மாமா மாமா மாமா மாமா மரிக்கொழுந்து
நீ மாலையிலே கொடுக்கணும் அந்த விருந்து
ஹை
மாமா மாமா மாமா மாமா மரிக்கொழுந்து
நீ மாலையிலே கொடுக்கணும் அந்த விருந்து
Uncle, uncle, uncle, my sweet marjoram flower
You must give that feast in the evening
Male: Hey!
Female: Uncle, uncle, uncle, my sweet marjoram flower
You must give that feast in the evening
வாம்மா வாம்மா ஆடி அசைஞ்சு
வாம்மா வாம்மா ஆடி அசைஞ்சு
இப்போ வாடையிலே தவிக்குது இந்த மனசு.....
Come, my dear, swaying gently
Come, my dear, swaying gently
Now this heart yearns in the chilly northern wind
மாமா மாமா மாமா மாமா மரிக்கொழுந்து
நீ மாலையிலே கொடுக்கணும் அந்த விருந்து
Uncle, uncle, uncle, my sweet marjoram flower
You must give that feast in the evening
தூக்கம் பிடிக்கலையே கட்டழகன்
தோளோடு சேரலையே
தூக்கம் பிடிக்கலையே கட்டழகன்
தோளோடு சேரலையே
ஆசையிலே கட்டிலிட்டு மையுமிட்டேன்
வெட்கம் விட்டு காத்திருந்தேன் நீயும் வரல்லே
நான் போட்ட கட்டிலுக்கும் யோகம் வரல்லே
Sleep does not come to me, my handsome man
Because I haven't embraced your shoulders
Sleep does not come to me, my handsome man
Because I haven't embraced your shoulders
With deep desire, I lay on the bed and applied eye cosmetics
Shedding my shyness I waited, but you didn't show up
Even the bed I laid out had no good fortune
சேல தந்தேன் ரவிக்கை தந்தேன்
ஜாலி பண்ண நெனச்சு வந்தேன்
அசதியிலே தூங்கிப்புட்டேன்டி என் கண்ணாட்டி
அடுத்த நாளில் வரிசை வைப்பேன்டி.
I gave you a saree, I gave you a blouse
I came planning to enjoy a happy time
Due to sheer fatigue I fell asleep, my dear wife
I will present you with marital gifts tomorrow
மாமா மாமா மாமா மாமா மரிக்கொழுந்து
நீ மாலையிலே கொடுக்கணும் அந்த விருந்து
வாம்மா வாம்மா ஆடி அசைஞ்சு
இப்போ வாடையிலே தவிக்குது இந்த மனசு.....
Uncle, uncle, uncle, my sweet marjoram flower
You must give that feast in the evening
பாலும் பழம் இருக்கு
பக்கத்திலே பாப்பா உன் அழகிருக்கு
பாலும் பழம் இருக்கு
பக்கத்திலே பாப்பா உன் அழகிருக்கு
காத்து வந்து உன்னைத் தொட்டு
தொட்டக் கையால் என்னைத் தொட்டு
காதலியே ஏதோ இருக்கு என் கைராசி
பாத்துக்கோடி கொஞ்சம் பொறுத்து
Come, my dear, swaying gently
Now this heart yearns in the chilly northern wind
தெருக் கதவ அடைச்சுப்புட்டு
திரி விளக்க ஏத்திப்புட்டு
வரிசை வைக்க நேரம் வந்தாச்சு என் ராசாவே
மனசுக்குள்ளே மோகம் வந்தாச்சு.....
அப்படி சொல்லு
There is milk and fruit available
Beside me, my baby, is your radiant beauty
There is milk and fruit available
Beside me, my baby, is your radiant beauty
The wind came and touched you
And with the hand that touched you, it touched me
My beloved, my touch brings a special fortune
Be a little patient, my precious gem worth ten crores
மாமா மாமா மாமா மாமா மரிக்கொழுந்து
நீ மாலையிலே கொடுக்கணும் அந்த விருந்து
ஏஹே.....
Closing the street door tight
Lighting up the oil wick lamp
The time has come to offer gifts, my king
Romantic desire has blossomed in my heart...
காக்கா கருத்திருக்கு
அத்தப்புள்ள கன்னம் தான் செவத்திருக்கு
காக்கா கருத்திருக்கு
அத்தப்புள்ள கன்னம் தான் செவத்திருக்கு
ஆசையிலே அள்ளி வச்சு
அங்கேயிங்கே கிள்ளி வச்சு
வேகத்திலே கட்டிப் புடிப்பேன் என் ராசாத்தி
வித்தையெல்லாம் கத்துக் கொடுப்பேன்
Say it like that!
எடது கண்ணு துடிச்சதுக்கு
அர்த்தம் என்ன தெரிஞ்சதிப்போ
துறுதுறுன்னு இருக்கு மச்சானே உன் கையாலே
தொட்டுப்புட்டா தீரும் மச்சானே....
தொட்டுறேன்
Uncle, uncle, uncle, my sweet marjoram flower
You must give that feast in the evening
மாமா மாமா மாமா மாமா மரிக்கொழுந்து
நீ மாலையிலே கொடுக்கணும் அந்த விருந்து
வாம்மா வாம்மா ஆடி அசைஞ்சு
இப்போ வாடையிலே தவிக்குது இந்த மனசு.....
Yeah hey!
