| Ne takkunu paartha | If you look all of a sudden, |
| Dhikkunu aagum | My heart skips a beat, |
| Bakkunu manasu thaanaa.. | Suddenly my heart on its own... |
| Adikkumae | Beats rapidly! |
| Male | |
| Ne pachunu onnu | If you warmly give, |
| Ichchinu koduththaa | A sweet kiss, |
| Nachunu narambu thaana.. | Precisely my nerves on their own... |
| Thudikkumae | Will throb! |

| Nee pattunu | If you suddenly |
| Thirumbi paartha | Turn around and look, |

| Nee sattunu | If you quickly |
| Orasi pona | Brush past me, |
| Naa takkunu fuse aaven | My fuse will instantly blow. |

நீ டக்குன்னு பார்த்தா
திக்குன்னு ஆகும் பக்குனு
மனசு தானா அடிக்குமே
If you look all of a sudden,
My heart skips a beat,
Suddenly my heart on its own...
Beats rapidly!
நீ பச்சுன்னு ஒன்னு
இச்சின்னு கொடுத்தா
நச்சுன்னு நரம்பு தானா
துடிக்குமே
If you warmly give,
A sweet kiss,
Precisely my nerves on their own...
Will throb!
நீ பட்டுன்னு திரும்பி
பார்த்தா நா டப்புன்னு
ஆஃப் ஆவேன்
If you suddenly
Turn around and look,
I will instantly turn off.
நீ சட்டுன்னு
உரசி போனா நா
டக்குனு ஃபியூஸ்
ஆவேன்
If you quickly
Brush past me,
My fuse will instantly blow.
நீ போதுன்னு
விழுந்தா கப்புன்னு
புடிப்பேன் மப்புல காலு
காத்தில் பறக்குமே
If you drop down heavily,
I will catch you firmly.
Feet feeling tipsy,
Flying in the air!
நீ ஜல்லுனு நடந்து
ஜில்லுன்னு போனா
ஜிவ்வுன்னு எனக்கு
சாக்கு அடிக்குமே
When you walk jingling,
And pass by coolly,
A sharp sensation for me,
Gives an electric shock!
{ தக தகனு எரியும்
உன் வயசு வெட வெட
பையன் எனக்கு இது
புதுசு
{Glowing brightly and fiery,
Your youth is,
I am a young naive guy,
This is all new to me!
கட கடன்னு
ஏறுது என் பல்சு
பட படன்னு
இதயத்தில ட்ரம்சு } (2)
Rapidly,
My pulse rises,
With a thumping sound,
Drums beat in my heart!} (2)
பாஷை புரியாத
ஒரு வார்த்த வருதே
பேச முடியாத ஒரு
ஏக்கம் தருதே
An incomprehensible language,
A word comes out,
An unspoken,
Longing is created.
நீ டக்குன்னு பார்த்தா
திக்குன்னு ஆகும் பக்குனு

This playful romantic song captures the frantic excitement, rapid heartbeats, and overwhelming emotions a young man experiences when his love interest is nearby. He humorously compares his physical and emotional reactions—such as elevated pulse rates, throbbing nerves, and feeling dizzy—to electrical shocks and blown fuses triggered by her simple glances, touches, and gestures.
