ஆளான நாளா...
ஆளான நாளா கண்ணு ரெண்டும்
ஆலோலம் பாடும் உன்னக் கண்டு
நித்தம் நித்தம் உன் சொப்பனமே
நெஞ்சம் என்றும் உன் அர்ப்பணமே
நித்தம் நித்தம் உன் சொப்பனமே
நெஞ்சம் என்றும் உன் அர்ப்பணமே
Ever since coming of age,
Ever since you came of age, both my eyes
Sing a song of joy upon seeing you.
Every day is filled with dreams of you,
My heart is forever dedicated to you.
Every day is filled with dreams of you,
My heart is forever dedicated to you.
அடி ஆளான....
நீ ஆளான நாளா கண்ணு ரெண்டும்
ஆலோலம் பாடும் உன்னக் கண்டு
அத்தப் பெத்த என் சித்திரமே
கிட்டே வந்து நீ முத்தமிடேன்
அத்தப் பெத்த என் சித்திரமே
கிட்டே வந்து நீ முத்தமிடேன்
Hey, ever since coming of age,
Ever since you came of age, both my eyes
Sing a song of joy upon seeing you.
My picture-perfect girl born to my aunt,
Come close and give me a kiss.
My picture-perfect girl born to my aunt,
Come close and give me a kiss.
வாமான்னதும் என்ன மாமான்னுதான்
சிறு மாம்பூவா மைனாவா நீ கொஞ்சனும்
ஆகாதய்யா இப்பக் கூடாதய்யா
கட்டில் ஆட்டங்கள் நீ போட நாள் பார்க்கணும்
Once I become your husband, calling me uncle,
You should cuddle me like a tiny mango flower or a maina bird.
Female: Oh no sir, not right now sir,
You must wait for an auspicious day for marital bliss.
நீ கண்ணு ரெண்டில் அம்பு விட்டு
எனைத் தாக்குறே
நீ கொஞ்சம் விட்டா மொத்தத்துக்கும்
இடம் கேக்குறே
By shooting arrows with both your eyes,
You attack me.
Female: If given a little space, for everything
You demand room.
என் தேவி தேகம் தேவலோகம்
வந்தா ஏன்தான் தாள் போடுறே
My divine body is like heaven,
Why do you keep tapping your feet when you arrive?
அட ஆளான நாளா கண்ணு ரெண்டும்
ஆலோலம் பாடும் உன்னக் கண்டு
அத்தப் பெத்த என் சித்திரமே
கிட்டே வந்து நீ முத்தமிடேன்
Hey, ever since you came of age, both my eyes
Sing a song of joy upon seeing you.
Male: My picture-perfect girl born to my aunt,
Come close and give me a kiss.
பொல்லாதது அச்சம் இல்லாதது
இந்த ஆண் பார்வை எப்போதும் தப்பானது
பூவாடுது ரெண்டு காயாடுது
அதப் பார்த்தாலே ஆத்தாடி சூடேறுது
Wicked and fearless,
This male gaze is always mischievous.
Male: The flower sways and two unripened fruits sway,
Just looking at them, oh my, the heat rises!
நீ எப்பவுமே இப்படித்தான் வல வீசுறே
நீ அப்பவும்தான் எட்டி நின்னு கதப் பேசுறே
ஆடைப் போட்டு மூடினாலும்
வீணா ஏன்தான் போராடுறே
You always cast a net like this.
Male: Even back then, you stood at a distance and talked stories.
Female: Even when covered with clothes,
Why do you unnecessarily fight with me?
நீ ஆளான நாளா கண்ணு ரெண்டும்
ஆலோலம் பாடும் உன்னக் கண்டு
நித்தம் நித்தம் உன் சொப்பனமே
நெஞ்சம் என்றும் உன் அர்ப்பணமே
அத்தப் பெத்த என் சித்திரமே
கிட்டே வந்து நீ முத்தமிடேன்.....
Ever since you came of age, both my eyes
Sing a song of joy upon seeing you.

My heart is forever dedicated to you.
