Sakka podu pottanae savukku kannala
Sathiyama paakkala ithukku munnala
Thanga than mudiyala ayyo yennala
En thavani nazhuvuthu kezhae thannala
Sakka podu pottalae savukku kannala
Sathiyama paakkala ithukku munnala
Thanga than mudiyala ayyo yennala
En thaagam than kooduthu intha ponnala
Kondaiyilae poovadukki
Gummunuthan pesura
Kendakkaala neevura
Kichu kichu moottikittae
Kirukku pudika vekkira
Anju nodi nerathila
Kodi murai paakura
Meenukunju pola thulli
Aisalakadi kaattura
Echchi thottu kachithama
Unnai ennai ottikalam
Female :Mutham vechu mutham vechu
Moochu mutta kattikalam
Kozhuthu pona pombala
Idupa kondadi
Female :Eh..konjam naanum oodina
Thavipa thindadi
Ullangala serthu vechu
Oorukaga vazhura
Pambarama oodura
Unnai enni enguranae
Enna seiya pogura
Ullangaiyil thookki vechu
Uthu uthu paarkava
Urutti keezha thalli
Ondikku ondi aadava

Sakka podu pottanae savukku kannala
Sathiyama paakkala ithukku munnala

He blew me away with his sharp, whip-like eyes!
Truly, I have never seen anyone like this before.
Oh no, I just cannot bear it!
My half-saree is slipping down all on its own.
She blew me away with her sharp, whip-like eyes!
Truly, I have never seen anyone like this before.
Oh no, I just cannot bear it!
My thirst only grows because of this girl.
Arranging flowers in your hair bun,
you talk with such striking charm,
caressing your calves,
tickling my senses,
you are driving me crazy!
In a span of just five seconds,
you look at me a million times.
Leaping like a tiny fish,
you tease me with your playful charms.
Dabbing a bit of moisture, perfectly,
we can stick you and me together.
Female: Giving kiss after kiss,
we can hold each other until we are breathless.
Such a curvy, gorgeous woman,
celebrating your waist,
Female: Hey, if I run away even a little,
you will struggle and flounder in longing!
Uniting our hearts,
are you living just for the world's sake?
You keep spinning around like a top!
I am yearning for you,
so what are you going to do?
Lifting you up in my palms,
shall I gaze at you closely?
Rolling you over and pushing you down,
shall I play with you one-on-one?
With that single word you spoke,
my heart caught fire!
Male: Now, upon my cheeks,
write a story made of kisses.
Just like freshly cooked rice,
you are steaming hot!
Male: Hey, just to mess up your pleated saree,
I am calling out to you!
He blew me away with his sharp, whip-like eyes!
Truly, I have never seen anyone like this before.
Male: Oh no, I just cannot bear it!
My thirst only grows because of this girl.
