மாய தீரா மாலை வீரா
மானை நீ தேடி வா வா வா
ராவின் மீனா நானும் கானா
நாளை நீ காட்ட வா
Magical warrior of the evening,
Come, come, come seeking the deer.
Darling Meena, for me to see as well,
Come show me tomorrow.
தூண்டில் போடாத
மீனா மீனா
தான்டி போவலே சீன தானா
நீயும் தீண்டாதா
தேனா தேனா
ராவோடு ராவாக வா
ஊராலா ஆ....ஆ......
தீண்ட தீண்டத்தான்
தீராம தித்திக்க வா
Without casting a fishing hook,
Fish, fish,
Will the scene pass by automatically?
Untouched by you,
Honey, honey,
Come along into the night.
Oh, rolling along...
Only when touched,
Come taste relentlessly sweet.
பெண் மற்றும் குழு :
மூச்சடைக்குற முத்தத்த முத்தத்த
சேர்தனைச்சு நீ தந்துபுட்டா
நீ நெனைக்குற வித்தைய வித்தைய
நாள் முழுக்கதான் கத்துக்கலாம்
On the side where the wind blows,
And on the side where the crowd dances,
Where there is money in the crowd,
Leaning in the narrow lanes and corners,
We can watch them standing there.
காத்தடிக்குற பக்கமும்
பக்கமும் கூத்தடிக்குற கும்பலத்தான்
காசு இருக்குற சந்துல பொந்துல
சாஞ்சி நிற்பத கண்டுகளாம்

Where hands grip,
On the body,
ஏய் சொல்லாமலே அதிசய
அருவியில் நீந்தத்தான்
கண்ணும் கண்ணும் மண்ணு
திங்க மோதி பாக்குதே
ஏய் கிள்ளாமலே ரகசிய
கனவிலே சேரத்தான்
கையும் மையும் ஒய்யாரமா
ஊஞ்சல் ஆடுதே
Will the friction increase?
கை பாத்துகிற
உடம்புல
In the heart standing and watching,
உரசலும் கூடுமா
Will the yearning end?
பார்த்து நிக்குற மனசுல
Just by twirling
Your mustache while staring,
ஏக்கம் தீருமா
Is that enough?
மீச வச்சுதான்
மொறச்சி நீ
With desire, should I ignite
முறுக்குனா போதுமா
The fire of love?
ஆச வச்சுதான் மதனா
