Since you gave the advance deposit
My playful mischief has matured
When joined gently, touching again and again
This little bird will enjoy comfortably
என் செல்லக்குட்டி என் வெல்லக்கட்டி
என் தங்கக்கட்டி நீ சிங்கக்குட்டி

அரங்கேற்று புது கணக்கு
மோகம் மோகம் நெஞ்சில் வர
தாகம் தாகம் உன்ன தொட
Keep it, keep it
Female : I will keep it, I will keep it
பூபாளம் வந்து காதோரம் கிள்ள
பூவாரம் மெல்ல தேவாரம் சொல்ல

You laughed like sweet wine, while I suffered deep inside
At the time when the unseen body leaps like fire
Male : Why do research into this?
A new equation is taking center stage
As passion rises in the heart
Thirst rises to touch you
வச்சுக்கோடி வச்சுக்கோடி
