Paal pappali
Vellai thakkali
Un koottaali
Ennai samaali
Paal pappali
Vellai thakkali
Naan komaali
Ippo sokkaali
Un mundanaiya
Mundasaaga katti kollava
Naan moonu velai
Muththa soru alli thinnava
Nee pulli vacha
Maanu thaanae kolam podava
En meesaiyala kadhu kuthi
Koocham kattava
Paal pappali
Vellai thakkali
Un koottaali
Ennai samaali
Paal pappali
Vellai thakkali
Nee komaali
Podaa sokkaali
Kanna kuzhi vazhiyae
Thonda kuzhi nozhanchu
Nenju kuzhi naduvae
Maiyam kolladhae….
Hey achu vella azhagae
Uchchi veiyyil nilavae
Pichu pichu ennai
Eeram seiyadhae
Ennai melum keezhum
Yelam pottu thalam podathae
Indha ooraan peththa ponna
Parthu uchu kottadhae
Enai poovukullae thaenai pola
Pooti vaikadhae
Namma aatha kovil yanaa-pol
Aati vaikadhae
Kaadhala kaadhala oodi varava
Yaarumilla neram parthu thedi varava
Male :Vaannila thaennila koodi varava
Aadi maasa kathu pola aadi varava
Paal pappali
Vellai thakkali
Un koottaali
Ennai samaali
Paal pappali

Suthi suthi parandhen
Seetedukkum kiliyaai

Oru muttai kadaiya
Muraichu paarkum patti-kattan pol
Nee etti ninnu enna parthu

Muththa soru alli thinnava
Hey pulli vacha maanu melae
Kolam podadhae
Un meesaiyaala kadhu kuthi …uhhhuu..

Sweet milky papaya,
Fair little tomato,
I am your partner,
Now handle me!
Sweet milky papaya,
Fair little tomato,
I was a clown,
Now I am head over heels in love!
Can I take the edge of your sari,
And wrap it like a turban?
Three times a day,
Can I scoop and feast on a meal of kisses?
You are a spotted deer,
Aren't you? Shall I draw kolam designs on you?
Shall I pierce your ear with my mustache,
And make you blush and shiver?
Sweet milky papaya,
Fair little tomato,
I am your partner,
Now handle me!
Sweet milky papaya,
Fair little tomato,
You are a clown,
Go away, you sweet talker!
Through the dimple of my cheek,
Sliding down my throat,
Right in the center of my chest,
Do not settle down!
Hey, sweet jaggery beauty,
Moon in the blazing midday heat,
Tearing me apart piece by piece,
Do not drench me in love!
Do not size me up from head to toe,
And try to claim me at an auction!
Looking at this girl of the town,
Do not click your tongue and sigh!
Like honey hidden inside a flower,
Do not keep me locked up!
Like the elephant of our village goddess temple,
Do not make me dance to your whims!
My love, my love, shall I come running?
Shall I come seeking you when no one is around?
Male: Like the glowing moon and sweet honey, shall I come join you?
Shall I come swaying like the wild monsoon breeze?
Sweet milky papaya,
Fair little tomato,
I am your partner,
Now handle me!
Sweet milky papaya,
Chorus: Babooy!
Female: Fair little tomato,
Chorus: Babooy!
Female: I am your partner,
Now handle me!
I used to leap about all on my own,
Now I toss and turn upon my bed,
With eyes as sharp as scissors,
Darling, do not snip at me!
I used to live all by myself,
Flying freely all around,
Like a fortune-teller's parrot,
Do not lock me in a cage!
Like a villager staring hungrily,
At a roadside egg shop,
Do not stand afar and gaze at me,
Making me ache with longing!
All your tiger-and-goat board games,
Will not work with me, mister!
I am a girl who slips away like magic,
You can never catch me, mister!
Sweet milky papaya,
Fair little tomato,
I am your partner,
Now handle me!
Sweet milky papaya,
Fair little tomato,
You are a clown,
Go away, you sweet talker!
Can I take the edge of your sari,
And wrap it like a turban?
Three times a day,
Can I scoop and feast on a meal of kisses?
Hey, over this spotted deer,
Do not draw your patterns!
Piercing my ear with your mustache... ooh-hoo...
