முத்தம் போதாதே சத்தம் போடாதே
ரத்தம் சூடானதே நாணமே நாணுதே
முத்தம் போதாதே சத்தம் போடாதே
ரத்தம் சூடானதே நாணமே நாணுதே
A kiss is not enough
Do not make noise
The blood has grown hot
Shyness itself feels shy
இதழ் முத்தம் தரும் அதில் பித்தம் வரும்
இதழ் முத்தம் தரும் அதில் பித்தம் வரும்
என்னையே உன்னிலே தேடினேன் அழகே..
A kiss is not enough
Do not make noise

ரத்தம் சூடானதே நாணமே நாணுதே
Lips will give a kiss
From that, a frenzy arises
Lips will give a kiss
From that, a frenzy arises
I searched for myself within you, my beauty
தமிழ் நாட்டில் எப்போதோ மதுவிலக்கு ஆ...ஆ..
உன் இதழ் மட்டும் எப்போதும் விதி விலக்கு
புது ரோஜா ஒன்று செடி தாண்டி வந்து
புது ரோஜா ஒன்று செடி தாண்டி வந்து
என் மடியேறி குடியேறும் காலம் இன்று
A kiss is not enough
Do not make noise
The blood has grown hot
Shyness itself feels shy
இது காமன் வண்டு எனைத் தீண்டும் இன்று
புடவைப் புதையல் உனக்கே படையல்
இனி நீ தானே என் வள்ளல்
Prohibition of alcohol was enacted long ago in Tamil Nadu
Aaaa....aaa...haan aaaa
Only your lips are always an exception to that law
A new rose has crossed over the bush
A new rose has crossed over the bush
Today is the time it climbs into my lap to reside
போதாதே முத்தம் போதாதே
ரத்தம் சூடானதே நாணமே நாணுதே....
Today the beetle of Cupid touches me
Today the beetle of Cupid touches me
The treasure hidden in the saree is an offering to you
From now on, you alone are my generous benefactor
உனைப் பார்க்கும் போதே நனைந்தேனே நானே

இன்று நான் சூடும் பூவாலே நோய் வந்ததே
A kiss is not enough
Do not make noise
The blood has grown hot
Shyness itself feels shy
இதழ்ச் சாரம் போதும் அந்த நோயும் தீரும்
இதழ்ச் சாரம் போதும் அந்த நோயும் தீரும்
இதுவே தருணம் மடியே சரணம் சுக பூகம்பம் ஆரம்பம்
Just looking at you, I got completely drenched
Just looking at you, I got completely drenched
Today, an affliction arrived because of the flower I wear
போதாதே......ம்...முத்தம் போதாதே
ரத்தம் சூடானதே நாணமே நாணுதே..
ஹ...ஹ..ஹ..
இதழ் முத்தம் தரும் அதில் பித்தம் வரும்
இதழ் முத்தம் தரும் அதில் பித்தம் வரும்
என்னையே உன்னிலே தேடினேன் அழகே..

Rhyme / Wordplay (Iyaibu & Ethirrai)
“Thamizh naattil eppodho madhuvilakku / Un idhazh mattum eppodhum vidhivilakku”
The lyricist contrasts 'Madhuvilakku' (prohibition of alcohol) with 'Vidhivilakku' (exception), playfully describing the lover's intoxicating lips as an exception to the state's alcohol prohibition.
