Hey, in the beauty of Madurai's hero,
ஏய் மதுர வீரன் அழகுல

In the pride like a bull's horns,
My poor heart got trapped...
Come on, my sweet palm jaggery,

A matchstick catches fire just looking at you,
This man's heart caught fire...
Give me room to rest upon your chest,
மாருல ஏறிட எடம் தா
மீசைய நீவுற வரம் தா
உடுத்துற வேட்டிய போல
ஒட்டிகிட்டு வர போறேன்டா
ம்ம் வர போறேன்டா
உன் கூட வரேன்டா
உன் கூட வரேன்டா
Grant me the blessing to stroke your mustache,
Like the veshti you wrap around yourself,
I will come clinging close to you, man,
Mm... I will come, man,
I am coming with you, man...
I am coming with you, man...
For the whole of Theni to watch,
தேனீ மொத்தம் பாக்கத்தான்
தங்கமே உன்ன தூக்கித்தான்
மொத்த தேனைத்தான்
நான் மொண்டு ஊத்தவா
Lifting you up like precious gold,
All of the sweet honey,
Shall I scoop and pour for you?
Making the whole town cast an evil eye,
ஊரே கண்ணு போடத்தான்
மாமன் ஒன்ன கூடித்தான்
புள்ளை நூறுதான்
நான் பெத்து போடவா
Uniting together with you,
A hundred children,
Shall I give birth to?
The umbrella tilted,
கொடை சாஞ்சேனே.....
கொம்பன் நான்தானே
கொடமாக்கி கருவாச்சி
ஒருவாட்டி என்னை தூக்கி போயேன்டி...ஈ....
I am the horned bull,
Turning me into a water pot, my dark beauty,
Just once, carry me away...

ஈர கொலை ஏறியே
எதமா என்னை குத்திக் கொல்லாதே...ஏ....
Piercing into my vital organs,
Don't gently stab and kill me...
Hey... owl-eyed girl,
ஏ....எஹ் ஹே ஆந்தை முழி காரியே
அருவாமனை மாறியே
சொகமா என்னை வெட்டி தள்ளாதே
Like a sharp cutting blade,
Don't sorrowfully slice me away,
At the corner of your saree pallu,
ஹ்ம்ம்.....ஒ....சேலை முந்தி ஓரமா
ஆத்தா தந்த வாசமா
உள்ள காலம்தான் உன்ன நெஞ்சில் தாங்குவேன்
With the comforting scent of a mother,
As long as time exists, I will cherish you in my heart,
Upon this man's chest,
மாமன் நெஞ்சில் மேலதான்
ஆட்டுக்குட்டி போலத்தான்
நெத்தம் தூங்கத்தான்
பத்து ஜென்மம் வாங்குவேன்
Just like a little lamb,
To sleep peacefully every day,
I will take ten births,
Hey fierce Pechi... be my witness,
எடி பேச்சியே.....என்னை சாட்சியே
என்னை மாத்தி புதுசாக்கி
உசுராக்கி உன் கையில் தாரேன்டி...ஈ....
Transforming me into someone brand new,
Making me life itself, I hand myself into your hands...
I am coming with you, girl,
