மயக்குறானே
வளைக்குறானே
விடாம சாகசம் பண்ணுறான்
வித்த காட்டுறான்
He mesmerizes me

He performs daring stunts relentlessly
He displays his clever tricks

என் வேலி தாண்டியே சீண்டுறான்
ஆள தூக்குறான்
He admires me
He provokes me
He crosses my boundaries and teases me
He sweeps me off my feet
கண்ஜாடையில் கல் வீசுறானே

My heart staggers, unable to bear it

சூர காத்து வீசியே
காகித கப்பலா ஆடுறேன்
வாட்ட சாட்டமான வாலிபன்
பார்வையில் சாயுறேன்
Like a fierce whirlwind blowing
I toss and sway like a paper boat
Well-built and muscular
I fall under the young man's gaze
காதல் வந்து
சின்ன தீ மூட்ட
காட்டு பையன் கையில் நான் மாட்ட
கண்ணா பின்னான்னு பத்தி எரியுதே
When love arrived
To kindle a small fire
As I got caught in the wild guy's hands
It burns wildly and intensely
சேட்டை நூறு செய்யுற
சிரிக்கவா மொறைக்கவா தலைவா
தூண்டில் போட்டு இழுக்குற
விலகவா தேடியே வரவா
You play a hundred naughty pranks
Should I smile or frown at you, my leader?
You cast a fishing hook and pull me in
Should I stay away or come searching for you?
கோபம் தாபம் ஆசை
கொண்டாட்டம்
சேர்ந்து தானே காதல் உண்டாகும்
தினம் உன்னாலே இன்பம் துன்பமே
Anger and longing
Desire and celebration
Love is born when all these combine together
Every day, because of you, there is pleasure and pain

வித்த காட்டுறான்
He mesmerizes me
