யாரோ ரசிகன் பார்த்தான் சிரித்தான்
கேட்டான் ஒரு கேள்வி
ஆடை மூடும் பாவையின் மேனியில்
பார்த்தான் ஒரு பாதி
அம்மம்மா என்ன சுகமோ
சொல்லத்தான் வெட்கம் வருமோ....
Some admirer looked and smiled
He asked a question
On the body of the maiden covered in clothes
He looked at one half
Oh my, what pleasure it is!
Does shyness come to express it?
யாரோ ரசிகன் பார்த்தான் சிரித்தான்
கேட்டான் ஒரு கேள்வி
ஆடை மூடும் பாவையின் மேனியில்
பார்த்தான் ஒரு பாதி
அம்மம்மா என்ன சுகமோ
சொல்லத்தான் வெட்கம் வருமோ....
Some admirer looked and smiled
He asked a question
On the body of the maiden covered in clothes
He looked at one half
Oh my, what pleasure it is!
Does shyness come to express it?
பூவோ பொன்னோ தொட்டுப் பார்க்கலாம்
வா வா கொஞ்சம் தட்டிப் பார்க்கலாம்
பக்கம் வந்து மெல்ல கிள்ளிப் பார்க்கலாம்
Is it a flower or gold? Let us touch and see
Come, come, let us tap and feel a bit
Come close and let us gently pinch and see
மானோ மீனோ கன்னி ஜாடைகள்
தேனோ பாலோ சொன்ன வார்த்தைகள்
அன்பே என்று என்னை அள்ளினான்
Are the maiden's glances like a deer or a fish?
Are the words spoken like honey or milk?
Calling me 'my love', he embraced me
நானும் கொஞ்சம் துள்ள
நாணம் என்னை வெல்ல
காதல் என்ற பாடம் கண்கள் பேசக் கூடும்....
As I pranced a little in joy
While shyness overcame me
Eyes can speak the lesson called love
யாரோ ரசிகன் பார்த்தான் சிரித்தான்
கேட்டான் ஒரு கேள்வி
ஆடை மூடும் பாவையின் மேனியில்
பார்த்தான் ஒரு பாதி
அம்மம்மா என்ன சுகமோ
சொல்லத்தான் வெட்கம் வருமோ....
Some admirer looked and smiled
He asked a question
On the body of the maiden covered in clothes
He looked at one half
Oh my, what pleasure it is!
Does shyness come to express it?
ரோஜா வண்ணம் கன்னியல்லவா
தேனின் கிண்ணம் கன்னமல்லவா
இன்னும் என்ன தேவை சொல்லலாம்
Is not the maiden rosy in hue?
Is not her cheek a cup of honey?
Tell me, what else is needed?
பாடம் தோறும் பழகிக் கொள்ளலாம்
மேலும் மேலும் தழுவிக் கொள்ளலாம்
சொர்க்கம் என்றே பெண்மை காணலாம்
We can learn with every lesson
We can embrace each other more and more
Womanhood can experience heaven itself
கள்ளில் உள்ள போதை
பெண்ணில் உண்டு வா வா
கண்டால் உள்ள ஏக்கம்
உண்டால் தீரும் வா வா......
The intoxication found in wine
Is present in a woman too, come, come
The yearning that arises upon seeing
Will be quenched upon savoring, come, come...
யாரோ ரசிகன் பார்த்தான் சிரித்தான்
கேட்டான் ஒரு கேள்வி
ஆடை மூடும் பாவையின் மேனியில்
பார்த்தான் ஒரு பாதி
அம்மம்மா என்ன சுகமோ
சொல்லத்தான் வெட்கம் வருமோ....
