Opening her mouth and parting her red lips
Elegantly veiling herself like an oil lamp bud
Attracting the complete attention of poets and artists
Revealing brand new shades of emotion upon her face
ஆடி ஆடி அசைந்தாள்.....
As she danced and swayingly moved...

With a gem-studded pendant shining on her chest
As the humming of honey bees echoes in various melodic tunes

மணி இழைத்த பதக்கம் மார்பினிலே துலங்க
மது வண்டின் ரீங்காரம் விதவிதமாய் முழங்க
தணியாத காதலினால் முகம் மலர்ந்து விளங்க
தாமரைப் பெண்ணழகி ஒரு காலால் இடை குலுங்க
With a gem-studded pendant shining on her chest
As the humming of honey bees echoes in various melodic tunes
With her face glowing bright from a unique love
The lotus-like beauty sways her waist balancing on one foot
ஆடி ஆடி அசைந்தாள்
