ஒன்லி ஒன் பெக்
ஒன் பை ஒன் கிக்கிக்கிக்கிக் பைவ்
கோப்பை என்னோடு
லக்கி ஷாம்பெயின் என் கையிலே
லவ்லி தேன் என் கண்ணிலே
போதை உன்னோடு......
Only one peg,
One by one, kick kick kick kick five,
The cup is with me,
The lucky champion is in my hands,
Lovely honey is in my eyes,
Intoxication is with you...
...........................
ஒன்லி ஒன் பெக்
ஒன் பை ஒன் கிக்கிக்கிக்கிக் பைவ்
கோப்பை என்னோடு
லக்கி ஷாம்பெயின் என் கையிலே
லவ்லி தேன் என் கண்ணிலே
போதை உன்னோடு......
Only one peg,
One by one, kick kick kick kick five,
The cup is with me,
The lucky champion is in my hands,
Lovely honey is in my eyes,
Intoxication is with you...
ஊரெல்லாம் கண் துஞ்சும் நேரத்தில்
நாமெல்லாம் சொர்க்கத்தின் ஓரத்தில்
இரவில் சபலம் உருகும் உதிக்கும் போது
தொடங்க வா.....வா.......வா.......
Who has truly witnessed the golden morning hours?
When a woman like me calls out 'Come',
I find no sleep during the daytime,
Once awake, come to be entranced, come, come, come...
காலை பொன் நேரத்தை யார் கண்டார்
என்னைப் போல் தையல்தான் வாவென்றாள்
பகலில் உறக்கம் காணேன்
விழித்த பின்னால் மயங்க வா...வா...வா.....
Only one peg,
One by one, kick kick kick kick five,
The cup is with me,
The lucky champion is in my hands,
Lovely honey is in my eyes,
Intoxication is with you...
ஒன்லி ஒன் பெக்
ஒன் பை ஒன் கிக்கிக்கிக்கிக் பைவ்
கோப்பை என்னோடு
லக்கி ஷாம்பெயின் என் கையிலே
லவ்லி தேன் என் கண்ணிலே
போதை உன்னோடு......

Poetic devices
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Koppai ennodu / Bodhai unnodu”
The words 'ennodu' (with me) and 'unnodu' (with you) rhyme at the end of the respective lines, creating a rhythmic harmony.
Metaphor
“Lovely thaen en kannilae”
The singer metaphorically compares the allure in her eyes to 'lovely honey'.
Alliteration / Monai
“Lucky champion en kaiyilae / Lovely thaen en kannilae”
The repetition of initial 'L' sounds ('Lucky', 'Lovely') provides a catchy Westernized vocal flow.
