முத்தம் ஒன்னு வேணும்
உன் மூக்க கிள்ள வேணும்
முகத்த கொஞ்சம் காட்டு
எனக்கு பொங்கி வருது பாட்டு
உங்களோட தொல்ல....
நீ சின்னஞ்சிறு முல்லை
செய்யாதீங்க தொல்லை....
I want a kiss
I want to pinch your soft chin
Show your face a little
A song is welling up inside me
Female: You are such a nuisance
Male: You are a delicate little jasmine
Female: Don't trouble me
