Vanthenae chinna chittu vayasu yenguthu
Naan thanthenae vetkam vitu aasa ponguthu
Munnadi vandhaada thaan moochu vaanguthu
Nee munnoru mutham thara
Iravu muzhuvadhum paniyil naniya
Sugamae varumae thinamae kanni manasula nee
Vanthadu kannodu ennodu
Yei vanthenae chinna chittu vayasu yenguthu
Naan thanthenae vetkam vitu aasa ponguthu
Munnadi vandhaada thaan moochu vaanguthu
Nee munnoru mutham thara
Iravu muzhuvadhum paniyil naniya
Sugamae varumae thinamae kanni manasula nee

I have come, a little sparrow, my youth yearns.
I gave in, casting away my shyness, desire overflows!
To come and dance before you leaves me breathless,
For you to give me a sweet kiss,
To be soaked in dew all night long,
Bliss will arrive daily; in this maiden's heart, you remain!
Come and dance with me, eye to eye.
Hey, I have come, a little sparrow, my youth yearns!
I gave in, casting away my shyness, desire overflows!
To come and dance before you leaves me breathless,
For you to give me a sweet kiss,
To be soaked in dew all night long,
Bliss will arrive daily; in this maiden's heart, you remain!
Come and dance with me, eye to eye, hey hey!
...
Teach me a new lesson every day,
Adorn yourself with me, your jasmine,
Gather this brand new blossom,
Hold me close in your sleep!
Rule over me, my king, I am your beautiful rose,
Pinch my cheek gently, my honey-soaked sweet!
For you to love me gently, tenderly, and pleasantly,
Isn't this youth the time for doors to open?
Come dance and frolic with me!
A colorful peacock has come to the doorway,
Shower gold generously!
I, your cousin, am right here,
And you share a part in these playful arts!
As ten fingers intertwine upon the soft bed,
Look left and right, and unite with me!
For you to love me gently, tenderly, and pleasantly,
Bliss gathers speed at that height,
Aha, it is always pure joy, pure heaven!
I have come, a little sparrow, my youth yearns.
I gave in, casting away my shyness, desire overflows!
To come and dance before you leaves me breathless,
For you to give me a sweet kiss,
To be soaked in dew all night long,
Bliss will arrive daily; in this maiden's heart, you remain!
Come and dance with me, eye to eye.
