If I offer a fig fruit
And you are the parrot that pecks it
Everything else
Will be understood as time passes
அடி நான் அரைக்கும்

கொஞ்சம் பொறு தாறேன்
பதமா ஹே ஹே
The infatuation that my lover holds
Moves at a speed of hundred miles
Oh my god!
Wait a little, I shall give
At the right softness, hae hae
பொங்கி வரும் ஆசைய
பொத்தி வெக்க கூடாது
பொத்துக்கிட்டு பாயும் வெளியே
The surging desires
Should not be kept concealed
They will burst out and gush outside
அய்யே ஒன்ன இங்கே
யார் தடுக்க
காத்திருக்கேன் போர் தொடுக்க
Hey, who is here
To stop you?
I am waiting to wage war
என்ன மேலே தாங்கிக்க
