குமரிக் குட்டி மனசை மயக்கி
ஆடச் சொல்லுற ஜோக்காளி நீ ஜோக்காளி
ஏலே.....ஆம்பிளே...
Charming the heart of a young girl,
You make her dance, you joker, yes you joker!
Hey man!
தீருதில்லே உனதாசை மோகமே
ஞொய்...ஞொய்...ஞொய்..ஞொய்
விஞ்ந...விஞ்ந..விஞ்ந...விஞ்ந..
யாருமில்லே எனக்காருமில்லே...
Your desire and infatuation never seem to end.
Whining and nagging endlessly,
I have no one... no one dear to me.
ஆதரவோடு பாருமையா
சும்மா பல்லைக் காட்டாதே
வயசு பொண்ணு மாப்பிள்ளே நீ
ஜிங்கிடி ஜல்ஸா உருட்டுச் சட்டி பொம்பிளே
நான் பொம்பிளே ஏலே ஆம்பளே
தீருதில்லே உனதாசை மோகமே......
Look at me with compassion, sir!
Just grinning pointlessly,
You are the bridegroom for this young maiden.
A mischievous, fun-loving, deceptive woman,
I am a woman, hey man!
Your desire and infatuation never seem to end.
