வாப்பா குட்டப்பா வஞ்சிக் கொடிய கட்டப்பா
இளம் பிஞ்சப்பா இதக் கொஞ்சப்பா
நீ தொட்ட சுகம்தான் அப்பப்பா
Come on my dear, embrace this vine-like waist!
You are young and tender, cuddle this dear one!
Ah, the bliss when you touch me is indescribable!
வாப்பா குட்டப்பா வஞ்சிக் கொடிய கட்டப்பா....
Come on my dear, embrace this vine-like waist!
பாவாடை என்றொரு அசடப்பா
அவன் பேச்சுல இனிக்கிற அழகப்பா
நான் பாவாடை கட்டியப் பருவத்திலே
என் பூவாடை பிடிச்சு தொட்டான்பா
என்னை பாதியிலே கை விட்டான்பா...
His love is just a short story, my dear!
But his beloved is like an endless serial story, my dear!
அவன் காதல் என்பது சிறுகதையப்பா
அவன் காதலி அவள் ஒரு தொடர்கதையப்பா
Come on my dear, embrace this vine-like waist!
You are young and tender, cuddle this dear one!
Ah, the bliss when you touch me is indescribable!

Here is the lap for you to come and sleep on, my dear!
It is always ready to sing a lullaby for you, my dear!
While I am singing the sweet lullaby,
May you swing gently on a swing of joy, my dear!
Leave a mark of affection on me, my dear!
நீ வந்து தூங்குற மடியப்பா
இது தாலாட்ட எப்பவும் ரெடியப்பா
நான் ஆராரோ பாடும் வேளையிலே
நீ ஆனந்த ஊஞ்சலில் ஆடப்பா
ஒரு அடையாள சின்னத்தை போடப்பா
Others should squirm with envy when they see this, my dear!
Before that happens, I must finish our love story, my dear!
இத அடுத்தவன் பாத்தா துடிக்கணும்பா
நான் அதுக்குள்ளே கதைய முடிக்கணும்பா.......
Come on my dear, embrace this vine-like waist!
You are young and tender, cuddle this dear one!
Ah, the bliss when you touch me is indescribable!
வாப்பா குட்டப்பா வஞ்சிக் கொடிய கட்டப்பா
