கைத் தொட்டு பார்க்கணும் வாம்மா வா
ஹூம்ம்ம் நான் வர மாட்டேன்
கத்துக்க வேணும் காதல் பாடம்
ஆஹாஹ்ஹ் எடம் தரமாட்டேன்
I want to touch your hand, come on dear, come.
Female: Hmmm, I won't come.
Male: You must learn the lesson of love.
Female: Ahaa hahaha, I won't give you space.
கல்யாணம் ஆகட்டும் போய்யா போ

Let the marriage happen first, go away, go.
Male: Ahaa haha ha, I won't let you go.
Female: When anyone nearby is watching...
Male: Oh ho ho, then I won't touch you.
நீ என்னை தோளில் வைத்து தாலாட்ட
நானுந்தன் பிள்ளைப் போல வாலாட்ட
கூச்சங்கள் என்னை விட்டு போகாது
கும்மாளம் போடச் சொன்னால் ஆகாது
You place me on your shoulders and rock me to sleep,
And I wag my tail like your child.
Female: My shyness will not leave me.
It won't do if you ask me to make merry.
ஊசிக்குள் நூலாய் உறவாடு
ஆசைக்கு நீயும் அணைப் போடு
தடை சொல்லாதே..பெண் :
ஹெஹ்
எனைக் கொல்லாதே....பெண் :
ஹேய்...
Mingle closely like thread through a needle.
Female: Put a dam on your desire.

Male: Ha ha ha, I won't go away.
Female: When someone nearby is looking...
Male: Oh it is fine, then I won't touch you.
ஹாஹ்ஹா.....நான் போமாட்டேன்
பக்கத்தில் யாரும் பாக்கும்போது
பரவாயில்லை......அப்ப தொடமாட்டேன்
A honeycomb dripping inside the body,
Play until all desires are satisfied.
Male: You are not just a woman, you are a river of milk.
It is all the sweet trouble caused by love.
தேகத்தில் ஊறும் தேன் கூடு
தேவைகள் தீரும் வரை நீயாடு
பெண்ணல்ல நீயும் ஒரு பாலாறு
எல்லாமே காதல் செய்யும் கோளாறு
Don't brush against me with such speed.
Male: Ohoo, don't ask me to step aside even for a moment.
Female: Oh my goodness!
Male: Oh boy! Female: You are a clever player!
வேகத்தில் நீயும் ஓரசாதே
ஓஒஹ்...நான் கொஞ்சும் நேரம் ஒதுங்காதே
அடி அம்மாடி....ஆண் :
யப்பா...
நீ கில்லாடி
I want to touch your hand.
Come dear, come dear, come come come.
Female: Hmm hmm, I won't come.
Male: Ohooo, you must learn the lesson of love.
