|---|---|
| Male | |
| Pana mara kuruthula | On the tender shoot of the palm tree |
| Panaiya katturen | I am tying the palm pot |
| Padhani thaan nirambudhu | The palm sap is filling up |
| Paadhaiyum maarudhu | And my path is changing too |
| Adi raasathi adi raasathi | Oh my princess, oh my princess |
| Male | |
| Adi raasathi | Oh my princess |
| En udambil nee paadhi | You are half of my body |
| Porayavum kooru kathi | Like a sharp knife used for slicing |
| Kannala ena theetti | Sharpening me with your eyes |
| Male | |
| Viratti viratti vaarandi | She comes chasing and driving me away |
| Thalli vittu pogaadha | Do not push me away and leave |
| Mutta mutta kannala | With your round, wide eyes |
| Mutti enna saaikkadha | Do not bump and knock me down |
| Male | |
| Adi raasathi | Oh my princess |
| En udambil nee paadhi | You are half of my body |
| Porayavum kooru kathi | Like a sharp knife used for slicing |
| Kannala ena theetti | Sharpening me with your eyes |
| Male | |
| Thoralum podudhu | Drizzle is falling |
| Mayilum aadudhu | The peacock is dancing |
| Karumegam merkka soozhudhu | Dark clouds are gathering in the west |
| Padaadavena nenjam thudikkudhu | My heart beats fast and restless |
| Rasathi azhaga kandathum | Upon seeing the beauty of my princess |
| Male | |
| Poluthu vidinja kilambi pora | You leave at dawn as the day breaks |
| Vazhianuppa naanum vaaren | I come to see you off |
| Poluthu maranjum kaathu kidanthen | I waited eagerly even after twilight set in |
| Soru thanni ninappa marandhen | I forgot the thought of food and water |
| Male | |
| Vaasa thelikka vandha neram | The moment you come to sprinkle water at the doorway |
| Rombha azhaga maari pogum | Everything transforms into pure beauty |
| Thoodhu onnu naanum solla | As I send a message of love to you |
| Badhila neeyum sonna podhum | It is enough if you give a reply |
| Namma kadhala nee sonna podhum | It is enough if you accept our love |
| Male | |
| Adi raasathi | Oh my princess |
| En udambil nee paadhi | You are half of my body |
| Porayavum kooru kathi | Like a sharp knife used for slicing |

| Kannala ena theetti | Sharpening me with your eyes |
| Male | |
| Kanavu kanda kaalam ottuuren | I am spending time dreaming |
| Unna ninachi vekkappattu sirikkiren | Thinking of you, I smile shyly |
| Natta naduvil nilavidam pesuren | I speak to the moon at midnight |
| Unnala polambhi kidakkiren | I lie awake rambling because of you |
| Male | |
| Karisakattu karumba irukkura | You are like sugarcane in dry black soil |
| Parisam poda thaviya thavikkiren | I yearn desperately to present the bridal gift |
| Pakkam vandha vilagi nikkira | When I come near, you stand away |
| Unnoda sera thudikkiren | I am dying to unite with you |

| Pottal kaattu puludhi pola | Like dust in a barren dry land |
| Enna thooki veesi pora | You lift me up and toss me away |
| Ponnu kettu naanum vaaren | I am coming to formally ask for your hand |
| Enna erinji pesidatha pulla | Girl, do not speak to me with harsh anger |
| Enna erinji pesidatha | Do not speak to me angrily |

