வாய்க்கா வரப்புக்குள்ள சேல மறப்புக்குள்ள
மச்சானக் கட்டிப் போட்டேன்
ஒன்னு வைக்காம விடமாட்டேன்
Inside the canal bunds, hidden within the saree,
I have tied up my beloved groom,
I won't let go without leaving a kiss.
வாய்க்கா வரப்புக்குள்ள சேல மறப்புக்குள்ள
மச்சானக் கட்டிப் போட்டேன்
ஒன்னு வைக்காம விடமாட்டேன்
Inside the canal bunds, hidden within the saree,
I have tied up my beloved groom,
I won't let go without leaving a kiss.
பஞ்சு மெத்தப் போல் பச்ச நெல்லு
அந்த வித்தைய கொஞ்சம் சொல்லு
துள்ளிச்சா துள்ளிச்சா செவ்வாழ மீனு
Green paddy soft like a cotton mattress,
Teach me a bit of that secret skill,
A red banana fish splashing and leaping.
வாய்க்கா வரப்புக்குள்ள சேல மறப்புக்குள்ள
மச்சானக் கட்டிப் போட்டேன்
ஒன்னு வைக்காம விடமாட்டேன்
Inside the canal bunds, hidden within the saree,
I have tied up my beloved groom,
I won't let go without leaving a kiss.
பஞ்சு மெத்தப் போல் பச்ச நெல்லு
அந்த வித்தைய கொஞ்சம் சொல்லு
துள்ளிச்சா துள்ளிச்சா செவ்வாழ மீனு
Green paddy soft like a cotton mattress,
Teach me a bit of that secret skill,
A red banana fish splashing and leaping.
வாய்க்கா வரப்புக்குள்ள சேல மறப்புக்குள்ள
மச்சானக் கட்டிப் போட்டேன்
ஒன்னு வைக்காம விடமாட்டேன்
Inside the canal bunds, hidden within the saree,
I have tied up my beloved groom,
I won't let go without leaving a kiss.
செவ்வாழை ரெண்டு சீராடிக் கொண்டு
இங்கேயும் அங்கேயும் துள்ளலாமா
பூவாடக் காத்து இந்நேரம் பாத்து
அங்கேயும் இங்கேயும் கிள்ளலாமா
Can two red banana fruits play together lovingly,
And leap here and there?
Female: Seeing the opportune time, the flower-scented breeze,
Can it pinch and tease here and there?
அதுக்கும் கூட உம்மேலே
அணைக்கும் ஆசை என் போல
அதுக்கும் கூட உம்மேலே
அணைக்கும் ஆசை என் போல
Even to that breeze, towards you,
It has the same desire to embrace as I do.
Even to that breeze, towards you,
It has the same desire to embrace as I do.
அங்க தொட்டு இங்க தொட்டு
என் ஆசைகளை பொங்கவிட்டு
அங்க தொட்டு இங்க தொட்டு
என் ஆசைகளை பொங்கவிட்டு
சொல்லாம போச்சு பொல்லாத காற்று
Touching here and touching there,
Making my desires overflow,
Touching here and touching there,
Making my desires overflow,
The wicked wind passed by without even speaking!
வாய்க்கா வரப்புக்குள்ள சேல மறப்புக்குள்ள
மச்சானக் கட்டிப் போட்டேன்
ஒன்னு வைக்காம விடமாட்டேன்
Inside the canal bunds, hidden within the saree,
I have tied up my beloved groom,
I won't let go without leaving a kiss.
பஞ்சு மெத்தப் போல் பச்ச நெல்லு

ஆண் : துள்ளிச்சா துள்ளிச்சா செவ்வாழ மீனு
Green paddy soft like a cotton mattress,
Teach me a bit of that secret skill,
A red banana fish splashing and leaping.
வாய்க்கா வரப்புக்குள்ள சேல மறப்புக்குள்ள
மச்சானக் கட்டிப் போட்டேன்
ஒன்னு வைக்காம விடமாட்டேன்....
Inside the canal bunds, hidden within the saree,
I have tied up my beloved groom,
I won't let go without leaving a kiss.
கையோட சேர்த்து மார்போட சாய்ச்சு
கட்டினால் கொட்டுது இன்ப மேளம்
மாராப்பு சேல மச்சானின் மேலே
முட்டினால் சுத்துது அந்த நேரம்
Joining hands and leaning against the chest,
When embraced, beat the drums of joy!
Male: The saree pallu falling over the groom,
When it bumps, everything spins in that moment.
சிரிச்சே ஆள வாட்டாதே மனசில் தீயை மூட்டாதே
சிரிச்சே ஆள வாட்டாதே மனசில் தீயை மூட்டாதே
பத்து விரல் அச்சடிக்க வாய் முத்தமின்னு உச்சரிக்க
பத்து விரல் அச்சடிக்க வாய் முத்தமின்னு உச்சரிக்க
நானூறு தாரேன் தாலாட்ட வாரேன்
You torment me with your smile, don't kindle a fire in my heart!
You torment me with your smile, don't kindle a fire in my heart!
Male: As ten fingers leave their impression, as the mouth utters kisses,
As ten fingers leave their impression, as the mouth utters kisses,
I will give four hundred, I will come to sing a lullaby!
வாய்க்கா வரப்புக்குள்ள சேல மறப்புக்குள்ள
மச்சானக் கட்டிப் போட்டேன்
ஒன்னு வைக்காம விடமாட்டேன்
Inside the canal bunds, hidden within the saree,
I have tied up my beloved groom,
I won't let go without leaving a kiss.
பஞ்சு மெத்தப் போல் பச்ச நெல்லு

துள்ளிச்சா துள்ளிச்சா செவ்வாழ மீனு
Green paddy soft like a cotton mattress,
Teach me a bit of that secret skill,
Female: A red banana fish splashing and leaping!
வாய்க்கா வரப்புக்குள்ள சேல மறப்புக்குள்ள
மச்சானக் கட்டிப் போட்டேன்
