அடி கான கருங்குயிலே
கச்சேரி வைக்க போறேன்
உன்ன கணக்காக சேர்த்து வெச்சு
கைராசி பாக்க போறேன்
Oh wild black cuckoo
I am going to host a concert
Bringing you together properly
I am going to test my lucky touch
இனி மனசெல்லாம்
மத்தாப்பு போல
மலராக தூவும்அம்மா
இனி வருங்காலம்
துன்பங்கள் நீங்கி
மலர்மாலை போடும்அம்மா
From now on, the whole heart
Like sparklers
Will shower like flowers, my dear
In the coming times, troubles will vanish
And garland you with flowers, my dear
அடி கான கருங்குயிலே
கச்சேரி வைக்க போறேன்
உன்ன கணக்காக சேர்த்து வெச்சு
கைராசி பாக்க போறேன்
Oh wild black cuckoo

ஜாதி ஆண் ஜாதி
இவ உன் பொஞ்சாதி
இனிமே வேரேதும் ஜாதியில்லை
பாதி உன் பாதி
மானம் மருவாதி
நாலும் காப்பாத்தும் கன்னி புள்ள
Caste or gender
She is your wife
There is no other caste anymore
One half is your half
Honor is the other half
The young girl who protects every day
சொன்னத கேளு
மன்னவன் தோளு
இன்பத்த காட்டும் பாரு புள்ள
சிந்திச்சி பார்த்து சொந்தத்த சேர்த்து
பெத்துக்க வேணும் முத்துப் புள்ள
Listen to what is said
The king's shoulder
Will show bliss, see, girl
Think about it
Uniting as relatives
Give birth to a pearl-like child
நீதானில்லாது நேரம் செல்லாது
சேர எப்போதும் வீட்டுக்குள்ள
பாலும் நல்லால்ல பழமும் நல்லால்ல
பசிக்கும் வேறேதோ ஏக்கத்துல
அடி பரிமாரு மச்சான பாத்து
பாய் போட்ட கூட்டுக்குள்ள
Without you
Time doesn't pass
Always stay together inside the house
Milk is not good enough
Fruit is not good enough
Hunger is for something else in longing
Hey, serve food looking at your groom
Inside the cozy home with a mat spread out
அடி கான கருங்குயிலே
கச்சேரி வைக்க போறேன்
உன்ன கணக்காக சேர்த்து வெச்சு
கைராசி பாக்க போறேன்
Oh wild black cuckoo
I am going to host a concert
Bringing you together properly
I am going to test my lucky touch

And garland you with flowers, my dear..haan
பாசம் அன்போடு
பழகும் பண்போட
நாளும் நீயெந்தன் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
காதல் கல்யாணம் கலந்த பின்னால
கண்ணே இனி உந்தன் கண்ணுக்குள்ள
With affection and love
With gentle mannerisms
Every day inside your heart
Love and marriage
After blending together
My eyes, now inside your eyes
சந்தனம் போல
குங்குமம் போல
சங்கமம் ஆகும் ராசா கண்ணு
வந்தது வேள தந்தது மால
கேட்டது யாரு சின்ன பொண்ணு
Like sandalwood
Like vermilion
Will merge together, my sweet king
The auspicious time has arrived
The garland has been given
Who asked this, little girl?
இனிமே ரெண்டல்ல
இதயம் ஒன்னாச்சு
இரவும் பகலெல்லாம் இன்பம் உண்டு
நெனச்சா நெஞ்செல்லாம்
நெறஞ்சு பொங்காதோ
நெதமும் சுகம்முண்டு சொர்கம் உண்டு
ஒரு எலப் போட்டு போடாத சோறு
எடுக்கும்...முன் நேரம் இன்று
No longer two
The hearts became one
Day and night there is happiness
If you think about it, the heart
Will it not overflow with joy?
Always there is bliss and heaven
Food served without putting a leaf
Now is the time before taking it
அடி கான கருங்குயிலே
கச்சேரி வைக்க போறேன்
உன்ன கணக்காக சேர்த்து வெச்சு
கைராசி பாக்க போறேன்
Oh wild black cuckoo
