பாய்ச்சல் நான் உனக்குள்
ஆடும் நீச்சல் அலை போல
நான் விளையாடினால்
இறங்காதோ உந்தன் காய்ச்சல்
A rush like a cascading waterfall
I am swimming inside you
If I play like ocean waves
Won't your fever subside?
படபடக்கும் சிட்டுடா
பனாரசு பட்டுடா தங்கத்தால
செஞ்சு வச்ச தஞ்சாவூரு

Fluttering young bird
Silk from Banaras
Made out of pure gold
A bed crafted in Thanjavur
ஒத்தையாக ஓட
வா ஓடி விளையாடவா
பத்து விரல் காத்திருக்கு
பந்தல் ஒன்னு போடவா
Come running alone
Shall we run and play?
Ten fingers are waiting
Shall I set up a wedding canopy?
அழகான திருடி
எனக்குள்ளே இருடி
கொஞ்சி கொஞ்சி
பேசிக்கலாம் கொஞ்ச
நேரம் கூடி ஓஹோ ஓஓ
ஹோ ஓஓ ஓஹோ ஓஓ
ஹோ ஓஓ
Beautiful thief
Stay inside me
We can talk affectionately
Spending a little time together
Ohooo..ooo..hooo..ooo
