பூ முகம் சிரிச்சா பூஞ்சிரிப்பு
உன் முகம் சிரிச்சா புல்லரிப்பு
ஆண்டிபட்டி ஹல்வா
நான் கிள்ளி பார்க்கவா
அரபு குதிரை உன்ன
நான் அடக்கி பார்க்கவா
When a flower-like face smiles, it is a flower smile
When your face smiles, it is like the breaking of dawn
Oh sweet Halwa of Andipatti
Shall I come to pinch and taste you?
You are like an Arabian horse
Shall I come to tame you?
போ மச்சான்
நெருங்கி வா மச்சான்
தா மச்சான்
கேட்டது தா மச்சான்
நாத்து எட்டி பாக்குது
கூத்து கட்ட கேட்க்குது
தொட்டா நெஞ்சில் பதம்தான்
ஒட்டி வருகுது
Oh flowery beloved
Come close to me, my beloved
Give it to me, my beloved
Give me what I asked for, my beloved
The nose ring peeks out
It asks to perform a folk dance
The tenderness on the touched heart
Comes and sticks to it
பூ முகம் சிரிச்சா பூஞ்சிரிப்பு
உன் முகம் சிரிச்சா புல்லரிப்பு
When a flower-like face smiles, it is a flower smile
When your face smiles, it is like the breaking of dawn
நையாண்டி நான் செஞ்சா
தாங்காது மேனி
உன்னோடு கச்சேரி செல்லாதுமா
புடி போட்டு நான் நின்னா
அடங்காதோ காளை
கண்டாங்கி சேல நீ சீறாதம்மா
If I pull off my playful mockery
Your body will not be able to handle it
Shall our musical duet go on with you?
If I stand taking a firm stance
Oh untamable bull
You ruffle your Kandangi saree, my dear
காளைய அடக்குற
சேலைய மடக்குற
வேலைய காட்டுற
லீலையில் மாட்டுற
என் ஜல்லிகட்ட மல்லுகட்ட
ஜகா வாங்குற
You tame the bull
You fold the saree
You show your clever tricks
You trap me in your playful games
To wrestle with my Jallikattu bull
You step back and dodge
நான் மதுரையில மூச்சுவிட்ட
பழனியில இடி இடிக்கும்
காட்டவா வேலை காட்டவா
கட்டையா தாலிய கட்டையா
If I breathe out in Madurai
Thunder strikes in Palani
Shall I start the trick, shall I?
Female: Will you tie the log or the sacred marriage thread?
பூ முகம் சிரிச்சா பூஞ்சிரிப்பு
உன் முகம் சிரிச்சா புல்லரிப்பு
When a flower-like face smiles, it is a flower smile
When your face smiles, it is like the breaking of dawn
என்னாச்சு ஏதாச்சு
எல்லாமே ஆச்சு
என் மூச்சு சூடாச்சு தாங்காதம்மா
மனசுக்குள் மனசுக்குள்
மத்தாப்பு ஆச்சு
மணி ஆச்சு மணி ஆச்சு போகுதம்மா
Whatever had to happen, happened
Everything is done
You cannot handle the heat of my breath, my dear
Deep inside the heart, deep inside the heart
Sparklers burst with joy
Time has passed, time has passed, do not leave
வயலுக்குள் இழுக்குற
வரப்புக்குள் அழைக்கிற
வரம்பையும் மீறுற
அரும்பையும் கீறுற
ஷோக்கா பேசி நேக்கா நின்னு
டேக்கா கொடுக்குற
You drag me into the field
You invite me onto the ridge
You even cross the boundaries
You scratch open even the tender flower buds
Speaking charmingly and standing smartly
You give a sly dodge
நான் தூண்டில்தான்
போட்டு புட்ட
கெண்டை மீன சிக்கிக்கும்
போடவா தூண்டில் போடவா
இழுக்குற மனச கெடுக்குற
If I cast my fishing line
Cast it right here
The carp fish will get trapped
Shall I cast the fishing line, shall I cast?
Female: You drag and spoil my mind
பூ முகம் சிரிச்சா பூஞ்சிரிப்பு

The female protagonist playfully responds with sharp wit, challenging his boldness while questioning whether his romantic advances will culminate in marriage.
