ஹேய்
குயின்னே பென்குயினே
ஒயினே சாம்பொய்ன்னே

இத்தாலி மேண்டலின்னே
Hey
She is a queen, a penguin
Like fine wine and champagne
An Italian mandolin that plays music
When touched...

பொண்ணு அவ மனசுக்குள்ள
ஆழத்த பாக்கனுன்னே
Like a marine ship, a submarine
I am climbing aboard to step
Into that girl's heart
To see how deep it goes.
ஹிப்புல பெல்லி பெல்லி
லிப்புல ஜெல்லி ஜெல்லி

Belly dancer movement on her hip
Soft jelly-like sweetness on her lips
Only in her eyes
She carries spicy chili fire.
டாக்கும் அவள பத்தி

All talk is about her
All walking revolves around her
Oh dear, upon seeing her
It makes me want to say 'What a beauty!'