பன மர குருத்துல
பானைய கட்டுறேன்
பதனி தான் நிரம்புது
பாதையும் மாறுது
On the tender shoot of the palm tree
I am tying the palm pot
The palm sap is filling up
And my path is changing too
Oh my princess, oh my princess
அடி ராசாத்தி
என் உடம்பில் நீ பாதி
போரயவும் கூரு கத்தி
கண்ணால என தீட்டி
Oh my princess
You are half of my body
Like a sharp knife used for slicing
Sharpening me with your eyes
விரட்டி விரட்டி வாரண்டி
தள்ளி விட்டு போகாத
முட்ட முட்ட கண்ணால
முட்டி என்ன சாய்க்காத
She comes chasing and driving me away
Do not push me away and leave
With your round, wide eyes
Do not bump and knock me down
அடி ராசாத்தி
என் உடம்பில் நீ பாதி
போரயவும் கூரு கத்தி
கண்ணால என தீட்டி
Oh my princess
You are half of my body
Like a sharp knife used for slicing
Sharpening me with your eyes
தூறலும் போடுது
மயிலும் ஆடுது
கருமேகம் மேற்க்க சூழுது
படபடவென நெஞ்சம் துடிக்குது
ராசாத்தி அழக கண்டது
Drizzle is falling
The peacock is dancing
Dark clouds are gathering in the west
My heart beats fast and restless
Upon seeing the beauty of my princess
பொழுது விடிஞ்சா கிளம்பி போற
வழியனுப்ப நானும் வாறேன்
பொழுது மறஞ்சும் காத்து கிடந்தேன்
சோறு நினப்ப நானும் மறந்தேன்
You leave at dawn as the day breaks
I come to see you off
I waited eagerly even after twilight set in
I forgot the thought of food and water
வாச தெளிக்க வந்த நேரம்
ரொம்ப அழகா மாறிப்போகும்
தூது ஒன்னு நானூம் சொல்ல
பதில நீயும் சொன்ன போதும்
காதல நீ சொன்ன போதும்
The moment you come to sprinkle water at the doorway
Everything transforms into pure beauty
As I send a message of love to you
It is enough if you give a reply
It is enough if you accept our love
அடி ராசாத்தி
என் உடம்பில் நீ பாதி
போரயவும் கூரு கத்தி
கண்ணால என தீட்டி
Oh my princess
You are half of my body
Like a sharp knife used for slicing
Sharpening me with your eyes
ஹே ராசாத்தி
என் உடம்பில் நீ பாதி
போரயவும் கூரு கத்தி
கண்ணால என தீட்டி
Hey princess
You are half of my body
Like a sharp knife used for slicing
Sharpening me with your eyes
கனவு கண்டே காலம் ஓட்டுறேன்
உன்ன நினச்சி வெக்கப்பட்டு சிரிக்கிறேன்
நட்ட நடுவில் நிலவிடம் பேசுறேன்
உன்னால பொலம்பி கிடக்கிறேன்
I am spending time dreaming
Thinking of you, I smile shyly
I speak to the moon at midnight
I lie awake rambling because of you
கரிசக்காட்டு கரும்பா இருக்குறா
பரிசம் போட தவியா தவிக்கிறேன்
பக்கம் வந்தா விலகி நிக்கிற
உன்னோட சேர துடிக்கிறேன்
You are like sugarcane in dry black soil
I yearn desperately to present the bridal gift
When I come near, you stand away
I am dying to unite with you
கரிசக்காட்டு தூசி போல
என்ன வீசி போற
பொன்னு கேட்டு நானும் வாறேன்
என்ன எறிஞ்சி பேசிடாத புள்ள
என்ன எறிஞ்சி பேசிடாத
Like dust in a barren dry land
You lift me up and toss me away
I am coming to formally ask for your hand
Girl, do not speak to me with harsh anger
Do not speak to me angrily
அடி ராசாத்தி
என் உடம்பில் நீ பாதி
போரயவும் கூரு கத்தி
கண்ணால என தீட்டி
Oh my princess
You are half of my body
Like a sharp knife used for slicing
Sharpening me with your eyes
அடி ராசாத்தி
என் உடம்பில் நீ பாதி
போரயவும் கூரு கத்தி
கண்ணால என தீட்டி
Oh my princess
You are half of my body
Like a sharp knife used for slicing
Sharpening me with your eyes

Utilizing rich rustic imagery—such as palmyra sap collection, rain clouds, peacocks, and dry land sugarcane—the singer conveys how deeply smitten he is, viewing her as half of his own soul while navigating the sweet torture of her playful teasing and hesitation.
