உன் பொல்லாத
பார்வை அது என்மேல
ஓட மச்சம் கூட சிவந்து
போயிருச்சு
Your mischievous glance
As it glides over me
Even my mole turned red blushing
உன் இடுப்பு மடிப்புல
மனம் கசங்கி போயிருச்சு

In the folds of your waist
My heart got all crushed and crumpled
Female: My bangles and anklets
Are now lost

Hey glass-like body
This sugarcane from Melur
Asks to be crushed till breathless
யே என்னோட
சேலை அதை உன்னோட
வேட்டி போர்வையாக்கி
பொத்தி கொல்லுது
Hey, my saree
Along with your waist-cloth
Wraps together like a blanket
நீ குளிக்கும் பொழுதுல
உடல் எனக்கு நனையுது
இன்னும் குளிக்க
வில்லையே இப்ப எதுக்கு
குளிருது
When you take a bath
My body gets drenched in feel
Female: I haven't bathed yet
Why am I feeling cold now?
அடி வெயிலு
மழையும் ஒண்ணா
அடிக்கும் ஆசை
வயசிது
Hey, this age of desire is like
Sunlight and rain hitting together
