மதுர பொண்ணு
எதிரே நின்னு என்ன கட்டி
புடிச்சு பாரு மல்லிக பூ
மரிகொழுந்து என்ன தொட்டு
கடிச்சு பாரு
A Madurai girl stands right before you
Try holding and hugging me
Jasmine flower and sweet marjoram
Try touching and nibbling me
என் தாவணி
வந்தது பின்னால் என்
தாகம் வந்தது முன்னாள்
தேவதை வந்தது உன்னால்
கொண்டாடும் வயசு
My half-saree came later
My thirst came earlier
An angel arrived because of you
This is an age to celebrate..
ஹே ஊசி குதுர
கண்ணால் பல ஊரே வந்தது
பின்னால் உள்ளம் கேட்டது
உன்னால் தள்ளாடும் மனசு
Hey, with eyes that pierce like needles
Many towns followed behind
The heart got ruined because of you
The mind staggers
சந்தோஷ தேரில்
வா வந்து ஏறிக்கோடா
சந்தேகம் இருந்தா வா
வந்து கத்துகோடா என்
தேகம் மேகம் வா மேலே
மேலே போடா மழையாக
மாறி நீ மீண்டும் கீழே வாடா
Come on the chariot of joy..
Come and climb up, man
If you have any doubt, come..
Come and learn, man
My body is a cloud, come..
Go higher and higher, man
Transforming into rain..
Come back down again, man
உன் காதல்
அது இங்கே செல்லாதடா
அட உன் காசு அது மட்டும்
செல்லுமடா
Your love
Is not valid here, man
Ah, your money
Only that is valid, man
புதிரான போர்
இந்த இடம் தான்டா
இங்கு நீ வந்து தோற்றாலும்
வெற்றியடா எல்லாருமே
ஒன்றே என்னும் மஞ்சம்
இது ஹே ஹே
A mysterious war
This place is that, man
Even if you come here
And lose, it is a victory, man
Saying everyone is equal
This bed is… heyy.. heyyy…
சந்தோஷ தேரில்
வா வந்து ஏறிக்கோடா
சந்தேகம் இருந்தா வா
வந்து கத்துகோடா என்
தேகம் மேகம் வா மேலே
மேலே போடா மழையாக
மாறி நீ மீண்டும் கீழே வாடா
Come on the chariot of joy..
Come and climb up, man
If you have any doubt, come..
Come and learn, man
My body is a cloud, come..
Go higher and higher, man
Transforming into rain..
Come back down again, man
