யாருக்கு டிமிக்கி கொடுக்கப் பாக்குற
எங்கே ஓடுற சொல்லு............
யாருக்கு டிமிக்கி கொடுக்கப் பாக்குற
எங்கே ஓடுற சொல்லு............
Whom are you trying to trick?
Tell me, where are you running off to?
Whom are you trying to trick?
Tell me, where are you running off to?
சூட்சும கயிறு என்னிடம் இருக்கு
சும்மா எழுந்தே நில்லு ...ஓஓஓஓஓஒ
பாச்சா ஒண்ணும் பலிக்காதிங்கே பேகம்
I hold the subtle control string in my hand.
Just stand right there and stay put... ooooooo...
None of your tricks will work here, Begum!
காட்டுப் பூனை போல் முழிக்கிற
திருட்டு பெண்ணே
காசைக் கொட்டி நான்
வாங்கி இருக்கிறேன் கண்ணே
கன்னிப் பொண்ணு நீயே கட்டழகன் நானே
உன்னை இப்போ விட்டு விடுவேனோ
Staring wide-eyed like a wild cat,
Oh thief woman,
By spending money, I
Have bought you, my dear!
You are a lovely maiden and I am a handsome man,
Will I let you go now?
சூட்சும கயிறு என்னிடம் இருக்கு
சும்மா எழுந்தே நில்லு ...ஓஓஓஓ....ஓஒ....
I hold the subtle control string in my hand.
Just stand right there and stay put... ooooooo...
பாச்சா ஒண்ணும் பலிக்காதிங்கே பேகம்
யாருக்கு டிமிக்கி கொடுக்கப் பாக்குற
எங்கே ஓடுற சொல்லு...........
None of your tricks will work here, Begum!
Whom are you trying to trick?
Tell me, where are you running off to?
இதுவரை இன்மனம் இருக்கு எனக்கு
அதிலே தனி இடம் தருவேன் பீவி உனக்கு
அதிசயம் எதுக்கு ஆத்திரம் எதுக்கு
இது ரொம்ப சகஜம் எனக்கு......
Until now, I have kept a sweet heart with me,
In it, I will grant a special place for you, my Beevi.
Why wonder about it? Why be so hasty?
All this is very natural and easy for me.
சூட்சும கயிறு என்னிடம் இருக்கு

None of your tricks will work here, Begum!
Whom are you trying to trick?
Tell me, where are you running off to?
தாடிய பாத்து தயங்குது உனது மனசு
நாடிய தொட்டுப் பாரு தெரியும் என் வயசு
ஓட எண்ணாதே மோடி பண்ணாதே
இருந்தா உனக்கு சொகுசு...
Your heart hesitates looking at my beard,
Touch and check my pulse, you will realize my true age!
Don't try to escape, don't play hard to get,
If you stay with me, it will be pure luxury for you...

He playfully mock-scolds her, advising her that none of her feminine charms or deceptive tricks ('dimikki', 'paachchaa') will work on him because he holds the ultimate control over the situation.
