| Male | |
| Yae pattampoochchiku | Hey, like putting a silk cloth |
| Pattuththuni pottathu pola | On a butterfly, |
| Chittaanjchittukku | Who draped a saree |
| Selaikatti vittathu yaaru | On a tiny little bird? |
| Male | |
| Seenikkattiyila | Like making a statue |
| Silai onnu senjathu pola | Out of a sugar cube, |
| Ettaa uyaraththil | Who made us salivate |
| Echchi oora vittathu yaaru | By placing it at an unreachable height? |
| Female | |
| Pachchai ilai pottu | Even after laying down a green leaf |
| Panthi vachcha pinnaalum | And serving a feast, |
| Pasiyaara theriyaama kedakkiraen | I lie here, not knowing how to satisfy my hunger. |
| Female | |
| Achchu vellam paaththu | Looking at the block of jaggery, |
| Echchi vaikka theriyaama | Not knowing how to taste it, |
| Achchaththilla naanthaan thavikkiraen | I squirm here without fear. |

ஏ பட்டாம்பூச்சிக்கு
பட்டுத்துணி போட்டது போல
சிட்டாஞ்சிட்டுக்கு
சேலைகட்டி விட்டது யாரு
Hey, like putting a silk cloth
On a butterfly,
Who draped a saree
On a tiny little bird?
சீனிக்கட்டியில
சிலை ஒன்னு செஞ்சது போல
எட்டா உயரத்தில்
எச்சி ஊற விட்டது யாரு
Like making a statue
Out of a sugar cube,
Who made us salivate
By placing it at an unreachable height?
பச்சை இலை போட்டு
பந்தி வச்ச பின்னாலும்
பசியாற தெரியாம கெடக்கிறேன்
Even after laying down a green leaf
And serving a feast,
I lie here, not knowing how to satisfy my hunger.
அச்சு வெல்லம் பாத்து
எச்சி வைக்க தெரியாம
அச்சத்தில்ல நான்தான் தவிக்கிறேன்
Looking at the block of jaggery,
Not knowing how to taste it,
I squirm here without fear.
அடி வஞ்சிக்கொடியே வாடி
நீ வளத்த பொருள தாடி
கன்னம் ரெண்டில் ஒன்னு கொடுத்தா
எண்ணித்தருவேன் கோடி
Hey, vine-like girl, come here,
Give me the treasure you nurtured!
If you give me one kiss on the cheeks,
I will count and give you a crore in return!
ஏ வன்னி தமிழா வாய்யா
உனக்கு வாச்ச பொருள தாய்யா
பச்சை முத்தம் ஒன்னு கொடுத்தா
பத்திக் கொள்ளுவேன் தீயா
Hey, Vanni Tamil man, come,
Give me the love destined for you!
If you give me a raw kiss,
I will catch fire like flame!
ஓர சேலைய நீ
உள் வயிறு சொருகையில
ஈர கொலையெல்லாம்
என்னமோ பன்னுதடி
As you tuck the corner of your saree
Into your inner waist,
Deep inside my vital organs,
Something strange happens, my girl!
கீழ் வேட்டி மடிக்க
உன் கெண்டை கால் தெரிகையில்ல
தாழ் போட்டு நான் படிக்க
தவியா தவிக்குதைய்யா
As you fold your lower garment
And your calf muscle shows,
To latch the door and lie down,
My heart yearns desperately, my man!
பாசத்தை உள்ள வச்சு
பாசாங்கு வெளிய வச்சு
வேசங்கட்டி வந்தவளே
வெறு வாய மெல்லுறியே
Keeping love inside,
Putting on a pretense outside,
Oh lady who came in disguise,
Why do you chew empty air?
முந்திரி காட்டோட
மொச பிடிக்கும் வல்லவரே
ரெண்டு மொசம் இங்க இருக்கு
கண்டுகொள்ள கூடாதா
Master who catches hares
In the cashew forests,
There are two hares right here,
Can't you see them?
ஏ வஞ்சிக்கொடியே வாடி
நீ வளத்த பொருள தாடி
கன்னம் ரெண்டில் ஒன்னு கொடுத்தா
எண்ணித்தருவேன் கோடி
Hey, vine-like girl, come here,
Give me the treasure you nurtured!
If you give me one kiss on the cheeks,
I will count and give you a crore in return!
மாணிக்கம் இல்ல
மணி வைரம் ஏதுமில்ல
கட்டழக தவிர
என் காணிக்கை ஏதுமில்ல
There are no rubies,
Nor any precious diamonds;
Except for my youthful beauty,
I have no other offering.
மாணிக்க மேனியடி
மணிமுத்து பற்களடி
உள் ரவிக்கை ஊறி வரும்
உப்புத்தேனு போதுமடி
You have a ruby-like body,
Pearl-like teeth,
The sweet honey welling up
From inside your blouse is enough for me!
கனத்த மாரழகா
கருத்துள்ள தோளழகா
நானூறு நீ பண்ணு
நான் உனக்கு என்ன பண்ண
Handsome man with a broad chest,
Handsome man with strong, dark shoulders,
Show me four hundred endearing antics,
What shall I do in return for you?
மாவீரன் மண் காக்க
மானமுள்ள பெண் காக்க
அஞ்சாறு புலிக்குட்டி
அவசரமா வேணுமடி
For a great warrior to protect the land,
And to protect an honorable woman,
Five or six tiger cubs
Are needed urgently!
ஏ வன்னி தமிழா வாய்யா
உனக்கு வாச்ச பொருள தாய்யா
ஏ பச்சை முத்தம் ஒன்னு கொடுத்தா
பத்திக் கொள்ளுவேன் தீயா
Hey, Vanni Tamil man, come,
Give me the love destined for you!
If you give me a raw kiss,
I will catch fire like flame!
