With intoxication in deer-like eyes,
Did she come swaying dizzily?
Dressing up, gleaming, pouting, and captivated,
When she walks, inside the heart...
Jhanakku jhanakku, oh gorgeous beauty!
A moment to savor affection and sweetness!
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
On the road to Pondicherry,
Under the half-faded moon,
You came just to say goodbye,
Are you enchanted by love?
Hey hey hey hey
The kisses would not end,
In this charming girl's lap,
Because you leaned back with closed eyes,
Dawn hasn't broken yet...
Hey hey hey hey
The night time
Is turning wild and exciting...
The sweating white moon
Creeps across the sky...
The heat in our breath
Is building up a wall...
Only the bed
Is searching for me...
Hey hey hey hey
On the road to Pondicherry,
Under the half-faded moon,
You came just to say goodbye,
Are you enchanted by love?
Hey hey hey hey
You kissed the corner of my saree,
And I safely tied it into a knot...
Chorus: Hey hey hey hey
You rested your cheek against mine...
And I admired it in the mirror...
Chorus: Hey hey hey hey
Be it rain... or thunder...
Whatever falls... it will taste sweet!
With my heart pounding,
Where did you go?...
Chorus: Hey hey hey hey
Like stealing a treasure,
Making the tiger hunt for it,
Making you search, I will hold you close...
On the road to Pondicherry,
Under the half-faded moon,
You came just to say goodbye,
Are you enchanted by love?
Thoothukudi... Thuvakudi...
You rich landlord,
Go on ahead, boy...
Chorus: Hey hey hey hey
Draped in a violet brinjal-flower saree...
Neatly and gracefully, I
Came right behind you!
Chorus: Hey hey hey hey
Between you and me...
There is a bond of many days...
This closeness and excitement,
Do not let it slip away!
Chorus: Hey hey hey hey
You will love it too,
If you carry me away,
Carry me away,
My body won't be able to bear the thrill!
