Na Puthusa Porandhu VandhaI am a freshly born,
ManthirapettiMysterious magic box.

Sandhana KattiBlock of sandalwood.

Attaiya Pola OttikkavaShall I stick tight like a leech?
Gummunu Irukkum Gulpi Ice LaInto the firm and tempting ‘Kulfi’ ice,
Kuchiya Pola KuthikkavaShall I slide in like a stick?
Chikkunu Irukkura En IduppulaOn my hip that is sleek and curvy,
Attaiya Pola OttikkiromWe’ll cling together like a leech.
