பாக்குறானே
மெல்ல பாக்குறானே
என்ன பார்வையால
தினம் தாக்குறானே
He looks at me
He softly looks at me
With his gaze
He attacks me every day
கேக்குறானே
நித்தம் கேக்குறானே
முத்தம் போதையால
பித்தம் தலைக்கேறுதே
He asks of me
He asks of me daily
With the intoxication of a kiss
The madness rises to my head
அட அழுச்சாட்டியம்
ரொம்ப பெருசாகுது
ஏ அங்கங்க இவன் கண்ணு
நுழைஞ்சோடுது
Ah, his mischievous teasing
Is growing way too big
Hey, here and there his eyes
Go wandering in
ஆண் பாவம் வேணான்னு
மனம் சொல்லுது
அட ஆனாலும் இம்சை ரொம்ப
எல்லை மீறி போ...குது
Thinking 'he is an innocent man, let it be'
My heart tells me
Ah, but still this teasing torture
Is crossing all the limits...

ஜாடையாக பேசுறான்

சந்துல சிந்து பாடுறான்
ஆத்தாடி
He talks using gestures
That clever man of mine
He takes advantage of every opportunity
Oh my goodness!
எல்லாம் இப்போ கேக்குறான்
என் முன்னாடி
என்ன நான் பாதுகாக்குறேன்
போராடி
He demands everything right now
Right in front of me
I am protecting myself
By putting up a fight
கலைவாணி தான்
என்ன களவாடுறான்
ஏ கூச்சத்தாலே
என்ன கோடை சாய்க்கிறான்
He is indeed a thief
He steals me away
Hey, using my own shyness
He makes my umbrella tilt
தாறுமாறா
என்ன தாளிக்கிறான்
அட பாத்தி கட்டி
தண்ணி பாச்சா இடம்
தே...டுறான்....
Wildly and recklessly
He thrashes and torments me
Ah, making a plot boundary
A spot to irrigate water
He is searching...
