பச்சை மரிக்கொழுந்து சொக்கி சொக்கி

Green marikolunthu herb,
Why did it turn red in enchantment?
Is it shyness, marital shyness?
பச்சை மரிக்கொழுந்து சொக்கி சொக்கி
செவந்ததென்ன வெக்கமா கல்யாண வெக்கமா
மூடி மறச்சதெல்லாம் பார்த்து விட
ஆசை வச்சா நிக்குமா சொக்காம நிக்குமா
Green marikolunthu herb,
Why did it turn red in enchantment?
Is it shyness, marital shyness?
Female: Everything that was covered and hidden,
Since you wished to see it all,
Will it remain still without being fascinated?
அலுங்கி குலுங்கி நடக்கிறே
அழகில் ஆள உலுக்குறே
உண்டியல போல என்னை
ஆசையிலே குலுக்குறே
Walking with swaying movements,
Shaking a person with beauty,
Like a piggy bank,
You shake me with desire.
இழுத்து புடிச்சு வளைக்கிறே
இடுப்ப ஒடைக்க நெனைக்கிறே
மாலை ஒண்ணு மாத்தும் முன்னே
மாங்கா திங்க வைக்கிறே
Pulling and bending me,
Thinking to break my waist,
Before even exchanging wedding garlands,
Making me crave raw mangoes.
பச்சை மரிக்கொழுந்து சொக்கி சொக்கி

நேத்து வர ஆசையிலே
உன்னை பார்க்கையில மனம் ஏங்கலையே
கிட்ட வந்து நிக்கையிலே
தொட்டு போகையில மனம் தாங்கலையே
Until yesterday, in desire,
When looking at you, my heart did not long like this.
When coming close and standing,
And touching as you go, my heart cannot bear it.
கண்டவுடன் கண்ணுக்குள்ள வந்து
ஒட்டிக்கிட்ட கண்ணு தூங்கலையே
மோகத்துல சிக்கிக்கிட்ட
சின்ன நெஞ்சிக்குள்ள ஆசை தீரலையே
As soon as I saw you, coming into my eyes,
Glued inside, my eyes could not sleep.
Trapped in passion,
The desire inside this small heart does not end.
நிலா நிலா வட்ட நிலா
என் பக்கத்தில் வந்து சுட்டுடுச்சே
புறா புறா வெள்ள புறா மேலே
குங்குமம் இப்ப கொட்டிக்கிச்சு
முத்துமணி மாலை என் மேலே சிந்திப் போச்சு
உள்ளுக்குள்ள மூச்சு உன்னால சூடாச்சு
Moon, moon, round moon,
It came near me and burnt me.
Female: Dove, dove, white dove,
Kumkum has poured over it now.
Male: A pearl garland spilled over me.
Female: The breath inside grew warm because of you.
அலுங்கி குலுங்கி நடக்கிறே
அழகில் ஆள உலுக்குறே
மாலை ஒண்ணு மாத்தும் முன்னே
மாங்கா திங்க வைக்கிறே
Walking with swaying movements,
Shaking a person with beauty,
Female: Before exchanging garlands,
Making me crave raw mangoes.

முத்தத்தில ரெண்டு வகை
ஒண்ணு கொடுக்கலாம் ஒண்ணு எடுக்கலாம்
மாமனுக்கு ஆசை என்ன
முத்தம் கொடுப்பதா இல்ல எடுப்பதா
There are two types of kisses,
One to give, one to take.
What is the uncle's desire?
To give a kiss or to take one?
பச்சக்கிளி பக்கம் வந்தா
பாடம் சொல்லி தந்தா ரெண்டும் படிக்கலாம்
முத்தத்தில் மூழ்கி கிட்டு
கொஞ்சம் மூச்சடிச்சி முத்து குளிக்கலாம்
If the green parrot comes near,
And teaches a lesson, we can learn both.
Drowning in kisses,
Holding our breath, we can dive for pearls.
அய்யோ ஐயோ பத்திக்குமே
உன் மீசையில கன்னம் குத்திக்குமே
பழக பழக ஒத்துக்குமே
உன் கன்னங்கள் ரெண்டும் தித்திக்குமே
எதுக்கு வம்பு தாங்காது சின்ன உடம்பு
முள்ளுக்கு பயந்தா பூக்காது ரோசாப்பூ
Oh my, oh my, it will catch fire!
My cheek pricks against your mustache.
Male: As we get familiar, it will accept it,
Both your cheeks will taste sweet.
Female: Why court trouble? This small body cannot handle it.
Male: If afraid of thorns, a rose flower will not bloom.
