கண்முன்
பாதுகை கண்முன்
பாதுகை சில்லென்று
வீசும் நீ என் உதாகை
Footwear before my eyes
Footwear before my eyes
Blowing coolly
You are my Ooty breeze
புடவை நிலவே
வெட்கம் தொலைவே
ஓடி ஒளியாத டி
Moon wrapped in a saree
Shyness is far away
Do not run and hide, girl
கூந்தல் என்ற
கயிறை கொண்டு
கட்டி இழுக்காத டி
Using the rope
Called your long hair
Do not bind and pull me, girl

விஷ்லிங் :
....................
By the window side
Just like the wind
When I
Touch you
What feeling arises
ஜன்னல் ஓரத்தில்
காற்றை போலவே உன்னை
நான் தீண்டும் நேரம் என்ன
தோன்றுதோ
At the moment of embrace
Slipping away
When womanhood comes close
It brings goodness to us
தழுவும் நேரத்தில்
நழுவி போவாதே பெண்மையே
அருகில் வந்தால் நமக்கு
நன்மையும்
In the kitchen room
To be your support
I am half the flavor, girl
சமையல் அறையில்
உனக்கு துணையாய் பாதி
சுவை நான் அடி
In a family bond
Like leaf and flower
A flowering plant that lives
குடும்ப உறவில்
இலையும் மலராய் வாழும்
ஒரு பூச்செடி
Turmeric evening
Will you accept?
To swing upon my chest
Will you come?
