Naane naane nannaana nannaa naane naa
Naane naane nannaane nannaa naane naa
Machan kitta munthaanaiya thandhu vaipaalaa
Munthaanaiya thanthuputu summa nipaalaa
Pala naazh pasi iruku virundhu vaipaalaa
Ketta kodupatharku pulla vaikolaa
Vilakaadhae vidamaten machan veroaraala

Idupil ulla madipukulla maatikiten maanae
Athukuthaanae izhuthu ippa pothikiten naanae
Hey mottu udamba thotu thirakum thethi onnu sollu sollu
Kattipudicha puyaladikum ippo konjam thalli nillu
Aluki kuluki yemmanasai kollai adikiriyae
Virati virati pen manasil kili pudikiriyae

Will she surrender her sari pallu to her sweetheart?
After giving away her sari pallu, will she just stand still?
I have been hungry for many days—will she serve me a feast?
Is a girl dry straw, to give away just because you ask?
Don't pull away, I won't let you go—is your sweetheart a stranger?
Will she surrender her sari pallu to her sweetheart?
After giving away her sari pallu, will she just stand still?
I got caught in the folds of your waist, my love!
That's why I pulled my sari tight and covered myself!
Tell me a date to touch your bud-like body and make it bloom!
If you embrace me, a storm will blow—so stand back a little for now!
Swaying and teasing, you're stealing my heart away!
Chasing me endlessly, you capture the parrot in a girl's heart!
Instead of just stirring up the heat and leaving, come by the riverbank!
Will she surrender her sari pallu to her sweetheart?
After giving away her sari pallu, will she just stand still?
My golden skin has flushed red, my love, just looking at you!
I've started sweating too, looking at that beauty mark of yours!
Striking against your silk-soft skin...
...a flash of lightning leaps and dances!
To wipe away shyness and put out the lamp,
As the window closes its eyes,
Even without chewing betel leaves, our lips must turn red!
Will she surrender her sari pallu to her sweetheart?
After giving away her sari pallu, will she just stand still?
I have been hungry for many days—will she serve me a feast?
Is a girl dry straw, to give away just because you ask?
Don't pull away, I won't let you go—is your sweetheart a stranger?
