| Male | |
| Kanna suthi olicha nooru kathi | A hundred knives hidden around the eyes, |
| Mutham vachi mudicha paalangatti | A condensed milk sweet wrapped with a kiss, |
| Unna suthi varadhe vela vetti | Wandering around you is my only idle work, |
| Thaenuthotti en maanukutti | My pot of honey, my little fawn, |
| Male | |
| Asathi oruthi niruthi | Surpassing everyone, she stopped, |
| Anathi vanathee koluthi | An orphan forest she set ablaze, |
| Azhuthi nagathi kadathi | Pressing, moving, smuggling, |
| Agathee keduthaa keluthi | Agastya ruined, a scheming woman, |
| Male | |
| En raakaalam adha | My night time, that... |
| Varuthi varuthi | Tormenting and roasting, |
| Oru pookaalam adha | A spring season, that... |
| Thoduthaa poruthi | Joining when touched, |
| Oru pen melae | Upon a woman, |
| Pali somathi somathi | Heaping blame upon blame, |
| Naan kaidhaanaen | I became a prisoner, |
| Enna unakkul niruthi | Captivating myself inside you. |

கண்ண சுத்தி ஒழிச்ச நூறு கத்தி
முத்தம் வெச்சி முடிச்சா பாலங்கட்டி
உன்ன சுத்தி வரதே வேல வெட்டி
தேனுத்தொட்டி என் மானுக்குட்டி
A hundred knives hidden around the eyes,
A condensed milk sweet wrapped with a kiss,
Wandering around you is my only idle work,
My pot of honey, my little fawn,
அசதி ஒருத்தி நிறுத்தி
அனத்தி வானதி கொழுத்தீ
அழுத்தி நகத்தி கடத்தி
அகத்தீ கெடுத்தா கெளுத்தி
Surpassing everyone, she stopped,
An orphan forest she set ablaze,
Pressing, moving, smuggling,
Agastya ruined, a scheming woman,
என் ராக்காலம் அத
வருத்தி வருத்தி
ஒரு பூக்காலம் அத
தொடுத்தா பொருத்தி
ஒரு பெண் மேலே
பழி சுமத்தி சுமத்தி
நான் கைதானேன்
என்ன உனக்குள் நிறுத்தி
My night time, that...
Tormenting and roasting,
A spring season, that...
Joining when touched,
Upon a woman,
Heaping blame upon blame,
I became a prisoner,
Captivating myself inside you.
உயிர் பத்திக்காம
விடமாட்டாளோ
ஒரு கடல் கொட்டிக்காம
கடக்காதோ உன் கண்களோ
Without hurting life,
Will she not let go?
Without spilling an ocean,
Can your eyes cross over?
மனம் சிக்கிக்காம
தரமாட்டாளோ
இரு உடல் ஓட்டிக்காம
உறங்காது தாகங்களோ
Without the heart getting trapped,
Will she not give?
Without two bodies clinging,
Will desires not sleep?
கண்ண சுத்தி ஒழிச்ச நூறு கத்தி
முத்தம் வெச்சி முடிச்சா பாலங்கட்டி
உன்ன சுத்தி வரதே வேல வெட்டி
தேனுத்தொட்டி என் மானுக்குட்டி
A hundred knives hidden around the eyes,
A condensed milk sweet wrapped with a kiss,
Wandering around you is my only idle work,
My pot of honey, my little fawn,
அடுத்தென்ன கலவரம் உண்டாகிடுமோ
ஹோ.....
உள்ள அணுக்களில் கலப்படம் என்றாகிடுமோ
கிட்டத்தட்ட காதல் வந்து
உச்சகட்ட போதை தந்து
நெத்தி பொட்டில் முத்தம் வைக்க
நேரம் வந்தாச்சோ
Will a riot happen next?
Hoo..
Will there be an adulteration deep inside the atoms?
Almost love has arrived,
Giving the ultimate high,
To plant a kiss on the forehead,
Has the time come?
ஹே வாடி மொத்தமா
உன்ன கேட்ட குத்தமா
பாத்து பாயும் ரத்தமா
சொந்தத்தோட சந்திப்போமா
Hey come to me completely,
Is it a crime if I ask for you?
Blood rushing in a gaze,
Shall we meet with affection?
ஆத்துறன் தொட்டா வெரல் பட்டா
காத்துல விட்டா ஒரு சிட்டா
பால் பழம் தட்ட ஏறகட்டா
நிலகொழையுது இவ நிழலதான் பாத்தா
The passionate touch of fingers,
A sparrow set free in the wind,
Milk and fruit tray stepped down,
Losing composure just looking at her shadow,
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம் ஹ்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்
தூத்தலா வந்து இறங்கிட்டா
பாத்ததே ஒரு படிக்கட்டா
உயிர் இப்போ மனசு இப்போ தறிகெட்டா
Hmm mm mm hmm mm mm
She descended like a gentle drizzle,
Looking at her was a stepping stone,
My life now, my mind now, gone completely wild,
கண்ண சுத்தி ஒழிச்ச நூறு கத்தி
முத்தம் வெச்சி முடிச்சா பாலங்கட்டி
உன்ன சுத்தி வரதே வேல வெட்டி
தேனுத்தொட்டி என் மானுக்குட்டி

Will she not give?
Without two bodies clinging,
Will desires not sleep?
