Hei…naan seettu kattu raani
Ennai settu serkka vaa nee
Ithu daal adikkum meni
Thoda vettaattam nee
Ooooo….oooo….ooo
Hei…naan seettu kattu raani
Ennai settu serkka vaa nee
Ithu daal adikkum meni
Thoda vettaattam nee
Naan poo kooda-vaa
Ippa yen kooda-poo

Poi aravanaikkum pennai

Hey... I am the queen in the deck of cards
Come make a set with me
This body shines like a doll
Go on a hunt to touch me
Ohhh... Ohhh... Ohhh
Hey... I am the queen in the deck of cards
Come make a set with me
This body shines like a doll
Go on a hunt to touch me
Am I a flower basket?
Why is there a flower with me now?
If you join in too,
To see, dance, and celebrate,
You are my stage!
Girl with dark beauty marks,
Girl filled with deep desires,
With every touch,
Are you reaching the peak?
Thara thath-tha thara
You look, you strike,
Thara thath-tha thara
Are you blossoming?
Thara thath-tha thara
You ask, you peck,
Thathara thathara
Are you leaping around?
Yo... come on everybody
Put your hands up
Tell me
There was a queen of cards
She got a body shining like a doll
Come closer to this guy, girl
We are craftier rogues than you
We are bad boys
You are just a young girl
If you try messing with us,
You won't be able to handle it, girl
Yo... stick onto the deck of cards
Come on, my sweet laddu
As I play with fire
To scorch the sky,
Play with my smile
To dazzle the eyes!
As I walk along with the rain
To bathe in water,
Along with my mistakes,
Until feet ache!
The body is melting butter,
A hand hides the sky,
A lie embraces the girl,
Aaaa... Haaaa... Aaaaa...
Thara thath-tha thara
You look, you strike,
Thara thath-tha thara
Are you blossoming?
Thara thath-tha thara
You ask, you peck,
Thathara thathara
Are you leaping around?
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Hey... I am the queen in the deck of cards
Come make a set with me
This body shines like a doll
Go on a hunt to touch me
Am I a flower basket?
Why is there a flower with me now?
If you join in too,
To see, dance, and celebrate,
You are my stage!
