மொட்ட பையன்.... மொட்ட பையன்....
ரொம்ப ரொம்ப கெட்ட பையன்....
Bald boy.. bald boy..
Very, very naughty boy..
மொட்ட பையன்.... மொட்ட பையன்....
ரொம்ப ரொம்ப கெட்ட பையன்
கெட்ட பையன்.... கெட்ட பையன்.....
என் உசுர தொட்ட பையன்
Bald boy.. bald boy..
Very, very naughty boy..
Naughty boy.. naughty boy..
The boy who touched my soul
இந்த உறவு கெடைக்குமா
நெஞ்சம் தவிச்சதே
அந்த வரமும் இன்றுதான்....
கையில் கெடச்சதே
Will I get this relationship..
My heart yearned
That boon today itself…
Has reached my hands
நம் காதல்
ஜெய்க்கும் நேரமே...
கண்ணில் கடவுள் தோன்றுமே....
Our love
Is winning right now..
God appears in my eyes..
உன் பாத கொலுசு...
மோதித் தெறிக்கும்
நானும் ரசித்து
நாளைக் களிப்பேனே
The anklet on your feet..
Striking and clashing
Enjoying that melody..
I will spend my upcoming days
மொட்ட பையன்.... மொட்ட பையன்....
ரொம்ப ரொம்ப கெட்ட பையன்
Bald boy.. bald boy..
Very, very naughty boy…
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே இருந்தது
வார்த்தைகளாய் விழுந்தது
இந்த நொடி இந்த நொடி
மண்ணிலே சொர்க்கம் கண்டேன்
என்னவனை தந்ததற்கு
சாமிக்கு நன்றி சொன்னேன்
What was deep inside my heart
Fell out as spoken words
This very moment, this moment
I saw heaven on earth
For giving me my man
I thanked God
ஒரு கோடி வருஷம்
வாழ்ந்தான பிறகும்
என் உடல் அதிர உயிர் அதிர
உன்னை நினைத்து என்னை மறந்தேனே
Even after living for
A crore years
With my body trembling and my soul shivering
Thinking of you, I forgot myself
உன்னைவிட அழகிகள்
எத்தனையோ உலகிலே
இருக்கலாம் அது எல்லாம்
எனக்கழகு இல்லை
More beautiful girls than you
However many in the world
There may be, all of that
Is not beauty to me
சிரிக்கும் உன் சிரிப்புதான்
அழகுகளின் எல்லை
தேரோடும் தெருவில்
நீ போக பார்த்தால்
நான் மதம் மறந்து
உனதருகில் இடம் பிடிக்க
வந்து தவிப்பேனே
Your laughing smile alone
Is the pinnacle of beauty
In the street where chariots run
You tried to walk by
Forgetting my modesty
To take a place beside you
I came yearning
மொட்ட பையன்.... மொட்ட பையன்....
ரொம்ப ரொம்ப கெட்ட பையன்
கெட்ட பையன்.... கெட்ட பையன்.....
என் உசுர தொட்ட பையன்
Bald boy.. bald boy..
Very, very naughty boy..
Naughty boy… naughty boy..
The boy who touched my soul
இந்த உறவு கெடைக்குமா
நெஞ்சம் தவிச்சதே
அந்த வரமும் இன்றுதான்....
கையில் கெடச்சதே
Will I get this relationship…
My heart yearned
That boon today itself…
Has reached my hands
நம் காதல்
ஜெய்க்கும் நேரமே...
கண்ணில் கடவுள் தோன்றுமே....
Our love
Is winning right now
God appears in my eyes..
உன் பாத கொலுசு...
மோதித் தெறிக்கும்
நானும் ரசித்து
நாளைக் களிப்பேனே
The anklet on your feet..
Striking and clashing
Enjoying that melody..
I will spend my upcoming days
ஹ்ம்ம்......
மொட்ட பையன்.... மொட்ட பையன்....
ரொம்ப ரொம்ப கெட்ட பையன்....
