The sway of your beautiful waist ornament is an art in itself,
Your body itself is a mridangam (drum)...
Various rhythms,
Sounds that bring sweet delight—
Isn't it bliss to practice them?
The graceful beauty dances with expression,
She fans the fire of my desire.
Is your slender waist the Middle
Sangam (ancient Tamil literary assembly)?
Did the sweet rhythm of Tamil
flow from your ankle bells?

The gift of youth, the sweet Mohanam raga in music—
aren't you all of those?
Aah... aah... aa...
In all literature overflowing with poetic grace,
aren't you the creative imagination?
