பார்த்த உடன் ஏங்க வைக்கும் ஜீன்ஸு
அழகு போட்டியிலே ஜெயிக்க ஒரு சான்ஸு
ஆளுக்கேத்த மேக்ஸியோட நைட்டி
இது ஆசைகளைத் தூண்டி விடும் பியூட்டி
Jeans that make one long for them as soon as they are seen
A chance to win in a beauty contest
Maxi dresses and nighties tailored for every person
This is a beauty that stimulates desires
பூவைப் போல மேனி எங்குமே
இத போட்டுக்கிட்டா அழகு பொங்குமே
மாணவர்கள் பார்க்கும் போதிலே
நெஞ்சம் மயங்கிப் போயி கனவு காணுமே தரப்ப ரப்பா
Throughout the body soft like a flower
If you wear this, beauty will overflow
When students look at it
Their hearts get mesmerized
And start dreaming, tharappaa rapppa
பார்த்த உடன் ஏங்க வைக்கும் ஜீன்ஸு
அழகு போட்டியிலே ஜெயிக்க ஒரு சான்ஸு
ஆ.....ஆளுக்கேத்த மேக்ஸியோட நைட்டி
இது ஆசைகளைத் தூண்டி விடும் பியூட்டி
Jeans that make one long for them as soon as they are seen
A chance to win in a beauty contest
Maxi dresses and nighties tailored for every person
This is a beauty that stimulates desires...
Paarththa udan yaenga vaikkum jeans
Jeans that make one long for them as soon as they are seen
Azhagu pottiyilae jeyikka oru chance
A chance to win in a beauty contest
Aalukeththa maxi-yoda nighty
Maxi dresses and nighties tailored for every person
Idhu aasaikalai thoondi vidum beauty
This is a beauty that stimulates desires
Pooovai pola maeni engumae
Throughout the body soft like a flower
Idha pottukittaa azhagu pongumae
If you wear this, beauty will overflow
Maanavargal paarkkum pothilae
When students look at it
Nenjam mayangi poyi
Their hearts get mesmerized
Kanavu kaanumae tharappaa rapppa
And start dreaming, tharappaa rapppa
Paarththa udan yaenga vaikkum jeans
Jeans that make one long for them as soon as they are seen
