அடேயப்பா அடேயப்பா
புரிந்ததா ஆசை இப்போது
இவள் மனம் தெரிந்ததும்
பிறந்ததா காதல் இப்போது
மௌனமே என்றும் சம்மதம்
மங்கையே இன்று உன்னிடம்
Oh my! Oh my!
Do you understand the desire now?
Once her heart was understood,
Was love born now?
Silence is always consent,
Oh maiden, today with you!
அடியம்மா அடியம்மா
புரிந்ததா ஆசை இப்போது
இவன் மனம் தெரிந்ததும்
பிறந்ததா காதல் இப்போது
மௌனமே என்றும் சம்மதம்
மன்னனே இன்று உன்னிடம்
Oh dear! Oh dear!
Do you understand the desire now?
Once his heart was understood,
Was love born now?
Silence is always consent,
Oh king, today with you!
ஊடல் பெண்ணின் பாடல்
கண்கள் காதல் வாசல்
உள்ளம் என்னும் ஊஞ்சல்
உள்ளே உந்தன் ஆடல்
A woman's lovers' spat is a song,
Eyes are the gateway to love.
Male: The heart is a swing,
Inside it is your dance.
பூப்போன்ற பெண்மை நாடக மேடை
ஆ.....ஆ....ஆ....
பொல்லாத கண்களிலே ஆயிரம் ஜாடை
ஆஅ...ஆ........ஆ....
என் சிட்டு வெண்பட்டு
பூ மொட்டல்லவா

பூ மொட்டல்லவா
Flower-like womanhood is a drama stage.

Female: A thousand gestures in mischievous eyes.
Aa... aa... aa...
Male: My little bird, soft white silk,
Are you not a flower bud?

Oh my! Oh my!
Do you understand the desire now?
Male: Once her heart was understood,
Was love born now?
அன்னம் சின்ன அன்னம்
அதிலே ரெண்டும் கன்னம்
அங்கே உங்கள் சின்னம்
என்ன வேண்டும் இன்னும்
Swan, little swan,
Upon it are two cheeks.
Female: There lies your mark,
What more do you need?
முத்துக்கள் சிந்து கண்ணே சிப்பி திறந்து
ஆஅ....ஆ.....
முன்னழகு காட்டிவிடு தேவையறிந்து
ஆ....ஆ....ஆ.....ஆ....
Scatter pearls, my dear, opening the shell.
Female: Aaa... aa...
Male: Show your beauty knowing what is needed.
Aa... aa... aa... aa...
