Female: Ummm...
Lē Lē Lē Lē (Vocalizations)

Male: Come here, my "Deserted Egg" (Poṭṭaḷa Muṭṭāyē),
My little jewel chest (Raṭṭiṉa Koṭṭāyē).
He placed (his claim) on your Kumkum dot (Kuṅkumam Poṭṭa Mēla Vachchāyē).

Meaning: He uses highly unusual, rustic, but affectionate terms for her. He signifies ownership and intimacy
by saying he has placed his mark on her forehead spot.

Female: Come here, my Lunar Brother-in-Law (Ambuli Machchaane),
He stitched me with an arrow (Ambuḷa Thaichchāne).
He embraced me (Kaṭṭip Puḍichchi) and put me to sleep (Thūṅga Vachchāne).

Meaning: She returns the affection, using a common term for a loved one. She confesses he has emotionally pierced her
(Cupid's arrow) and has provided her with deep comfort and intimacy.

Male: I haven't seen anyone like you (Unnāṭṭam) in the town,
And no one has showered love (Vaari Thandhadhumilla) like this eye (Kaññāṭṭam).

Female: No one has paired up (Jōḍi Kaṭṭunadhilla) like you,
There are crores of moons (Kōḍi Chandiran Uṇḍu),
until midnight turns to dawn (Nalliravu Viḍiyum Maṭṭum).

Meaning: Both assert that their connection is uniquely powerful and matchless. The woman uses the imagery of the moon
(a symbol of romance) but says their love is superior to all standard notions of romance.

Male: I plead (Keñjurane),
You come close and overcome me (Miñjuraṉe).
I touch and cuddle you (Koñjuraṉe),
But you walk away from me (Ennai Viṭṭu Vilagi Pōguraṉe).

Meaning: He describes the playful, back-and-forth dynamic of their relationship: he is begging for closeness and affection,
but she keeps him tantalizingly at a distance.

Male: Oh, how many beauty spots (Machcham)?
We searched and put our stamp/seal (Vachchōm).
Don't you understand (Puriyādhā Puriyādhā)
the noise the desire makes (Aasai Katthura Saththam)?

Meaning: He refers to their intimate moments (finding and marking beauty spots) and asks why she ignores his intense, shouted desire.

Female: The stone that keeps covering (Mūḍi Vaikkira Kallum),
The words that keep distance (Thūram Vaikkira Sollum),
Tell me to leap and embrace (Thaavi Aḷḷikka Sollum).
Don't you even know this?

Meaning: She admits that while her actions (covering herself) and words (keeping distance) might push him away, her true inner feeling
is urging her to jump and hug him, implying her reluctance is just a tease.

Female: Go on and dance (Aaduyā)!

Male: Humming

Male: The betel leaf vine (Vetthala Kodi) that has grown ripe is mine,
The jute firecracker (Sanalu Veḍi) that has bent is mine.
I got hit by one eye (Thōṭṭā Oru Kaṇṇāla),
I got lost because of one girl (Tholañjēn Oru Poṇṇāla).
She came to spread a net (Valai Virichchuḍa Vandhāḷē)
nicely/conveniently by this trouble (Vāgā Indha Vambāḷa).

Meaning: He uses metaphors related to agriculture and firecrackers for her body. He attributes his downfall to her eye (gaze)
and acknowledges that she intentionally set a trap (Valai Virichchuḍa) for him in a playful, teasing manner.

Female: The teak wood (Thēkku) that was grown after careful attention is you,
The style of your strong body (Paṭṭa Oḍambu Sōkku).
The mischievous nose (Kuṟumbu Mūkku) that keeps poking me (Kuṭthum),
Give me some rest and then attack (Oivva Kuḍuththu Thākkū Yei)!

Meaning: She praises his strength and physique (Teak wood), but also notes his playful, constant pokes (curumbu mookku). She urges him
to take a break before resuming his affectionate attacks.

You are safe here (Batthiramē).
Tell me how many commands (Kaṭṭaḷai Eththanai)?
I will carry them out (Nāṉ Seivēṉē).

Meaning: He expresses awe at her beauty and reassures her of her safety with him. He pledges complete obedience to her wishes.

Female: My beloved treasure box (Anbuḷḷa Peṭṭagamē),
My residing building (Thaṅgura Kaṭṭaḍamē).
My blood (Raththamē), my kiss (Muththamē),
The boon granted by God (Sāmiyē Koṭṭuṉa Varam).

Meaning: She returns his devotion with declarations of profound love, calling him her essence, her home, and a divine blessing.

Both: I stammer/stutter (Thikkuraṉe) seeing you,
I sell myself (Vikkuraṉe).
I get caught in mischief (Sēṭṭaiyila Sikkuraṉe),
I float away a little (Medhundhu Pōguraṉe).

Both: I plead,
You come close and overcome me.
I touch and cuddle you,
But you walk away from me.

Male: Even though I carry you (Sumandhālum) entirely in my heart,
The burden has not come (Bāram Vandhadhilla).
What is this magic (Māyam)?

Meaning: He concludes by stating that carrying her love is effortless, a magical feeling.

Both: I plead,
You come close and overcome me.
I touch and cuddle you,
But you walk away from me.
