சிங்கக்குட்டி நான்
தான்டி ஒன்ன செல்லம்
கொஞ்ச வாறேன்டி சொல்ல
சொல்ல கேக்காம வந்து
அம்மி கொத்தி போறேன்டி
I am a lion cub, girl!
I am coming to pamper and cuddle you, dear.
Without listening to anyone's words,
I am coming to chisel the grinding stone and settle in.
அடங்கி நீ நடக்கணும்
ஆட்டம் போடாம என்ன
கலந்துதான் செவக்கனும்
கூச்சம் காட்டாம
You must walk with composure,
Without acting recklessly.
You should turn blush red only by blending with me,
Without holding back out of shyness...
முறைமாமன்
தொட வேணும் வா
வாட்டாம
Your maternal uncle wants your touch,
Come to me without pining away...
சிங்கக்குட்டி நீ

கொஞ்ச வாறேனே சொல்ல
சொல்ல கேக்காம வந்து
குப்ப கொட்ட போறேனே
You are the lion cub indeed,
I am coming to pamper and cuddle you.
Without listening to anyone's words,
I am coming to build my home right here...
அடங்கி நீ நடக்கணும்
ஆட்டம் போடாம என்ன
கலந்து நா செவக்கனும்
கூச்சம் காட்டாம
You must walk with composure,
Without acting recklessly.
When I blend with you, I should turn blush red,
Without holding back out of shyness.
இலை போட்டும்
பசி ஆனேன் நீ ஊட்டாம
Even with a leaf laid out, I remained hungry,
Because you didn't feed me...
கண்ண வெச்சு
நீதான் என்ன கத்திரிச்சு
போற
மந்திரிச்ச ஆட
உயிர் சுத்துது ஒன்ன
சேர
Just with your eyes,
You are snipping me apart like scissors.
Female: Like a spellbound goat,
My soul revolves around wanting to join you.
அச்சுவெல்ல
பேச்சில் நீதான் சுண்ட
காச்சுற
எச்சி வெக்க
ஏங்கித்தானே வண்டி
ஓட்டுற
With your jaggery-sweet talk,
You boil it down until it thickens...
Female: Intending to leave your mark,
You drive the chariot right here...
நீ வர மறுத்து
பாத்தா உச்சி மூளைய
மோதுது போதை விலகாத
When you approach, the path changes...
Intoxication strikes the top of my brain...
Do not move away...

Male: Without listening to anyone,

There is no defeat for true love...
Male: Overall,
There is no doubt left to ask...

For this bond of ours to continue...

The male protagonist playfully boasts about his strength and affection, calling himself a 'lion cub' eager to win over his beloved and settle down with her. In response, the female protagonist teasingly accepts his affections while expressing how his sweet talk and charming gaze completely bewitch her. As the song progresses, the dialogue deepens into a heartfelt expression of enduring love. They reflect on how true love only grows stronger with time and how no material wealth compares to their bond. The lyrics culminate in a celebratory anticipation of marriage, symbolizing eternal togetherness that spans across lifetimes.
