கண்டாங்கி கண்டாங்கி
கட்டி வந்த பொண்ணு
கண்டாலே கிறுகேத்தும்
கஞ்சா வச்ச கண்ணு
The girl who came wearing a Kandangi saree
Eyes like marijuana driving me crazy when I look at them
கண்டாங்கி கண்டாங்கி
கட்டி வந்த பொண்ணு
கண்டாலே கிறுகேத்தும்
கஞ்சா வச்ச கண்ணு
அந்த கண்ணுக்கு
அஞ்சுலட்சம் தாரேன்டி
அந்த நெஞ்சுக்கு
சொத்தெழுதி தாரேன்டி
முத்தம் தாியா…ஒஹோ…
The girl who came wearing a Kandangi saree
Eyes like marijuana driving me crazy when I look at them
I will give five lakhs for those eyes, my girl
I will transfer my property to that heart
Will you give me a kiss?
கண்டாங்கி கண்டாங்கி
கட்டி வந்த பொண்ணு
கண்டாலே கிறுகேத்தும்
கஞ்சா வச்ச கண்ணு
இந்த கண்ணுக்கு
அஞ்சுலட்சம் போதாது
இந்த நெஞ்சுக்கு
சொத்தெழுதி தீராது
தள்ளி நில்லையா…
The girl who came wearing a Kandangi saree
Eyes like marijuana driving me crazy when I look at them
Five lakhs is not enough for those eyes
Transferring property is not enough for that heart
Please stay away, sir..
அடி உன் வீடு தல்லாகுளம்
என் வீடு தெப்பக்குளம்
நீரோடு நீரு சேரட்டுமே
Hey, your house is in Tallakulam
My house is in Teppakulam
Let water merge with water
அழகா் மலைகோயில்
யானை வந்து அல்வாவ திண்பது
போல் என் ஆச உன்ன திண்ணட்டுமே
Like an elephant from Alagar Kovil coming
And eating halwa
Let my desire consume you
ஒத்தைக்கொத்த அழைக்கும்
அழகு ஒத்த பக்கம் ஒதுங்கும் பொழுது
புத்திக்குள்ள அாிக்குது
நெத்திக்குள்ள துடிக்குது
Showing the white of your eyes
When you blink slyly
My life shrinks in fear
My liver trembles inside
வெள்ள முழி வெளிய
தொிய கள்ள முழி முழிக்கும் பொழுது
என் உசுரு ஒடுங்குது
ஈர கொழ நடுங்குது
You tell tiny lies
You subtly raise heat while remaining cool
சின்ன சின்ன பொய்யும் பேசுற
ஜில்லுனுதான் சூடும் ஏத்துற
When you look, you look lean like a coconut leaf stem
When you pounce, your body is strong like a wooden block
Don't play around, handsome man
நீ பாத்தாக்க தென்னமட்ட
பாஞ்சாக்க தேகம் கட்ட
பாசாங்கு வேணாம் சுந்தரரே
You are an unyielding strong man
I got caught without realizing
You are my Cupid by destiny
நீ தேயாத நாட்டு கட்ட
தொியாம மாட்டிக்கிட்டேன்
என் ராசி என்றும் மன்மதனே
Descending into my eyes
Sleeping inside my heart
You snatch my life away
What are you planning to do to me?
கண்ணுக்குள்ள இறங்கி இறங்கி
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள உறங்கி உறங்கி
என் உசுர பறிக்கிற
என்ன செய்ய நினைக்குற
You shoot arrows and hit people
You let go of the thread and catch the tail
அம்பு விட்டு ஆள அடிக்கிற
தும்பு விட்டு வால புடிக்கிற
Oh wife without a nuptial thread
Oh unhindered electricity
Come light the lamp, my moonlight
தாலி இல்லாத சம்சாரமே
தடையில்லா மின்சாரமே
விளக்கேத்த வாடி வெண்ணிலவே
The sandalwood paste on my chest
Oh grand celebration of the saree drape
Come kiss me in the early night
எந்தன் மாா்போட சந்தனமே
மாராப்பு வைபோகமே
முத்தாட வாயா முன்னிரவே
The girl who came wearing a Kandangi saree
Eyes like marijuana driving me crazy when I look at them
Female: Five lakhs is not enough for those eyes
Transferring property is not enough for that heart
Please stay away, sir..
கண்டாங்கி கண்டாங்கி
கட்டி வந்த பொண்ணு
கண்டாலே கிறுகேத்தும்
கஞ்சா வச்ச கண்ணு
Kandangi kandangi.. Male: Mmm mmm mmm
Female: When seen, driving crazy.. Male: Eyes like marijuana..
