Kaal…..muzhangaal…..araikkaal…..mukkaal
Muzhangaal muzhangaal mukkaal
Kai kai kai valakkai idakkai udukkai
Uduppu anivathu iduppu
Samaippathu aduppu thevai neruppu padagu thuduppu
Panju poom malar anjum vannamigu
Kanja melladigal aadavae
Kaanthal menmalargal kaiviralgal thamai
Kandu kaadu vazhi odavae
Konda thiraatchaiyathu konji vanthu
Vizhi thangi nindrapadi izhaiyodum asaiyuthu
Adhiloru malaranai kenjuthu
Aadivaa azhagu rani

Kambanin seedhai mithilaiyil nindru
Kannodu kanninai kalanthana endru
Semmani thamizhil seppiyathundu

Leg... knee... one-eighth... three-quarters...
Knee... knee... three-quarters...
Hand, hand, hand, right hand, left hand, an hourglass drum,
Clothes are worn around the waist,
Cooking needs a stove, fire is needed, and a boat needs an oar!
As the colorful, lotus-soft feet
That make even cotton flowers shy, dance,
And seeing your delicate fingers,
The wild flame-lilies flee into the forest,
Your grape-like eyes flirt playfully,
Resting their gaze, swaying in gentle rhythm,
And in them, a bed of flowers pleads.
Come dance, beautiful queen!
Come dance, beautiful queen!
I will sing in a brand-new style!
Where is talent? It will be seen right here!
Where is talent? It will be seen right here!
Come dance, beautiful queen!
Temple sculptures climbing the tower,
Sweet fruits soaking in pure honey,
Temple sculptures climbing the tower,
Sweet fruits soaking in pure honey,
Transforming into a woman who offers love,
Transforming into a woman who offers love,
As if ripe sweetness and pure joy have blended together,
Come dance, beautiful queen!
I will sing in a brand-new style!
Kamban's Sita standing in Mithila,
When their eyes locked and became one,
Was told in precious, ruby-like Tamil verses;
Holding that Sita in your mind,
Millions of banana trees have lost to the beauty of your legs,
With shapely beauty, your waist sways like a treasure chest,
Millions of banana trees have lost to the beauty of your legs,
With shapely beauty, your waist sways like a treasure chest,
Come, you graceful drum draped in silk,
Come, you graceful drum draped in silk,
Gently calling out to me, seeking something wonderful,
Come dance, beautiful queen!
I will sing in a brand-new style!
As the trees sway and the wide earth dances,
As flocks of peacocks dance, dance on!
As clouds dance along with the rain,
As thunder sings hymns of praise, dance on!
Like flying arrows, like the strikes of a storm,
Like ocean waves, dance on!
Spinning your matchless body,
Mingle in harmony with Tamil music!
Dance to the rhythm of 'thantha-ithom',
Dance as if saying, 'we have met!'
Dance to the beat of 'thanthom-thom',
Dance saying, 'we have brought sweet delight!'
Leap to the rhythm of 'thithithaa',
Say, 'take me in your embrace!'
Say, 'taste the sweetness!'
Dance saying, 'we have shared sweetness!'
Come close saying, 'lips will taste sweet!'
Dance before the crowd, dance in the heart,
Dance in feelings, dance in intimacy,
So everyone says, 'this is truly delicious nectar,'
Leap up, sing to the music, and dance on!
