ஷாக் அடிக்கும் பூவே
சாக்லேட்டின் நிலவே
பூ கொடுத்து பேச
பூத்திருக்கும் அழகே
நீ போதும் போதும்
வேறென்ன வேண்டும்
மிச்சம் வைத்திடாமல்
அன்பே அள்ளி கொடு
O flower that gives an electric shock
O moon made of chocolate
To speak by offering a flower
O beauty in full bloom
You alone are enough, enough
What else is needed?
Give your love completely without saving anything back
ஓ யெஹ்......ஓ யெஹ்
ஓ யெஹ்......ஓ யெஹ் ஓ
Oh yeah... oh yeah
Oh yeah... oh hh...
ஷாக் அடிக்கும் பூவு

A flower that gives an electric shock
A moon made of chocolate
To speak by offering a flower
A beauty in full bloom
ஆஆ....ஆஅ.....ஆஅ.....
The scorching womanhood
Before noon arrives, I
Searched and searched
சுட்டேரிக்கும்
பெண் இனம்
உச்சி வரும் முன்பு நான்
தேடினேன் தேடினேன்
Has the cool white moon turned into the hot sun?
வெண்ணிலவு
சூரியன்னாய் ஆயாச்சோ
The milk ocean where pearls are harvested
The trembling flower-like body
I drowned, I drowned
முத்தெடுக்கும் பார்க்கடல்
தத்தளிக்கும் பூவுடல்
மூழ்கினேன் மூழ்கினேன்
Both our bodies
Will they not swim like boats?
தேகம் ரெண்டும்
ஓடம் என நீந்தாதோ
The suffering of flowers
If the honeybee touches, destiny will surely change
பூக்களின் வேதனை
வண்டு தொட்டால்
விதி மாறும் மாறும்
O night breeze
Without womanhood, it will rage and hiss
ராத்திரி தென்றலே
பெண்மை இல்லாவிடில் சீறும் சீறும்
Close the windows suddenly
சட்டென்று ஜன்னல்கள் சாத்து
Show me the peaks of bliss
சந்தோஷ உச்சங்கள் காட்டு
O flower that gives an electric shock
O moon made of chocolate
To speak by offering a flower
O beauty in full bloom
ஷாக் அடிக்கும் பூவே
சாக்லேட்டின் நிலவே
பூ கொடுத்து பேச
பூத்திருக்கும் அழகே
The vermilion dot applied on the forehead
Got imprinted on the chest
In the heart, in the heart
தொட்டு வெச்ச குங்குமம்
ஒட்டிகிச்சு நெஞ்சிலே
நெஞ்சிலே நெஞ்சிலே
Have sandalwood paste and vermilion
United together?
சந்தனமும் குங்குமமும்
சேர்ந்தாச்சோ
The green-bud jasmine
Got scattered on the bed
On the bed, on the bed
பச்சை மொட்டு மல்லிகை
ஒட்டிகிச்சு மெத்தையில்
மெத்தையில் மெத்தையில்
Has the bed now turned into
A flower garden?
மெத்தை இப்போ
நந்தவனம் ஆயாச்சோ
Among thousands and thousands of women, you alone
Stole my heart away
ஆயிரம் ஆயிரம்
பெண்ணில் நீதான்
என்னை கொள்ளை கொண்டாய்
Morning and evening
Burning me like fire
You gave me endless desire
காலையும் மாலையும்
என்னை தீயா சுடும்
ஆசை தந்தாய்
Turn the page of shyness
வெட்கத்தின் பக்கத்தை மாற்று
Show me heaven in a kiss
முத்தத்தில் சொர்க்கத்தை காட்டு
The floral-designed saree
Wrapped itself around you
The string of pearl beads scorched me
சித்திர பூ சேலை
சுத்திகிச்சு உன்ன
முத்து மணி மாலை
சுட்டுடுச்சு என்ன
You alone are enough, enough
What else is needed?
Give your love completely without saving anything back
நீ போதும் போதும்
வேறன்ன வேண்டும்
மிச்சம் வைத்திடாமல்
அன்பே அள்ளி கொடு
Oh yeah... oh yeah
Oh yeah... oh hh...
