மணப்பாறை சந்தையிலே
மாடு பிடிக்க போன மச்சான்
மாமரத் தோப்புக்குள்ள
மனசு மாறி நின்னுப் புட்டான்
ஓஹோ ஆஹா ஓஹோ
In the Manappaarai market,
My lover who went to buy a bull,
Inside the mango grove,
Changed his mind and stood still.
Oho aahaa oho

In the red banana garden,
My fair-complexioned lover,
Came and stood there,
ஆஹா என் கையில மாட்டிக்கிட்டான்
எண்ணிக்கோன்னு போர்த்திக்கிட்டான்
Aahaa, he got caught in my hands,
He counted and placed a kiss on me.
தக்காளி பழம் போல
அத்தமக நானிருக்க

மத்ததெல்லாம் மறந்து போச்சு
மானம் பறந்து போச்சு
மத்ததெல்லாம் மறந்து போச்சு
மானம் பறந்து போச்சு
Like a ripe tomato,
While I, his paternal aunt's daughter, am here,
Like a papaya fruit,
While his maternal uncle's daughter is here,
Everything else was forgotten,
Modesty flew away,
Everything else was forgotten,
Modesty flew away.

At the time of lighting the lamp,
He asked me to come to the street side,
ஆ தோட்டப் பக்கம் வரச் சொல்லி
தோள் மேலே கையைப் போட்டான்
Ah, asking me to come near the garden,
He put his arm over my shoulder,
ஏரிப்பக்கம் வரச் சொல்லி
எலந்தப் பழம் பறிச்சு தந்தான்
வயப்பக்கம் வரச் சொல்லி.....பாவி மவன்
பாடா......ஆ..... படுத்தி விட்டான்
Asking me to come near the lake,
He plucked jujube fruit and gave me,
Asking me to come near the field... that sinful fellow...
Troubled me so very much!
