On a hot summer morning
A girl went walking
Her face feels fine
And this sweet lady is mine
மாடி வீட்டு பொண்ணு
ஒரு ஜோடி தேடும் கண்ணு
ஆடி ஆடி நடக்கும்போது

Eyes searching for a companion

என் நெஞ்சத்திலே பிக்ஸூ
நெருங்கி நெருங்கி பழகும்போது

Ah, a body shining like rolled gold
You are the Queen of Rome
Just casting a fishing hook
Your style pulls me in, oh lady
