டீனேஜு கேர்ல்ஸ் பூஞ்சிட்டு
காலேஜூ கேர்ல்ஸ் தேன் சொட்டு
புதுப்பாட்டு இன்றுதான் கேளுங்கள்
கோடான கோடி சுகம் தரும் லேடீஸூ
நெஞ்சம் மயங்கிடும் ரொமான்ஸூ
கொஞ்சும் இளமையை நிலவில் தொடவிடு
Teenage girls are like delicate flower-birds
College girls are like sweet drops of honey
Listen to this brand new song today
Ladies who bring millions upon millions of pleasures
A romance that mesmerizes the heart
Let tender youth touch the moon
புதுமல்லி செண்டாட உடல் வரும்
மதுவள்ளி கொண்டாட இதழ் தரும்
இடை துள்ளி திண்டாடும் சுகமல்லவா....
The body sways like a cluster of fresh jasmine flowers
Lips yield sweetness like celebrating wine
Isn't it pure bliss when the waist leaps and trembles?
புதுமல்லி செண்டாட உடல் வரும்
மதுவள்ளி கொண்டாட இதழ் தரும்
இடை துள்ளி திண்டாடும் சுகமல்லவா.....
The body sways like a cluster of fresh jasmine flowers
Lips yield sweetness like celebrating wine
Isn't it pure bliss when the waist leaps and trembles?
பாட்டு பாடி ஆட்டம் ஆட தோட்டம் இருந்தா
பூவுக்குள்ளே வண்டு பறக்கும்
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே ஆச வந்து கோட்ட கட்டினா
நித்தம் நித்தம் மனம் துடிக்கும்
என்னென்ன துன்பம் என்னென்ன இன்பம் பொங்குமே
If there is a garden to sing songs and dance
A honeybee will fly inside the flower
If desires build a fort inside the heart
The mind will beat endlessly day after day
Oh, how sorrows and joy will overflow!
ஹே பாப்பா பாப்பாப்பா பப்பா ஓபாப்பா

சொர்க்கம்தான் வந்தாடும் புதுப்புது
வெட்கம்தான் தந்தாடும் தனித்தனி
இன்பம்தான் கொண்டாடும் சுகமல்லவா
Heaven itself comes dancing in ever-new ways
Shyness dances and presents itself in unique ways
Isn't it joy to celebrate pleasure?
சொர்க்கம்தான் வந்தாடும் புதுப்புது
வெட்கம்தான் தந்தாடும் தனித்தனி
இன்பம்தான் கொண்டாடும் சுகமல்லவா
Heaven itself comes dancing in ever-new ways
Shyness dances and presents itself in unique ways
Isn't it joy to celebrate pleasure?
மின்னலுக்கு சேலைக்கட்டி மூட நினைத்தால்
வாழ்க்கையிலே முடியாது
வானவில்லை எப்போதும் பார்த்து ரசிக்க
வானத்திலே நடக்காது
எங்கெங்கு சுகம் எங்கெங்கு வரும் தெரியுமே....
If you try to wrap lightning in a saree and cover it
It is impossible in life
Just to admire and enjoy a rainbow
One cannot walk up in the sky
You know where pleasure lies and where it will come from
ரித்தத்து ரித்தருதுத்து ரித்தத்து ரித்தருதுத்து
ரிபப்பா பபபாப்பா பப்பா ஓபாப்பா......யாஹ்...
