Onna suthi suthi suthi
Suthi varugiren
En kutti kutti kutti
Kutti nenjai ketkiren
En thangakatti bomma
Yaaru endru ketka unna kattudhu
Oo thaalam poova thaandi vandhu
Paada sindhu neram paakkudhu
Paarvaiyil tholaindhu ponen
Thedi kolladi
Ithanai thayakkam enna
Maadhula kodi
Kalavadhi idhennadi
Kiranga veikkum kangaluukkul maati kondu
Naanum mulikkiren
Mayakka veikkum mandhakaasam
Maathi maathi ennai kollvadhen
Onna suthi suthi suthi
Suthi varugiren
En kutti kutti kutti
Kutti nenjai ketkiren
En thangakatti bomma
Yaaru endru ketka unna kattudhu
Meesai adhai murukinaalum paavam
Veshangalai porupathillai naanum

En kutti kutti kutti
Kutti nenjai ketkiren
En thangakatti bomma

I keep circling around you, round and round,
Circling around you constantly.
My tiny, little, tiny,
Little heart, I ask it...
"Who is my golden doll?"
When I ask, it points right at you!
Breezing past like a fragrant screw-pine flower,
It waits for the moment to sing a melody.
I'm lost in your gaze,
Search and find me, girl!
Why this much hesitation,
My tender pomegranate vine?
Kalavathi, what is this?
Trapped inside your intoxicating eyes,
I am left dazed and staring.
Why does your mesmerizing gentle smile
Keep slaying me over and over?
I keep circling around you, round and round,
Circling around you constantly.
My tiny, little, tiny,
Little heart, I ask it...
"Who is my golden doll?"
When I ask, it points right at you!
Even if you twirl your mustache, poor thing,
I have no patience for these pretenses!
No matter how you try to bend me,
Do you think I will just yield?
Just because you suddenly confess your love,
Will I fall under your spell?
Desire hasn't sparked just because our eyes met,
To express true love, we need a language.
Don't you have other work? Step back a bit!
Just because you prance around, can you get close to me?
Something strange has happened to my state of mind,
Shall I tell you the real truth of what I feel?
Here is a melting, sweet madness!
A vibe just like an electric shock,
There is no doubt that it comes from you!
After causing all this commotion,
You stabbed me with your knife-sharp eyes!
I keep circling around you, round and round,
Circling around you constantly.
My tiny, little, tiny,
Little heart, I ask it...
"Who is my golden doll?"
When I ask, it points right at you!
Breezing past like a fragrant screw-pine flower,
It waits for the moment to sing a melody.
