I am your darling pet child...
எண்ணத்தில் என்னென்னவோ
பல ஆசை உருவாகும்
கிண்ணத்தில் மது ஊற்றவோ
சுவைத்தாலே தடுமாறும்
In my mind, who knows what all
Many desires are born.
Is it like serving wine in a bowl?
Just tasting it makes one stumble.
அள்ளி அள்ளி சேர்த்துக் கொள்ளு
மெத்தைக்கு தூக்கிச் செல்லு
அள்ளி அள்ளி சேர்த்துக் கொள்ளு
மெத்தைக்கு தூக்கிச் செல்லு
Gather me up in your arms,
Carry me away to the bed.
Gather me up in your arms,
Carry me away to the bed.
இடம் பார்த்து விளையாடு
இரவெல்லாம் சுகம் தேடு
அட வா ராஜா.....
Choose the right place and play,
Seek bliss all through the night.
Oh come, king.
நான் உந்தன் செல்லக் குட்டி....ஈ.....
நீ எந்தன் வெல்லக் கட்டி....ஈ......
மடி மீது விளையாடி சுகம் தேடு பல கோடி
அட வா வா ராஜா வா...ஆ.....

You are my block of sweet jaggery...
Play on my lap and seek millions of pleasures,
Oh come, come, king, come...
நான் உந்தன் செல்லக் குட்டி....ஈ.....
I am your darling pet child...
பக்கத்தில் நீ இருந்தால்
பகல் கூட இரவாகும்
வெக்கத்தை நீ தொறந்தால்
விரல் கூட ஜதி பாடும்
If you are near my side,
Even daytime turns into night.
If you shed your shyness,
Even fingers will sing a rhythmic beat.
நெஞ்சில் என்னை சேர்த்துக் கொள்ளு
மஞ்சத்தில் சேதி சொல்லு
நெஞ்சில் என்னை சேர்த்துக் கொள்ளு
மஞ்சத்தில் சேதி சொல்லு
Embrace me close to your heart,
Speak sweet secrets upon the bed.
Embrace me close to your heart,
Speak sweet secrets upon the bed.
விடையோடு விடை சேரு
இடையோடு உறவாடு
அட வா ராஜா......
Match answer with answer,
Mingle closely with my waist.
Oh come, king.
நான் உந்தன் செல்லக் குட்டி....ஈ.....
நீ எந்தன் வெல்லக் கட்டி....ஈ......
மடி மீது விளையாடி சுகம் தேடு பல கோடி
