மை டியர் யங் லவர் நான் ஒரு சன் ப்ளவர்
காயுதே பாத் சவர் காரணம் லவ் பீவர்
நீயும் கூட பேச்சுலர்
My dear young lover, I am a sunflower.
The bath shower dries up, the reason is love fever.
You are a bachelor too.
மை டியர் யங் லவர் நான் ஒரு சன் ப்ளவர்.....
My dear young lover, I am a sunflower...
தாகம் வந்து ஓர் வேகம் வந்து
தேகம் எங்கும் மோகம் தந்து ஆடு
பருவச் சிட்டு இளமை மொட்டு
பக்கம் வந்து தொட்டு தொட்டு பாடு
கண்களின் ஜாடை கன்னியின் வாடை
காட்டினேன் பாதை ஊட்டுதா போதை
Thirst arises, a burst of speed arises.
Bestowing passion all over the body, dance!
A youthful bird, a young bud.
Come close, touch and touch, and sing!
The glance of the eyes, the fragrance of a maiden.
I showed the path, does it feed intoxication?
மை டியர் யங் லவர் நான் ஒரு சன் ப்ளவர்.....
My dear young lover, I am a sunflower...
கன்னம் எங்கும் தேன் கிண்ணம் உண்டு
சின்னம் வைத்து இன்பம் சொல்ல வா வா
சின்னப் பொண்ணு அழைக்குபோது
செல்லம் தந்து கொஞ்சி பேச வா வா
எங்கெங்கு தொட்டால் என்னென்ன கிடைக்கும்
அங்கங்கு தேடு சொர்க்கமே திறக்கும்
There are cups of honey all over my cheeks.
Come, come to seal a mark and express joy.
When this young girl calls out to you,
Come, come to shower affection and speak endearingly.
Whatever you touch, whatever you will receive,
Search right there, heaven itself will open up.
மை டியர் யங் லவர் நான் ஒரு சன் ப்ளவர்
காயுதே பாத் சவர் காரணம் லவ் பீவர்
நீயும் கூட பேச்சுலர்
My dear young lover, I am a sunflower.
The bath shower dries up, the reason is love fever.
You are a bachelor too.
மை டியர் யங் லவர் நான் ஒரு சன் ப்ளவர்.....
My dear young lover, I am a sunflower...
My dear young lover naan oru sun flower
My dear young lover, I am a sunflower.
Kaayuthae bath shower kaaranam love fever
The bath shower dries up, the reason is love fever.
Neeyum kooda bachelor
You are a bachelor too.
My dear young lover naan oru sun flower….
My dear young lover, I am a sunflower...
Thaagam vanthu orr vegam vanthu
Thirst arises, a burst of speed arises.
Thegam engum mogam thanthu aadu
Bestowing passion all over the body, dance!
Paruva chittu ilamai mottu
A youthful bird, a young bud.
Pakkam vanthu thottu thottu paadu
Come close, touch and touch, and sing!
Kangalin jaadai kanniyin vaadai
The glance of the eyes, the fragrance of a maiden.
Kaattinen paadhai oottuthaa bodhai
I showed the path, does it feed intoxication?
My dear young lover naan oru sun flower….
My dear young lover, I am a sunflower...
Kannam engum thaen kinnam undu
There are cups of honey all over my cheeks.
Chinnam vaiththu inbam solla vaa vaa
Come, come to seal a mark and express joy.
Chinna ponnu azhaikkumpothu
When this young girl calls out to you,
Chellam thanthu konji pesa vaa vaa
Come, come to shower affection and speak endearingly.
Engengu thottaal ennenna kidaikkum
Whatever you touch, whatever you will receive,
Angangu thedu sorkkamae thirakkum
Search right there, heaven itself will open up.
My dear young lover naan oru sun flower
My dear young lover, I am a sunflower.
Kaayuthae bath shower kaaranam love fever
The bath shower dries up, the reason is love fever.
Neeyum kooda bachelor
You are a bachelor too.
My dear young lover naan oru sun flower….
My dear young lover, I am a sunflower...
