பாவாடை பஞ்சவரணம்
ஒரு பட்டாசு வீசி போகுதே...ஏ....ஏ....ஏ....
சூடான முத்தம் தந்தாள்
இந்த சூரியனின் மீசை வேகுதே.....ஏ....ஏ....ஏ....
A five-colored skirt
Goes throwing a cracker around...
If you give a hot kiss
This sun's mustache will singe...
பட்டாம் பட்டாம் பட்டாம் பூச்சி
தொட்டா தொட்டா சினுங்கியாச்சு
மேனி எங்கும் உந்தன் ஆட்சி
மேலும் கீழும் கொதிக்கும் மூச்சு
அட பெண்ணே உன் பேரு என்னம்மா
சொன்னாலே பேர சொல்லி பாட்டு பாடுறேன்
அட பெண்ணே உன் வீடு எங்கம்மா
வீட்டோட மாப்பிள்ளையா மாறி போகுறேன்
Butterfly butterfly butterfly
It shrank as soon as it was touched
Your rule is all over my body
The breath boils up and down
Hey girl, what is your name?
If you tell me, I will sing a song using your name
Hey girl, where is your house?
I will become a resident son-in-law moving into your house
பள பள பள பள
பளவென பல்லாலே
கல கல கல கல கல
கலவென சிரிச்சாலே
உச்சி பாதம் வரை மொய்க்காதேடீ
எச்சில் ஊறும்படி வைக்காதடீ
Shining brightly bright
With teeth shining bright
Laughing delightfully
She laughed ringing out loud
Do not swarm me from head to toe, girl
Do not make my mouth water like that, girl
ஹேய் கொல கொல கொல கொல
கொழையாய் முந்திரிக்கா
தள தள தள தள தள
தளவென கத்திரிக்க
அதை வந்து வச்ச அச்சாரமே
மூழ்கி நான் எடுத்த முத்தாரமே
Hey luscious luscious luscious
Cashew nut like a tender cluster
Plump and glowing juicy fresh
Waiting so lush and fresh
An advance kept by aunt
A pearl necklace I dived in to retrieve
மண்ணோடு மழை போல
என்னோடு உறவாடு
பக்கத்தில் பல பொண்ணு
பத்தோடு பதினொன்னு
பதினாறு பழச்சாறு
நீ பார்வையால் பந்தாடு
Like rain joining the earth
Mingle and bond with me
Many girls nearby
Just one among ten
Sixteen fruit juices
Play ball with your gaze
அட பெண்ணே உன் பேரு என்னம்மா
சொன்னாலே பேர சொல்லி பாட்டு பாடுறேன்
அட பெண்ணே உன் வீடு எங்கம்மா
வீட்டோட மாப்பிள்ளையா மாறி போகுறேன்
Hey girl, what is your name?
If you tell me, I will sing a song using your name
Hey girl, where is your house?
I will become a resident son-in-law moving into your house

துளி துளி துளி துளி
துளியாய் நீராடு
வெடி வெடி வெடி வெடி
வெடி மருந்தை போராடு
Drop by drop drop drop
Bathe like falling drops of water
Explode like gunpowder
Fight like explosive powder
கந்தல் நோட்டெல்லாம்
செல்லாதுடா
பள்ளி பாடம் எல்லாம் பத்தாதுடா
Torn banknotes
Are invalid, my friend
All school lessons
Are not enough, my friend
விறு விறு விறு விறு
விறுவென முன்னேரு
விடு விடு விடு விடு
விடு உந்தன் கண்ணீரு
Rushing fast fast fast
March forward with speed
Drop drop drop drop
Shed your tears away
எந்தன் தோளின் மீது
பாரம் இல்லை
நீதி நியாயம் கேட்க
நேரம் இல்லை
Upon my shoulder
There is no burden
To demand justice and fairness
There is no time
கல்லூரி தேர் மீது
நான் போவேன் பூ மீது
அட பூவெல்லாம் நார் மீது
என் கோபம் யார் மீது
விரலோடு விரல் சேர்த்து
கும்மாளம் கூத்தாட
On the college chariot
I shall walk over flowers
All flowers rest on fiber string
Upon whom is my anger?
Joining finger with finger
Let us make merry and dance
அட பெண்ணே உன் பேரு என்னம்மா
சொன்னாலே பேர சொல்லி பாட்டு பாடுறேன்
அட பெண்ணே உன் வீடு எங்கம்மா
வீட்டோட மாப்பிள்ளையா மாறி போகுறேன்
Hey girl, what is your name?
If you tell me, I will sing a song using your name
Hey girl, where is your house?
I will become a resident son-in-law moving into your house
