| Panaimarakkadaai | Like a tall palmyra tree shadow, |
| Enai patha vechu poraa | She sets me ablaze and walks away. |
| Kakkattam pottu | Laughing out loud with joy, |
| Siricha ponna | The girl who giggled, |
| Karkandu punnagaiyil | In her sweet sugar-candy smile, |
| Umandu sonna | She conveyed her feelings silently. |
| Adi inga naana alai kulanchena | Oh girl, was I the one tossed around like waves? |
| Oorukkae kathaikkira unda vadivae | Your shapely form captivates the whole village, |
| Pavadai sattaiyilum nee nathiyae | Even in a simple skirt and top, you flow like a river, |
| Sollam sollitayae un mudiva | Without explicit words, you made your decision clear. |
| Male | |
| Yei sillam pallamaaga | Hey, into broken pieces and deep hollows, |
| Sitharichae ullam | My heart got scattered. |
| Un vellai viral pattaal | If touched by your fair fingers, |
| Verum soru kooda vellam | Even plain boiled rice turns as sweet as jaggery. |
| Yanai iravu uppa | Like salt dissolving in the night, |
| Naan karainchanae mella | I dissolved away slowly. |
| Adi engayadi ungappa | Oh girl, where is your father? |
| Naan mamavendu solla | So I can address him respectfully as my father-in-law. |

| Enai kootti kondu po nee | Take me along with you. |
| Oru thoolang kodi pola | Like a sturdy support beam, |
| Enai thookkidathaan vaa nee | Come to lift me up. |

பனைமரக்காடாய்
எனை பத்த வச்சு போறா
கக்கட்டம் போட்டு
சிரிச்ச பொண்ண.....
கற்கண்டு புன்னகையில்
உமண்டு சொன்ன.....
அடி இங்க நானா அலை குலஞ்சேனா
ஊருக்கே கதைக்கின உண்ட வடிவே
பாவாடை சட்டையிலும் நீ நடிகையே
சொல்லாமா சொல்லிட்டாயே உன் முடிவ....
Like a tall palmyra tree shadow,
She sets me ablaze and walks away.

She conveyed her feelings silently.
Oh girl, was I the one tossed around like waves?
Your shapely form captivates the whole village,
Even in a simple skirt and top, you flow like a river,
Without explicit words, you made your decision clear.
ஏய் சில்லம் பள்ளமாக
சிதரிச்சே உள்ளம்
உன் வெள்ளை விரல் பட்டால்
வெறும் சோறு கூட வெள்ளம்
யானை இரவு உப்பா
நான் கரைஞ்சனே மெல்ல
அடி எங்கயடி உங்கப்பா
நான் மாமவொண்டு சொல்ல
Hey, into broken pieces and deep hollows,
My heart got scattered.
If touched by your fair fingers,
Even plain boiled rice turns as sweet as jaggery.
Like salt dissolving in the night,
I dissolved away slowly.
Oh girl, where is your father?
So I can address him respectfully as my father-in-law.
கூல கொடி போல
எனை கூட்டி கொண்டு போ நீ
ஒரு தூலாங் கொடி போல
எனை தூக்கிடத்தான் வா நீ
Like a tender slender vine,
Take me along with you.
Like a sturdy support beam,
Come to lift me up.
பனைமரக்காடாய்
எனை பத்த வச்சு போறா
கக்கட்டம் போட்டு
சிரிச்ச பொண்ண.....
கற்கண்டு புன்னகையில்
உமண்டு சொன்ன.....
அடி இங்க நானா அலை குலஞ்சேனா
ஊருக்கே கதைக்கின உண்ட வடிவே

ஏய் தூத்தல் போல தூறி
நீ என்னை நனைச்சியே
அடி குழப்படி ஏண்டி
சொல்லு மடச்சியே
Drizzling gently like a light shower,
You completely drenched me.
Oh girl, why create such confusion?
Tell me, my sweet innocent girl.
காம்பில் சட்டை ஹவா
உன் கண்கள் ரெண்டும் குத்தும்
அடி கீரை கடிச்சாலே
உன் கைகள் தாளே தட்டும்
ஒட்டி சுட்ட ரோடாய் இருந்ததே நெஞ்சு
ஒரு நொடியில உடஞ்சதே இன்டு
Like sharp wires,
Both your eyes pierce through me.
Oh girl, even at a simple touch,
Your hands beat to a poetic rhythm.
My heart was like a scorching asphalt road,
In a single instant, it broke today.
