டி கட்டும் உங்களுக்கு
கிறுக்கு ஏத்துவேன்
ஒன்னு வேண்டும் வர மேனியால
சரக்க ஊத்துவேன்
To you men wearing traditional dhotis
I will drive you crazy
With a body resembling golden purity
I will pour intoxicating joy
இருப்பவங்க ஜாக்கெட்டுல
பணத்த குத்துங்க
ஏதும் இல்லாதவங்க
போகும் வர கைய தட்டுங்க
ரசிப்பவங்க சொக்கி நில்லுங்க
என்ன ரகசியமா முத்து பண்ணுங்க
Those who have money, in my blouse
Tuck the cash inside
Those who have nothing, until you leave
Just clap your hands
Those who enjoy, stand mesmerized
Kiss me secretly

தேவை இருந்தா என்ன
திரும்ப திரும்ப நெருங்கலாம்
If you have the grit, me
You can come to relish
If you have the need, me
You can approach again and again
காசு இருந்தா என்ன
வாங்கி விடலாம்
காதல் இருந்தா என்ன
கடைசி வர தொடரலாம்
If you have the money, me
You can buy and enjoy
If you have true love, me
You can follow till the very end
தயங்கி நிக்குற ஆளு
நோயில் படுக்குறான்
கலவி கொள்ளுற ஆளு
வாழ்வ ஜெயிக்குறான்
The guy who hesitates
Lies down sick in bed
The guy who embraces love
Wins in life
Nothing here is a mistake
If you do not scoop up and hold
Your blood will dry up

கிட்டத்தில் அடி நீயும்
வராதே வீணே
Without daring to hold me
Standing at a distance
If you just wish to catch fire
It will never happen
கட்டிக்க துணியாம
எட்டத்தில் இருந்தே நீ
பத்திக்க நெனச்சாலே

Do not let it wander here and there
Do not sever what is burning
Come to me, do not feel shy

Anyone for a few days in this
Come engage in playful romance
நீயும் சில நான்
இங்கே நானும் சில நாள்
யாரும் சில நாள் இந்த
நிலையில் சரசம் புரிய வா
To make the family prosper, light up
The sacred traditional lamp
You must understand that I too am
Just a feisty young woman
குடும்பம் விளங்க ஏத்து
குத்து விளக்க தான்
புரிஞ்சி கொள்ளணும் நானும்
சின்ன சிலுக்கு தான்
இருக்கும் மட்டும் என்ன ஓட்டுங்க
இறுக்கி கொள்ள கப்பங்கட்டுங்க
Enjoy me as long as it lasts
Tie a protective band to hold me tighter
