O stylish beauty...
Darling, darling, sweet darling...
Charming girl, come, come, come to me!
O handsome man...
My handsome prince, my Cupid, my love...
Charming man, come, come, come to me!
Speak, speak, speak, setting it to a tune,
Speak, speak, speak!
Shower, shower, shower pearls of sweet words,
Shower, shower them!
O stylish beauty...
Darling, darling, sweet darling!
Female: O charming man...
Come, come, come to me!
Male: O stylish beauty...
My beloved, my love, my dear,
Love me morning and night,
Love me, my beloved!
My beloved, my love, my man,
Is there any love without you?
My love, my beloved!
My beloved, my love, my dear,
Love me morning and night,
Love me, my beloved!
My beloved, my love, my man,
Is there any love without you?
My love, my beloved!
Pick the flowers, pick the flowers,
Gather the gold, gather the gold,
Give me a warm press with your flower-petal lips!
It hurts, it hurts,
Take your hands away,
I am delicate and tender, just a tiny green mango!
Are you a silk doll who slipped away
from all watchful eyes and rules?
Are you an unripe fruit whose shyness vanished
the moment I tried to touch you?
A blossoming vine walking gracefully step by step!
O stylish beauty... darling, darling, sweet darling!
Female: O charming man... come, come, come to me!
Male: O stylish beauty...
In the election of love,
you are the prince I chose!
My prince, my chosen one!
Riding in a grand chariot,
comes my divine queen!
My queen, my divine one!
In the election of love,
you are the prince I chose!
My prince, my chosen one!
Riding in a grand chariot,
comes my divine queen!
My queen, my divine one!
Along the rippling stream,
in the cool northern breeze,
you are a boat gently gliding!
In the romantic evening,
inside the lush garden,
this is the lesson taught by Cupid!
Filled with shy modesty, holding your clothes
to cover whatever is left,
like a lively Pattukkottai song,
you come close to dance!
A blossoming vine walking gracefully step by step!
O handsome man...
My handsome prince, my Cupid, my love...
Charming man, come, come, come to me!
O stylish beauty...
Darling, darling, sweet darling...
Charming girl, come, come, come to me!
Speak, speak, speak, setting it to a tune,
Speak, speak, speak!
Shower, shower, shower pearls of sweet words,
Shower, shower them!
O handsome man...
My handsome prince, my Cupid, my love...
Male: Charming girl, come, come, come to me!
Female: O handsome man...
