உன் மேல ஒரு கண்ணு
நீதான் என் மொறப்பொண்ணு
ஒன்னோட இவ ஒன்னு
ஒன்ன மறந்தா வெறும் மண்ணு
I have my eye on you
You are my rightful bride
This girl is one with you
If I forget you, I am mere dust
இருக்குறேன் ஒன்னால
பறக்குறேன் தன்னால
கெரங்குறேன் நொறுங்குறேன்
பாரு நான் உன் மாப்புள்ள
I exist because of you
I fly all on my own
I swoon, I shatter
Look, I am your groom
உன் மேல ஒரு கண்ணு
நான்தான் உன் மொறப்பொண்ணு
ஒன்னோட இவ ஒன்னு
ஒன்ன மறந்தா வெறும் மண்ணு
I have my eye on you

You alone are my groom
கொஞ்சுனா மிஞ்சுற
மிஞ்சுனா கொஞ்சுற
ஏன்டி இந்த நாடகம்
கெஞ்சுனா அஞ்சுற
If I show affection, you act distant; if I act distant, you show affection
Why this drama, girl?
கெஞ்சுனா அஞ்சுற
அஞ்சுனா கெஞ்சுற
நாளும் உங்க நியாபகம்
If I plead, you fear; if I fear, you plead
Every day, thoughts of you linger
சொல்லாம கொள்ளாம
மூடி வச்சு என்ன அங்கேயும்
இங்கேயும் அலைய விட்ட
Keeping it hidden without saying a word
You made me wander here and there
அள்ளாம கில்லாம
நோக வச்சு என்ன முன்னாலும்
பின்னாலும் மொனங்க விட்ட
Without touching or pinching, you hurt me and made me
Groan both in front and behind
ஒத்துக்கிட்டா மாமன்தான்
கட்டிக்க வாறேன் வாறேன்
Since the maternal uncle has agreed
I am coming to marry you
உன் மேல ஒரு கண்ணு
நான்தான் உன் மொறப்பொண்ணு
ஒன்னோட இவ ஒன்னு
ஒன்ன மறந்தா வெறும் மண்ணு
I have my eye on you
I am your rightful bride
This girl is one with you
If I forget you, I am mere dust
வெட்டுனா ஒட்டுற
ஒட்டுனா வெட்டுற
லூசு பையன் மாதிாி
If I cut ties, you stick; if I stick, you cut ties
Like a crazy boy
கட்டுனா தட்டுற
தட்டுனா கட்டுற வா வா
கொல்லுதே வெறி
If I embrace, you push away; if I push away, you embrace
Come, come, the passion is killing me
கத்தாம சுத்தாம நீ
இருந்தா உன்ன திட்டாம
கொட்டாம ஏத்துக்குவேன்
If you stay quiet without shouting or making a fuss
I will accept you without scolding or hitting
நிக்காம கிக்கேர நீ
கொடுத்தா மிச்சம் வெக்காம
குத்தாட்டம் போட்டுக்குவேன்
If you give me a non-stop thrill
I will dance in joy without holding anything back
பொட்டு வச்ச பொண்ணு
நான் தொட்டுக்க தாரேன் தாரேன்
I am the girl designated for you
I give myself to be yours
உன் மேல ஒரு கண்ணு
நீதான் என் மொறப்பொண்ணு
I have my eye on you
You are my rightful bride
ஒன்னோட இவ ஒன்னு
ஒன்ன மறந்தா வெறும் மண்ணு
This girl is one with you
If I forget you, I am mere dust
