Female :Noo…nooo…noo..noo
Aahaaha... ahaaha... ahaa...
Female: No... no...
Haan... no!
Hug me tight, hold me tight, boy!
Hug me wildly, however you desire, boy!
I am going to throw you onto the bed, boy!
Block my way and hold me tight, boy!
Is it kisses all the way to the bed, boy?
Leave nothing behind on the way, hold me fully, boy!
Hug me tight, hold me tight, boy!
Hug me wildly, however you desire, boy!
Where is the pleasure...
...the greatest?
I will find it (3)
And pinch you playfully right at that spot!
Ahaha... aaaa...
Female: No... no... no... no
{Thangida thinakku thinna
Tha thinakku thina
Thangida thinakku thinna
Tha thinakku thina} (3)
Wherever our eyes opened,
gently at that very spot,
tap, tap, tap!
The moment your index finger touches,
untie all restraint and
pour, pour, pour it all out!
Shall I hug you? Shall I cling to you?
Shall I hug you? Shall I cling to you? Cling... cling... cling...
Shall I touch you? Shall I bump against you?
Shall I touch you? Shall I bump against you? Bump... bump... bump...
Everything seen in this sweat,
isn't it the lover's heart?
Where every nerve blossoms like a flower,
isn't this that very throne?
Teaching lessons without ever studying,
you are that very college, girl!
Hug me tight, hold me tight, boy!
Hug me wildly, however you desire, boy!
Mmm... mmmm
Chum chum chum chum chum
Mmm... mmmm
Chum chum chum chum chum
Jigu jigu... haan... haan
Jigu jigu... haan... haan
Jigu jigu... jigu jigu...
Jigu jigu... jigu jigu...
Jigu jigu... jigu jigu...
Jigu jigu... jigu jigu...
Chee, go away, boy!
{Thangida thinakku thinna
Tha thinakku thina
Thangida thinakku thinna
Tha thinakku thina} (4)
Like a tethered bull breaking free,
shower me with kisses and
nudge, nudge, nudge!
Like a fighting rooster struck in battle,
losing all control inside my chest,
flutter, flutter, flutter!
As your moustache hairs
brush all across my chest, there is
pleasure, pleasure, pleasure!
As tender lips softly nibble
on the earlobe, there comes a fresh
pleasure, pleasure, pleasure!
Without oxygen,
do not climb Mount Everest.
Without imagination,
do not come to the bed.
Just watch in the early dawn, girl,
the bed will completely disappear!
Hug me tight, hold me tight, boy!
Hug me wildly, however you desire, boy!
I am going to throw you onto the bed, boy!
Block my way and hold me tight, boy!
Is it kisses all the way to the bed, boy?
Leave nothing behind on the way, hold me fully, boy!
Hug me tight, hold me tight, boy!
Hug me wildly, however you desire, boy!
Where is the pleasure...
...the greatest?
I will find it (3)
And pinch you playfully right at that spot!
