நாட்டு பொம்பள வாடி பொம்பள
அள்ளிக் கொள்ளடி சத்தமில்லா
முத்தம் தந்து ஒடியாடலாம்
Oh village girl, come here, my village girl
Embrace me softly, without making any sound
Giving kisses, let us play and run around
பாட்டு சொல்லிடு தேனை அள்ளிடு
நெஞ்சு கிள்ளுது மெல்ல மெல்ல
சொல்லி தந்திடு சொர்க்கம் நம்மோடு
Sing a song, scoop up the sweetness of honey
The heart pinches slowly and gently
Teach me and show me, heaven is with us
தேடி வந்ததோ ஒரு கோடி மின்னல்கள்
ஆடி நின்றதோ ஒரு ஜோடி நெஞ்சங்கள்
பக்கம் வா வெட்கம் ஏன் வெட்கம் ஏன்
யம்மா யம்மா........
Did ten million flashes of lightning come searching?
Female: Did a pair of hearts stand dancing together?
Male: Come closer, why be shy, why be shy?
Oh my, oh my...
பாட்டு சொல்லிடு தேனை அள்ளிடு
நெஞ்சு கிள்ளுது மெல்ல மெல்ல
சொல்லி தந்திடு சொர்க்கம் நம்மோடு
Sing a song, scoop up the sweetness of honey
The heart pinches slowly and gently
Teach me and show me, heaven is with us
ஹே நாட்டு பொம்பள வாடி பொம்பள
அள்ளிக் கொள்ளடி சத்தமில்லா
முத்தம் தந்து ஒடியாடலாம்.....
Hey village girl, come here, my village girl
Embrace me softly, without making any sound
Giving kisses, let us play and run around...
மொட்டவிழ்ந்து சொட்டுதே இன்பத் தேன் அன்பே
கட்டவிழ்ந்து நிக்காதே என் பாடு திரும்பாது
வாட்டமென்ன கோகிலமே கேட்டவுடன் தருவாய்
மடி மீது வச்சு உன்னை தாலாட்டலாமா
The bud blossoms and drips sweet honey, my love
Female: Do not stand unbound, my state will not reverse
Male: Why the sorrow, my nightingale? Give it as soon as asked
Shall I place you on my lap and sing a lullaby?
தொட்டு தொட்டு முட்டாதே கொம்புத் தேன் கேட்டு
விட்டு விட்டு போகாதே பாடு புதுப்பாட்டு
நாட்டமென்ன ராஜாவே ஆசையுடன் வருவாய்
கொடி மீது கொஞ்சு என்னை நீராட்டலாமா
Do not keep touching without asking for honeycomb
Male: Do not leave and go away, sing a new song
Female: What is your desire, my king? Come with longing
Cuddle me on the creeper, shall I bathe you in love?
தங்கமில்லை சிங்கம் நானே வாயேன் பொன்வண்டே
வெட்கம் எதுக்கு விட்டுவிடலாம் கங்கை பாயட்டும்
ஹேய் போரிடும் வேளை உன்னைத் தேடுது காளை
பள்ளியறை பூஜையிலே காமனுக்கு தந்தோம் தந்தோம்
I am not gold, I am a lion; come here, golden beetle
Female: Why be shy? Let us let go and let the Ganges flow
Male: Hey, the bull searches for you during the battle hour
In the bedroom worship, we gave ourselves to the God of Love
பாட்டு சொல்லிடு தேனை அள்ளிடு
நெஞ்சு கிள்ளுது மெல்ல மெல்ல
சொல்லி தந்திடு சொர்க்கம் நம்மோடு
Sing a song, scoop up the sweetness of honey
The heart pinches slowly and gently
Teach me and show me, heaven is with us
நாட்டு பொம்பள வாடி பொம்பள
அள்ளிக் கொள்ளடி சத்தமில்லா
முத்தம் தந்து ஒடியாடலாம்....
Oh village girl, come here, my village girl
Embrace me softly, without making any sound
Giving kisses, let us play and run around...
மச்சமுள்ள மச்சானே மைவிழியை நீராட்டு
சின்னத்தம்பி பொன் போல மடியில் நீ தாலாட்டு
கன்னிப் பொண்ணு தூங்காது சின்ன மனம் தாங்காது
தனிமையில் என்னைத் தொட்டு பாராட்டலாமா
Oh lucky cousin, bathe my kohl-lined eyes with love
Male: Like a precious young brother, rock me on your lap
Female: The maiden girl will not sleep, her young heart cannot endure
Touching me in solitude, will you appreciate me?
ஓ.....மோகமழை தூவுதே ஆசையை தூண்டுதே
தென்றல் வந்து பாடுதே மேனியை தீண்டுதே
வந்துவிடு தன்னாலே தந்துவிடு முன்னாலே
கையோடு உன்னை அணைத்து பூச்சூடலாமா
Oh... the rain of desire showers, kindling the passion
Female: The southern breeze comes singing, touching the body
Male: Come on your own, give it right in front of me
Shall I hold you in my arms and adorn you with flowers?
எட்டா மனசு சிட்டா பறந்து பாடிக்குவோமே
பட்டுக் கன்னம் தொட்டுக்கொண்டு
சொர்க்கம் கண்டேனே
சிட்டு நானல்லோ முத்து மானல்லோ
தொட்டுத் தொட்டு இன்பம் தரும்
மன்மதனே ஹலோ ஹலோ
Unreachable mind, like a small bird let us fly and sing
Male: Touching the silky cheek
I witnessed heaven
Female: Am I not a little bird? Am I not a precious deer?
Giving joy by touching repeatedly
Hello hello to the God of Love
