வெது வெதுப்பா
இனிச்சிருக்கும் வெடல
பொண்ணு நானு விருப்ப
பட்டு நெறுங்கி வந்தா
விளக்கு அணைக்கும்
வாம்மா நீ சொன்னா
தருவேனே தேனு
வட்டியோட அசல
வாங்கு அதுதானே சீனு
I am warm and sweet,
I am a young teenage girl.
If you come close with desire,
The light will be blown out.
If you call me 'come girl',
I will offer sweet honey.
Take the principal along with interest,
That is the real deal!
லாலா கட
சாந்தி உன்னால்
ஆனேனே நான் பூந்தி
லாலா கட சாந்தி
உன்னால் ஆனேனே
நான் பூந்தி
Lala sweet shop Shanthi,
Because of you, I turned into a boonthi sweet.
Lala sweet shop Shanthi,
Because of you, I turned into a boonthi sweet.
பாத்தா பளபளக்குற
பாலா வழிய வெக்குற கீத்தா
கிழியவெக்குற கிறுக்கேத்தி
When you look, you glisten,
Making milk overflow,
Tearing like a palm leaf,
Driving me crazy...
கேட்டா
கதையளக்குற கேப்பா
என்ன வெடிக்கிற தீட்டா
ஒதுங்கி நிக்குற உசுப்பேத்தி
When asked, you spin tall tales,
Blowing me up like a balloon,
Standing away out of modesty,
Teasing and raising the heat...
லாலா கட
சாந்தி உன்ன
போவேனே நான்
ஏந்தி லாலா கட
சாந்தி உன்ன
போவேனே நான்
ஏந்தி
Lala sweet shop Shanthi,
I will carry you away in my arms,
Lala sweet shop Shanthi,
I will carry you away in my arms.
ஏன்டா எலி
புடிக்கிற ஈயா இலை
விரிக்கிற தூண்டி
துருவா நிக்குற சுதி ஏத்தி
Why are you catching mice, my boy?
Spreading out a leaf like a fly?
Standing like a fishing hook probe,
Raising dizziness all around...
வான்டா சுழல
வைக்குற வாகா வழி
மறிக்குற தாண்டி தவறு
பன்னுற அடி யாத்தி
Making me spin like a child,
Blocking my path conveniently,
Crossing lines and committing errors,
Oh my goodness...
லாலா கட
சாந்தி உன்னால்
ஆனேனே நான் பூந்தி
லாலா கட
சாந்தி உன்ன
போவேனே நான்
ஏந்தி
Lala sweet shop Shanthi,
Because of you, I turned into a boonthi sweet.
Female: Lala sweet shop Shanthi,
I will carry you away in my arms,
ஆச வெறகடுப்புல
வேக விளைஞ்சி நிக்குற
ரோசா உன்ன நினைக்கையில்
நெடியேறும்
Cooking on the hearth of desire,
Standing fully ripe,
Rose, when thinking of you,
A strong sweet fragrance rises,
பாசி பயிறுக்
கண்ணுல பாதாம்
பருப்பு செய்யுற
ராசா ஒன்ன
நெருங்கையில் ருசி மாறும்
With green-gram-like eyes,
You make almond treats,
My King, when getting close to you,
The taste transforms.
மத்தாக மனச
நீ கடையாம என்ன
மாராப்பில் பதம்பாரு
Without churning my mind,
Like a churning rod,
Test the warmth on my saree lap,
சத்தாக சகலமும்
தரப்போறேன் மெத்த
சாப்பாட்டில் பசி ஆறு
Truly, everything I have,
I am going to give,
Satisfy your hunger with a bed feast.
உசுரே கேக்க
உன்ன நான் தூக்க
வாரேன் மாமன்
கூத்தடிக்க
Even if life is demanded,
To carry you away,
I, your beloved man, am coming to celebrate!
லாலா கட
சாந்தி உன்ன
போவேனே நான்

பாலும் கொதிச்சிருக்குது
பாயும் விரிச்சிருக்குது ஆனா
அது எதுக்குன்னு தெரியாதா
The milk has boiled,
The mat is spread out,
Don't you know what that is for?
காயும் கனிஞ்சிருக்குது
வாயும் நனஞ்சிருக்குது
ஆனா அது உனக்குன்னு புரியாதா
The fruit has ripened,
The mouth has moistened,
Don't you understand that it is for you?
உன் கண்ணாடி
வளவியும் ஒடையாம
உன்ன கட்டோட மடிப்பேனே
Without breaking your glass,
Bangles into pieces,
I will fold and hold you tight,
என் கண்டாங்கி
புடவையும் கசங்காம
தொட மல்லாந்துக்கிடப்பேனே
Without crumpling my Kandaangi,
Saree,
I will lie flat right beside you.
உடனே வாடி
ஒழுங்கா தாடி
மூடி போட என்னாதடி
Come over immediately,
Give it to me properly,
Why this drama of hiding and seeking?
லாலா கட
சாந்தி உன்ன
போவேனே நான்
ஏந்தி
