Paadam palliyarai paadam paadum inba suram paadum

Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell, hey!
Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell.
Behind closed doors lies the way to heaven.
If the two of us understand each other, a hundred ways will help us.
A lesson, a bedroom lesson; it will sing sweet notes of joy.
Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell, hey!
Hey, don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell.
Behind closed doors lies the way to heaven.
If the two of us understand each other, a hundred ways will help us.
A lesson, a bedroom lesson; it will sing sweet notes of joy...
This is the time when the world yearns to rest,
The moment when every nerve races with excitement.
Spoken words are not needed now,
There is no time to argue now.
Food cooked fresh and hot
Should not be left to go cold in vain.
Food cooked fresh and hot
Should not be left to go cold in vain.
Can hunger ever be satisfied without serving the meal?
Without satisfying hunger, will the mood for joy arise? Shh hey...
Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell, haan!
Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell.
Behind closed doors lies the way to heaven.
If the two of us understand each other, a hundred ways will help us.
A lesson, a bedroom lesson; it will sing sweet notes of joy...
