Who the biggest miser was
The miser who went to his honeymoon all alone

போட்டி ஒருவன் வைத்தான்
ஹனிமூன் போகவும் தனியாய் போய் வந்த
கஞ்சன் பரிசு பெற்றான்
A wife shook her snoring husband
And woke him up...
குறட்டை விடுகின்ற கணவனை மனைவி
உலுக்கி எழுப்பி விட்டாள்....
Ah...

He woke up and asked why she woke him
எழுப்பிய காரணம் ஏனென்று எழுந்தான்
You forgot to give me my sleeping pill
The wife replied

Ah aha...

If my sister laughs
Dimples appear on her cheek
Said a young boy
எங்க அக்கா சிரிச்சா கன்னத்தில் குழி விழும்
என்றொரு சிறுவன் சொன்னான்
On my grandmother's cheeks
Dimples/wrinkles appear even without laughing
Said another boy
எங்க பாட்டி கன்னத்தில் சிரிக்காமல் குழிவிழும்
என்றான் இன்னொருவன்
A daughter-in-law went to see a doctor
Saying a scorpion stung her on the lips
When the doctor asked how a scorpion bit her lips
It bit my mother-in-law, so
I grabbed the scorpion and kissed it
மருமகள் ஒருத்தி டாக்டரை பார்த்தாள்
தேள் உதட்டில் கொட்டியதென்று
உதட்டில் தேள்கடி எப்படியென்று டாக்டர் கேட்க
எனது மாமியாரை கடித்த தேளென்று
எடுத்து முத்தம் தந்தேன்
Oh my god...
அய்யோ...
That wicked scorpion
Bit my lips
And my lips swelled up
That wicked scorpion
Bit my lips
And my lips swelled up
பொல்லாத தேள் எந்தன் உதட்டில் கடித்தது
உதடும் தடித்ததென்றாள்
பொல்லாத தேள் எந்தன் உதட்டில் கடித்தது
உதடும் தடித்ததென்றாள்
