மச்சக்கன்னி கொஞ்சம் கேட்டு
பாரேன் என்ன பத்தி
குண்டு கட்டா தட்டி தூக்க
போறேன் கண்ண பொத்தி
Oh girl with the beauty mark, listen a little,
Look at me and hear about me.
To carry you off completely,
I am going, covering your eyes.
இன்ச் இன்ச்சா உன்ன
பார்த்து நானும் ஏங்கி போனேனே
பஞ்சு பஞ்சா என்ன ஆக்கி நாளும்
சோடி நீதானே
போற போக்குல போட்டு தாக்குற
துண்டு துண்டா ஓடைஞ்சேன்
Inch by inch, looking at you,
I was filled with longing.
Shredding me into cotton fluff, every day
You are my soulmate.
As you go along, you lock and strike me,
I broke into pieces.

சீனி பேச்சுல சீன ஓட்டுற

ஆணி வேரையும் ஆட்டி பாக்குற

கூர ஏறவும் சாங்க மாத்தி
போற நீ கலைவாணி பேத்தி
You act cool with sweet words,
Entering right into my eyes.
You try to shake me to my roots,
Hiding deep inside my heart.
Changing disguises to climb roofs,
You walk by, grand-daughter of Saraswati.

ரொம்ப பதற வெச்ச மொத ஆளு நீ
பொட்டு வெச்ச
சொக்கு பொடியும் வெச்ச
கண்ணில் வெடி வெச்சி
படிய வெச்ச மோகினி
When I took a step, you made me stumble,
You made me panic so much,
You are the entire world to me.
You wore a bindi and cast a charm powder,
Setting off fireworks in eyes, you tamed me like an enchantress.

காலும் ஓடல கையும் ஓடல
உன்ன எண்ணி கெடந்தா
காதல் நோய் இது
தீர நீ ஒரு
முத்தம் வையேன் மருந்தா
மூச்சில வெஷ ஊசி போட்டு
போற நீ இசைஞானி பாட்டு
My legs do not run, my hands do not work,
When I lie down thinking of you.
This is the sickness of love,
To cure it, please give me
A kiss as medicine.
Injecting poison into my breath,
You walk like an Ilaiyaraaja song.
அள்ள வெச்ச
என்ன அலற வெச்ச
உன்னை மலர வெச்ச உயிர் கூட்டுல
துள்ள வெச்ச நெஞ்ச துவள வெச்ச
கிள்ளி அழவெச்சி
அலைய வெச்ச ரோட்டுல
You scooped me up and made me cry out,
Made you blossom
In the cage of my soul.
You made my leaping heart droop,
Pinching me to tears, you made me wander on the road.
