பதினெட்டு வயசில்
என்ன பிடிக்கும் பைத்தியத்தை
தவிர என்ன பிடிக்கும்
At eighteen years of age
What do you like?
Except for madness
What do you like?
உத்து உத்து ரசித்தால்
கொஞ்சம் பிடிக்கும் ஓர
கண்ணில் ரசித்தால்
ரொம்ப பிடிக்கும்
Staring continuously
If appreciated a little
I like it, but from the corner of the eye
If appreciated, I like it very much
தோப்புக்குள் குயிலின்
சத்தம் தோட்டத்தில் குருவி
சத்தம் கன்னி பெண் காதில்
தொட்டால் ஏது பிடிக்கும்
The sound of the cuckoo in the grove
The sound of the sparrow in the garden
In a young maiden's ear
When touched, which one do you like?
வாய் வைத்து வாயை
மூட வாய் பேசா பெண்ணுக்காக
வாதாடும் வல்வி சத்தம் அது
பிடிக்கும்
Placing mouth upon mouth
To silence it, arguing for the woman's sake
The clashing sound of bangles
That, I like
ஹே பதினெட்டு வயசில்
என்ன பிடிக்கும் பைத்தியத்தை
தவிர என்ன பிடிக்கும்
Hey, at eighteen years of age
What do you like?
Except for madness
What do you like?
................................
.................................
...
மார்கழி மாதத்தில்
குளிர் அடித்தால் கம்பளி
போர்வையில் ஏது பிடிக்கும்
...
ஓ மார்புக்குள் நீ
என்னை மூடிக்கொண்டால்
பக்கத்தில் பாய்கின்ற
வெப்பம் பிடிக்கும்
In the month of Margazhi
When the cold strikes, under a woolen blanket
Which blanket do you like?
தண்ணீர் ஓா் பக்கம்
உண்டாம் வெந்நீர் ஓா் பக்கம்
உண்டாம் பெண்ணே நீராடி
கொள்ள ஏது பிடிக்கும்
Oh, if you cover me inside your chest
Close to you
I like the warmth that flows
ஆ முத்தம் என்னும்
தீர்த்தம் கொண்டு ரத்தம் அது
உறையும் வண்ணம் நித்தம்
நீராட வேண்டும் அது பிடிக்கும்
Cold water on one side
Hot water on one side
Girl, to bathe in, which do you prefer?
தித்திக்கும்
உதட்டில் தீ பிடிக்கும்
Ah, taking the holy water called a kiss
Making the blood freeze with excitement
To bathe daily
That, I like
ஹே பதினெட்டு வயசில்
என்ன பிடிக்கும் பைத்தியத்தை
தவிர என்ன பிடிக்கும்
Fire catches on sweet lips
உத்து உத்து ரசித்தால்
கொஞ்சம் பிடிக்கும் ஓர
கண்ணில் ரசித்தால்
ரொம்ப பிடிக்கும்
Hey, at eighteen years of age
What do you like?
Except for madness
What do you like?

Staring continuously
If appreciated a little
I like it, but from the corner of the eye
If appreciated, I like it very much
தாயோடு தங்கையும்
துணை இருக்க யாரோட
தூங்கிட மிக பிடிக்கும்
...
தாயோடு தங்கையை
துரத்தி விட்டு தலையணையை
கட்டி கொண்டு தூங்க பிடிக்கும்
With mother and sister
Around for company, with whom
Would you like to sleep the most?
பூப்போல் ஒரு
தீண்டலுமுண்டு புயல்
போல் ஒரு சீண்டலுமுண்டு
ஏன்டி உன் தேகத்துக்கு ஏது
பிடிக்கும்
Chasing away mother
And sister, hugging the pillow
I like to sleep
பூப்போல் ஒரு
தீண்டல் தீண்டி புயல்
போல் என்னை சீண்டி
சீண்டி புதிதாய் ஒரு
வித்தை காட்டு அது
பிடிக்கும்
There is a soft touch like a flower
There is a wild tease like a storm
Hey girl, which one does your body prefer?
பெண்ணுக்குள்
பேரின்பம் வேர் பிடிக்கும்
Touching with a flower-like touch
Teasing me over and over like a storm
Show me a new trick, that I like
................................
Supreme bliss takes root inside the woman
ஹே பதினெட்டு வயசில்
என்ன பிடிக்கும் பைத்தியத்தை
தவிர என்ன பிடிக்கும்
