Hey!
For the mother who gave birth to you,
we must ward off the evil eye!
For that wide-open blouse of yours,
I need to fasten the hook!
The mother who gave birth to me
is your mother-in-law, man!
If you ever leave me and walk away,
you will end up an ascetic monk, man!
In the afternoon,
was the meal I served you not enough?
Female: For a senseless man with no wit,
a hearty feast is hardly needed!
Let him loose and watch him charge,
he is a wild bull-taming man!
Female: But before a saree-clad girl,
look at him fall to his knees!
For the mother who gave birth to you,
we must ward off the evil eye!
For that wide-open blouse of yours,
I need to fasten the hook... hoon!
The mother who gave birth to me
is your mother-in-law, man!
If you ever leave me and walk away,
you will end up an ascetic monk, man!
...
Because of you, I lost my ways!
Because of me, you lost your ways too!
Did we ruin each other,
or is this cotton bed just a game of dice?
Are you of high standing,
and am I of low standing?
Haven't we become one now?
Didn't we merge our very lives together?
Linking you and me, you and me
together,
the whole town is gossiping about us!
What has happened to me?
My breath is catching!
Something has happened to my heart,
and my sleep is completely gone!
Oh my!
Let him loose and watch him charge,
he is a wild bull-taming man!
Female: Hey, before a saree-clad girl,
look at him fall to his knees!
...
For all the thirst in the world,
it is the camel that stores up water!
Will this pot of water ever run dry?
Will it quench our deep thirst?
Hoarding all kinds of treasures,
locked safely away in the camel,
you rascal boy, come plunder it!
And give me a share of that loot!
Locking our lips together,
put on the lock and shut the door tight!
I am a swaying young sapling,
and you are the gusty breeze of the Aadi month!
Oh, you rogue dressed in a dhoti,
I am freshly sliced betel nut!
Oh my!
Let him loose and watch him charge,
he is a wild bull-taming man!
Female: Hey, before a saree-clad girl,
look at him fall to his knees!
Hey!
For the mother who gave birth to you,
we must ward off the evil eye!
For that wide-open blouse of yours,
I need to fasten the hook!
The mother who gave birth to me
is your mother-in-law, man!
If you ever leave me and walk away,
you will end up an ascetic monk, man!
In the afternoon,
was the meal I served you not enough?
Female: For a senseless man with no wit,
a hearty feast is hardly needed!
Let him loose and watch him charge,
he is a wild bull-taming man!
Female: But before a saree-clad girl,
look at him fall to his knees!

“Naan neliyira naathu / Nee aadi maasa kaathu”

“Nee enna mel mattam / Naan enna keezh mattam”
