விட்ட மூச்சிலே பட்டம் தெறிக்குது
பட்டு பூச்சியோ கண்ணில் பறக்குது
நினைவோ மயங்குது
நெருங்க துடிக்குது டுர்ரா
எதுவோ நடக்குது
இளமை தவிக்குது டுர்ரா டுர்ரா
நினைவோ மயங்குது
நெருங்க துடிக்குது டுர்ரா
எதுவோ நடக்குது
இளமை தவிக்குது டுர்ரா டுர்ரா
The button pops off from the heavy breath taken
Is it a butterfly flying before my eyes?
My thoughts are swooning
Eager to get closer, durraa
Something is happening
Youth is restless, durraa durraa
My thoughts are swooning
Eager to get closer, durraa
Something is happening
Youth is restless, durraa durraa
விட்ட மூச்சிலே பட்டம் தெறிக்குது
பட்டு பூச்சியோ கண்ணில் பறக்குது
The button pops off from the heavy breath taken
Is it a butterfly flying before my eyes?
ராப்போது ராசாத்தி என்னை
தாலாட்டு பொன் மார்பிலே
At night, princess, lull me
On your golden chest
நீ வந்து நாள்தோறும் என்னை
நீராட்டு பன்னீரிலே
You come every day and
Bathe me in rose water
நீ ஜாக்கெட் போட்ட
ஹல்வா துண்டா
ஓ ராக்கெட் வேகம் உன்னை கண்டா
Are you a piece of halwa
Wearing a jacket?
Oh, rocket speed comes seeing you!
நீ தாகம் தீர்க்கும்
பன்னீர் சோடா
ஓர் போதை ஏற்றும் ஜர்தா பீடா
Are you rose soda
That quenches thirst?
Or an intoxicating zarda betel leaf?
ஆட்டம் போடு இடை கோர்த்து
Dance holding waists together
கூட்டம் கூடும் நமை பார்த்து
A crowd will gather watching us
கேள்வி கேட்க யாரு
Who is there to question us?
விட்ட மூச்சிலே பட்டம் தெறிக்குது
பட்டு பூச்சியோ கண்ணில் பறக்குது
நினைவோ மயங்குது
நெருங்க துடிக்குது டுர்ரா
எதுவோ நடக்குது
இளமை தவிக்குது டுர்ரா டுர்ரா

Eager to get closer, durraa
Something is happening
Youth is restless, durraa durraa
My thoughts are swooning
Eager to get closer, durraa
Something is happening
Youth is restless, durraa durraa
விட்ட மூச்சிலே பட்டம் தெறிக்குது
பட்டு பூச்சியோ கண்ணில் பறக்குது
The button pops off from the heavy breath taken
Is it a butterfly flying before my eyes?
மாமாவே உன் நெஞ்சம்தானே
நான் ஆடும் பொன் ஊஞ்சலே
Uncle, your heart is indeed
The golden swing I sway upon
மைனாவே என் மஞ்சள் பூவே
நான் சூடும் பொன்னாரமே
Myna bird, my yellow flower
The golden garland I adorn
ஓர் ஆசை வந்து என்னை கொள்ள
உன் தோளில் கிள்ளை தொத்தி கொள்ள
When a desire comes and overwhelms me
A parrot perches upon your shoulder
உன் பார்வை கூறும் கட்டில் பாடம்
நீ மாலை நேர பள்ளிக்கூடம்
Your glance teaches bedroom lessons
You are an evening school
வா வா எங்கும் உலா போவோம்
Come, come, let us wander everywhere
போனால் எங்கும் விழா கோலம்
Wherever we go, it becomes a festive scene
காலம் நல்ல காலம்
This time is a good time
விட்ட மூச்சிலே பட்டம் தெறிக்குது
பட்டு பூச்சியோ கண்ணில் பறக்குது
நினைவோ மயங்குது
நெருங்க துடிக்குது டுர்ரா
எதுவோ நடக்குது
இளமை தவிக்குது டுர்ரா டுர்ரா
நினைவோ மயங்குது
நெருங்க துடிக்குது டுர்ரா
எதுவோ நடக்குது
இளமை தவிக்குது டுர்ரா டுர்ரா
