மாலை மங்கும்
வேலையில மறு சூரியன்
நானே
In the dimming twilight hours,
I am the second sun.
இளசும் பெருசும்
ஏங்கி கிடக்கும் பாவாடை
ராட்டினம் நானே
Both the young and the old,
Are yearningly waiting,
For this merry-go-round... I am that!
காரைகுடிக்கே
ராணி நான் தான் ஊரே
எந்தன் அடிமை
I am the queen of Karaikudi,
The entire town is my slave.
காள மாடு
கொம்ப போல திமிரு
பாயும் இளமை
Like the horns of a fighting bull,
My youth leaps with fierce pride.
ஏய் ரா என்
கன்னத்துல முத்தம்
தர ஏய் ரா ஒரு ஆசை
இருக்கா
Hey, come up!
To give a kiss on my cheek,
Hey, come up!
Do you have such a desire?
ஏய் ரா என்
கைய தொட்டு இன்னும்
தொட ஏய் ரா ரொம்ப காசு
இருக்கா
Hey, come up!
To hold my hand and go further,
Hey, come up!
Do you have enough money?
காரைகுடிக்கே
ராணி நான் தான் ஊரே
எந்தன் அடிமை
I am the queen of Karaikudi,
The entire town is my slave.
காள மாடு
கொம்ப போல திமிரு
பாயும் இளமை
Like the horns of a fighting bull,
My youth leaps with fierce pride.
மனசில் முகமூடி
வேண்டாம் ஹார்ட்டுக்கு
ஹெல்மேட்டு ஏன்டா கூச்சம்
நீ விட்டு வந்தா சொர்க்கம்
நான் காட்டுவேன்டா
No need for a mask on your face,
Why put a helmet on your heart?
If you drop your shyness and come,
I will show you heaven!
ஆசை இல்லாத
ஆளு யாரும் இங்கில்ல
கேளு தொட்டு இழுக்காம
போனா ஏங்கும் நகரத்து
தேரு
There is no person without desire,
Listen, nobody here is an exception.
If you don't pull me close,
The festive chariot will not move anywhere.
தேங்கி கெடந்த
ஆறே இல்ல ஏங்கி கெடந்த
மனுஷன் இல்ல
There is no river,
That stays stagnant forever.
There is no human,
Who lives without yearning.
வாழ்வில் யாரும்
ராமன் இல்ல வாடா
உடைப்போம் காமன்
வில்லை
In real life, no man
Is a saintly Rama.
Come, let us break
Lord Kamadeva's bow!
கண்ணாடி கோப்பைய
விடுடா முன்னாடி இருக்கேன்
தொடுடா பின்னாடி கைய கட்டி
நடடா போதை என்றும்
பெண்ணில் தானடா
Put down that glass of alcohol, man,
I am right in front of you, touch me, man!
Walk behind me with tied hands, man,
True intoxication is found only in a woman, man!
ஏய் ரா என்
கன்னத்துல முத்தம்
தர ஏய் ரா ஒரு ஆசை
இருக்கா
Hey, come up!
To give a kiss on my cheek,
Hey, come up!
Do you have such a desire?
ஏய் ரா என்
கைய தொட்டு இன்னும்
தொட ஏய் ரா ரொம்ப காசு

Hey, come up!
To hold my hand and go further,
Hey, come up!
Do you have enough money?

எந்தன் அடிமை
I am the queen of Karaikudi,
The entire town is my slave.
காள மாடு
கொம்ப போல திமிரு
பாயும் இளமை
Like the horns of a fighting bull,
My youth leaps with fierce pride.
தெருவில் இறங்கி
நா போனா ஆபத்தாகி
போகுமடா பல்லு போன
பெருசு எல்லாம் மூச்சு
விட்டே சாகுமடா
If I step down onto the street,
It turns into a hazard, man!
Even the toothless old men,
Will gasp for breath and faint, man!
திருச்சி தான்டி
டெல்லி வரை பாத்து
இருக்கேன் நிறைய
பேர
From beyond Trichy,
All the way up to Delhi,
I have seen,
So many men.
எவனும் என்ன
மயக்க வில்ல காதல்
எனக்கு பொறக்க
வில்ல
Not a single guy,
Has charmed me yet.
Love for me,
Has not yet been born.
மச்சானே வந்து
இறங்கு உள்ள மனச
தாரேன் இந்த புள்ள
Oh handsome, step inside,
This girl will give you her heart...
ஏய் ரா என்
கன்னத்துல முத்தம்
தர ஏய் ரா ஒரு ஆசை
இருக்கா
Hey, come up!
To give a kiss on my cheek,
Hey, come up!
Do you have such a desire?
ஏய் ரா என்
கைய தொட்டு இன்னும்
தொட ஏய் ரா ரொம்ப
காசு இருக்கா

Hey, come up!
Do you have enough money?
