That day on the steps of the temple tank
As you were sitting squatting down
Seeing you like a lump of sweet jaggery
Smacking my lips repeatedly
My tongue ran completely dry of saliva
My tongue...
You ran up to me, girl, to make me wet
ஒச்சாட புள்ளையார நீயும் சுத்த
புத்திக்குள்ள கௌலி கத்த
உச்சந்தலை மேலும் சுத்த
உன்ன சுத்தி நானும் சுத்த
லஜ்ஜைகெட்டு போனதடி என் பொழப்பு
As you circled the Ganesha idol
While a rooster crowed inside my mind
My head spun round and round
As I kept circling around you
My whole life went completely out of order...
