வா வா நீ வா நிலா
நாம் போவோம் காதல் உலா
வா வா நீ வா நிலா
நாம் போவோம் காதல் உலா
Come, come, you come, oh moon
Let us go on a romantic stroll
Come, come, you come, oh moon
Let us go on a romantic stroll
காற்றும் பூவும் கொஞ்சும் அந்தி வேளை
நானும் நீயும் சந்திப்போமா நாளை
Dusk time when the wind and flowers embrace
Shall you and I meet tomorrow?
வா வா நீ வா நிலா
நாம் போவோம் காதல் உலா......
Come, come, you come, oh moon

{ஆப்பம் நான் வெள்ளை ஆப்பம் நான்
பக்கம் வாய்யா பாயா நீதானய்யா
மோப்பம் ஏன் இன்னும் மோப்பம் ஏன்
பசி ஏப்பம் தீரும் நாள்தானய்யா} (2)
I am appam, I am white appam
Place the paaya curry beside it, you are the one
Why still sniff around? Why the sniffing?
Today is the day hunger and satisfaction are fulfilled
கருவாட்டு கொழம்போடு கல் தோசைதான்
உறவாட வரும் அல்லவா.....ஆஅ.....
ஒரு வாட்டி உனைத் தீண்ட அம்மாடியோ
ஒரு கோடி சுகமல்லவா......ஆஆ...
I am appam, I am white appam
Place the paaya curry beside it, you are the one
Why still sniff around? Why the sniffing?
Today is the day hunger and satisfaction are fulfilled
ஆப்பம் நான் வெள்ளை ஆப்பம் நான்
பக்கம் வாய்யா பாயா நீதானய்யா
Thick dosa along with dried fish curry
Will come together to mingle, won't it?
வா வா நீ வா நிலா
நாம் போவோம் காதல் உலா
Oh my, touching you just once
Isn't it ten million blissful moments?
காற்றும் பூவும் கொஞ்சும் அந்தி வேளை
நானும் நீயும் சந்திப்போமா நாளை
I am appam, I am white appam
Place the paaya curry beside it, you are the one
வா வா நீ வா நிலா

{ஈனா மூனா கானா நானும் நீயும் ஆனா
அட்டப் போல ஒட்டிக்கணும் தானா
ஈனா மீனா டீக்கா நானும் நீயும் ஷோக்கா
தொட்டுத் தாலிக் கட்டிக்கணும் நேக்கா} (2)
A, B, C, D... when you and I become united
We must stick together like a leech, naturally
உன்னோடு பின்னோடு வந்தேன் நானடி
பொண்டாட்டி ரெண்டாச்சு உன்னால்தானடி
Eena meena teeka... when you and I are mesmerized
Touch and tie the sacred thread smoothly
A, B, C, D... when you and I become united
We must stick together like a leech, naturally
ஈனா மூனா கானா நானும் நீயும் ஆனா
அட்டப் போல ஒட்டிக்கணும் தானா
ஈனா மீனா டீக்கா நானும் நீயும் ஷோக்கா
தொட்டுத் தாலிக் கட்டிக்கணும் நேக்கா
Eena meena teeka... when you and I are mesmerized
Touch and tie the sacred thread smoothly
வா வா நீ வா நிலா
நாம் போவோம் காதல் உலா
I came following right behind you, my girl
Because of you, I now have two wives, my girl
காற்றும் பூவும் கொஞ்சும் அந்தி வேளை

A, B, C, D... when you and I become united
We must stick together like a leech, naturally
