I consulted astrology and checked the horoscope,
I am the one meant especially for you,
O sweet honey overflowing in my memories!
பாலைக் கண்ட வேளை தன் வாலையாட்டும் பூனை
உன் பால்மேனி எனக்காகத்தான்
பாலைக் கண்ட வேளை தன் வாலையாட்டும் பூனை
உன் பால்மேனி எனக்காகத்தான்
கேட்டேனே ஜோசியம் பார்த்தேனே ஜாதகம்
உனக்கென உள்ளவன் நானே
நினைப்பினில் பொங்கிடும் தேனே

Stand there without stepping away, my lady,
Speak to me gently, my lady,
O enchanting spell worthy of intoxication!
Before the feet advance,
After the eyes steal a glance,
It is a clever trick worthy of intimacy!
ஒதுங்காமல் நில்லம்மா மெதுவாக சொல்லம்மா
மயக்கத்துக்குரிய மந்திரமோ
கால் போகும் முன்னாலே கண் பார்க்கும் பின்னாலே

To cool down my warmth a little,
You are the refreshing Courtallam waterfalls in which I bathe!
O Tenkasi drizzle, O golden evening shower!
My loving heart is boiling over,
The flood has arrived for me to bathe.
கோடை வெயில் மீற என் சூடு கொஞ்சம் ஆற
நான் நீராடும் குற்றாலம் நீ
தென்காசி சாரலே பொன்மாலை தூறலே
கொதிக்குது காதலன் உள்ளம் குளித்திட வந்தது வெள்ளம்
This art is not something unknown,
Should I be the one to teach the beginning?
Is this a drama worthy of modesty?
Does it not become known naturally?
Do you not understand this hesitation?
Is this an adventure worthy of a fresh start?
அறியாத கலையல்ல ஆரம்பம் நான் சொல்ல
அடக்கத்துக்குரிய நாடகமோ
தானாக தெரியாதோ தடுமாற்றம் புரியாதோ
தொடக்கத்துக்குரிய சாகசமோ......
