ஆனந்த வீணை நான் மீட்டும் போது
அமுதூறும் சுகம் ராகமே ஹே…ஹே
When I play the veena of joy,
The melody that flows is sweet like nectar, hae hae.
தேன் சிந்தும் முல்லை செவ்வாயின் ஓரம்
விளையாடும் கலை மோகமே ஹே…ஹே
At the corner of red lips that spill honey like jasmine,

நடை செல்ல செல்ல செல்ல இடை பட்ட பாடு
As the two wander like Kamadeva and Rathi,
Hiding away to shower flower-like eyes,
நடை செல்ல செல்ல செல்ல இடை பட்ட பாடு
அடி எந்தன் கண்ணே கொஞ்சும் தமிழ்ப்பாட்டு பாடு
To celebrate the pleasures that arrive in rapid succession,
To set the rhythm for the song of happiness.
மதனும் ரதியென இருவர் உலாவ
மறைந்திருந்தே சில கண்மலர் தூவ
When I play the veena of joy,
The melody that flows is sweet like nectar, hae hae.
சரம் சரம் என வரும் சுகங்கள் கொண்டாட
சந்தோஷ பாட்டுக்கு தாளங்கள் போட
At the corner of red lips that spill honey like jasmine,
The passion of art plays, hae hae.
ஆனந்த வீணை நான் மீட்டும் போது

அதிசய சுகத்துக்கு அடிக்கல் எடுத்தோம்
அம்மாடி ஆயிரம் பாடங்கள் படித்தோம்
