ஆரம்பம் ஆகட்டும் ஆராதனம்
ஆனந்தம் தானிங்கு ஆலிங்கனம்
Let the worship begin.
Here, bliss itself is the embrace.
ஆரம்பம் ஆகட்டும் ஆராதனம்
ஆனந்தம் தானிங்கு ஆலிங்கனம்
காலகாலங்கள் நான் கேட்டது
காதல் கைக்கூடும் நாள் வந்தது
Let the worship begin.
Here, bliss itself is the embrace.
What I asked for across ages,
The day love comes together has arrived.
மணக்கும் தாழம்பூவை நாகம் கண்டது
மயக்கும் வாசம் வீச வேகம் கொண்டது
ஆரம்பம் ஆகட்டும் ஆராதனம்
ஆனந்தம் தானிங்கு ஆலிங்கனம்
The serpent found the fragrant screw-pine flower.
As the sweet spell spread its fragrance, it gained speed.
Let the worship begin.
Here, bliss itself is the embrace.
எனை மறந்தே நான்
இதுவரை வாழ்ந்தேன்
துணை வர பார்த்து
மடியினில் வீழ்ந்தேன்
Forgetting myself,
I lived until now.
Watching for my companion to arrive,
I fell onto your lap.
இதற்கென தானே
தவம் இருந்தேனே
அனல் மெழுகாக தவித்தவள் நானே
For this very moment,
I performed penance.
I suffered like wax placed on fire.
வாழ்வது அன்பே உன் ஞாபகம்
பெண் : ஈருயிர் ஒன்றான ஜாதகம்
ஆண் : நிலைக்கும் தேவன் தேவி
ஜீவ சங்கமம்
My beloved, living is memories of you.
A horoscope where two lives become one.
Eternal god and goddess,
The confluence of souls.
ஆரம்பம் ஆகட்டும் ஆராதனம்
ஆனந்தம் தானிந்த ஆலிங்கனம்
காலகாலங்கள் நான் கேட்டது
காதல் கைக்கூடும் நாள் வந்தது
Let the worship begin.
Here, bliss itself is the embrace.
What I asked for across ages,
The day love comes together has arrived.
மணக்கும் தாழம்பூவை நாகம் கண்டது

Here, bliss itself is the embrace.
கருடனை பார்த்து
கலங்கிய நாகம்
படித்தது நேற்று ஒருதலை ராகம்
Looking at the eagle,
The troubled serpent,
Sang a one-sided song yesterday.
தலைவியின் வார்த்தை
மகுடியின் நாதம்
மனமதை கேட்டு படமெடுத்தாடும்
The beloved woman's words,
Are like the music of the pungi pipe.
Hearing it, the mind spreads its hood and dances.
போனது பொல்லாத நாட்களே
பூத்தது சந்தோஷ பூக்களே
இழந்த ராஜயோகம்
மீண்டும் வந்தது
Gone are the evil days!
Flowers of happiness have bloomed!
The lost royal fortune,
Has returned once again!
ஆரம்பம் ஆகட்டும் ஆராதனம்
ஆனந்தம் தானிந்த ஆலிங்கனம்
ஹா காலகாலங்கள் நான் கேட்டது
காதல் கைக்கூடும் நாள் வந்தது
Let the worship begin.
Here, bliss itself is the embrace.
Aha, what I asked for across ages,
The day love comes together has arrived.
மணக்கும் தாழம்பூவை
நாகம் கண்டது
மயக்கும் வாசம் வீச
வேகம் கொண்டது
The fragrant screw-pine flower,
The serpent found.
As the sweet spell spreads its fragrance,
It gained speed.
