கொட்டுதம்மா........நீர் சொட்டுதம்மா
கொட்டுதம்மா.......நீர் சொட்டுதம்மா
மேலே பாயும் ஊசி மழை
ஆள வாட்டும் காலை வரை
அம்மாடி.......வா.....
It is pouring, Oh dear... water is dripping, Oh dear
It is pouring, Oh dear... water is dripping, Oh dear
Sharp needle-like rain pouncing from above
Tormenting a person until morning
Oh my lady... come...
கொட்டுதய்யா.......நீர் சொட்டுதய்யா
கொட்டுதய்யா........நீர் சொட்டுதய்யா
ஊதக் காத்து வீசுதய்யா
வீசும் போது கூசுதய்யா
கண்ணா நீ.......வா......
It is pouring, sir... water is dripping, sir
It is pouring, sir... water is dripping, sir
The chilly northern wind is blowing, sir
It makes me shiver when it blows, sir
My beloved... come...
ஹா.....ஆ......சேலக் கூட பாரமாச்சு என்ன காரணம்
உடல் சிலிர்த்து கிட்டு நிற்பது ஏன் நீயும் கூறணும்
தூறல் பட்டு சாரல் பட்டு ஈரமாச்சுது
உனை ஈரத்தோடு பாக்கும்போது ஏக்கமாச்சுது
Ah... even the saree feels heavy, what is the reason?
Why my body stands with goosebumps, you must tell me too
Male: Drizzling and spraying, everything got wet
Seeing you in this wet state creates a deep yearning
ஆளான பொண்ணு தாண்டாது எல்லை
தாண்டாட்டி போனா ஆனந்தம் இல்லை
அம்மாடியோ என் தேகம்தான் என்னாகுமோ
அம்மாடியோ என் தேகம்தான் என்னாகுமோ
A grown girl will not cross her boundaries
Male: If she does not cross them, there is no bliss
Female: Oh my goodness, what will happen to my body?
Female: Oh my goodness, what will happen to my body?
கொட்டுதம்மா........நீர் சொட்டுதம்மா
ஊதக் காத்து வீசுதய்யா
வீசும் போது கூசுதய்யா
அம்மாடி.......வா.....
It is pouring, Oh dear... water is dripping, Oh dear
Female: The chilly northern wind is blowing, sir
It makes me shiver when it blows, sir
Male: Oh my lady... come...
ஸ்.....ஆ....ஓரங்கட்ட நேரம் பார்த்து வயசு துடிக்குது
அடி ஓலையில் வச்ச சோறு போல மனசு கொதிக்குது
என்னப் பாத்து வெட்கம் கூட ஒதுங்கி விட்டது
நீ ஒரசும்போது உணர்ச்சி என்ன உசுப்பி விட்டது
Shh... ah... seeing the time to set aside distance, youth throbs
Hey, like rice boiling in a palm leaf pot, my heart is boiling
Female: Seeing me, even shyness has stepped aside
When you brush against me, what a feeling you rouse
தேனோட பார்த்து நீராட போறேன்
உன்னோட நானும் போராட போறேன்
இந்நேரம்தான் பொன்னானது கண்ணே நீ வா
இந்நேரம்தான் பொன்னானது கண்ணே நீ வா
I am going to bathe looking at the honey stream
Female: I am going to playful battle with you
Male: This very moment has turned to gold, my dear, come
Male: This very moment has turned to gold, my dear, come
கொட்டுதய்யா.......நீர் சொட்டுதய்யா
ஊதக் காத்து வீசுதய்யா
வீசும் போது கூசுதய்யா
கண்ணா நீ.......வா......
