No one is at home, my dear.
Come on, let us go on a hunt of youthfulness!
It has been four or five weeks since I slept properly,
Sleep itself has completely abandoned me.
வீட்டுல யாருமில்ல மாமா
வாலிப வேட்டையாட வாம்மா
நாலஞ்சு வாரமாச்சு தூங்கி
தூக்கம்தான் போச்சு என்னை நீங்கி
Shut the front door, pick the right moment,
I will drape myself in a blanket,
Change your clothes...
வாசல சாத்து நீ நேரம் பாத்து
போர்வை நான் போத்திக்கோ
ஆடை மாத்து....
No one is at home, my dear.
Come on, let us go on a hunt of youthfulness!
Come on!
வீட்டுல யாருமில்ல மாமா
வாலிப வேட்டையாட வாம்மா.....
வாம்மா....
Chiseled perfectly by the divine power of the South,
is your magnificent physique.
Understanding my needs without even asking,
come to my aid.
தேக்கால தேவன் கடைஞ்ச
ஒடம்பு உனக்கு
கேக்காம தேவை தெரிஞ்சு
உதவு எனக்கு
Whenever the fragrance of a man wafts in,
desire boils up inside me.
Oh my, control and tame
the pride of my burning passion by embracing me!
ஆண் வாடை வீசும் பொழுது
கொதிச்சு கெடக்கு
ஆத்தாடி ஆசை திமிர
அணைச்சு அடக்கு
Pour water so this chariot thrives,
protect it without letting it wither, my king!
To unite with your shoulders and get warmed,
I yearned every single day.
தேர் வாழ நீரூற்று
வாடாம காப்பாத்து ராசா
உன் தோள் சேர சூடேற
நாளும் ஏங்கினேன்
No one is at home, my dear.
Come on, let us go on a hunt of youthfulness!
Come on!
வீட்டுல யாருமில்ல மாமா
வாலிப வேட்டையாட வாம்மா.....
வாம்மா....
Whoever smuggles whatever,
you know about that.
Oh king, to kidnap you,
I know how to do that.
யார் யாரோ ஏதோ கடத்த
உனக்கு தெரியும்
ராசாவே உன்னக் கடத்த
எனக்கு தெரியும்
As time passes,
you will understand the full story.
I will remain right beside you without leaving,
all the way until dawn.
நேரங்கள் போனா உனக்கு
விவரம் புரியும்
நீங்காமல் நானும் இருப்பேன்
விடியும் வரைக்கும்
You are indeed the officer in power (adhikari),
and I am the perfect match for you, my king!
As per my thoughts,
according to my wish,
I shall issue my orders.
நீதானே அதிகாரி
நான்தானே சரி ஜோடி ராசா
என் எண்ணம் போல்
இஷ்டம் போல்
ஆணைப் போடுவேன்
No one is at home, my dear.
Come on, let us go on a hunt of youthfulness!
It has been four or five weeks since I slept properly,
Sleep itself has completely abandoned me.
வீட்டுல யாருமில்ல மாமா
