அம்மாடி அம்மாடி
பொண்ணு செல ஒன்னு போகுதே
முன்னாடி முன்னாடி
மின்னல் ஒளி ஒன்னு பாயுதே
Oh my, oh my!
A girl wearing a saree goes by.
Right ahead, right ahead,
A streak of lightning flash strikes!
ஜாட காட்டுறா என்ன மறந்தேன்
கொஞ்சம் சோகமா
தீய மூட்டுறா பத்தி எரிஞ்சேன்
கொஞ்சம் எதமா
She signals subtly,
I forgot myself, feeling a little melancholy.
She lights a fire within me,
I caught fire, feeling strangely comfortable.
ஒரு பூங்காத்தா மாறி
வாசம் கூட்டுறா
என்ன ஏமாத்தி லேசா
வேசம் காட்டுறா
Like a gentle garden breeze,
She enhances the fragrance.
Deceiving me gently,
She puts on a facade.
ஒரு பூங்காத்தா மாறி
வாசம் கூட்டுறா
என்ன ஏமாத்தி லேசா
வேசம் காட்டுறா
Like a gentle garden breeze,
She enhances the fragrance.
Deceiving me gently,
She puts on a facade.
அம்மாடி அம்மாடி
பொண்ணு செல ஒன்னு போகுதே
முன்னாடி முன்னாடி
மின்னல் ஒளி ஒன்னு பாயுதே
Oh my, oh my!
A girl wearing a saree goes by.
Right ahead, right ahead,
A streak of lightning flash strikes!
தங்க தறியில சேல
வெள்ளி கல்லு வச்ச மாலை
வாங்கி சேக்கவா
நீ சூடி பாக்கவா
A saree woven on a gold loom,
A necklace embedded with silver stones,
Shall I buy and gather them?
Will you wear them and see?
சங்கு கழுத்து மேல
முத்து மணிய போல
மாறி போகவா
உன் கூட சேரவா
Upon your conch-like neck,
Like a string of pearl beads,
Shall I transform into one?
Shall I join with you?
மூச்ச கயிராக்கி
ஒரு ஊஞ்சல் தரவா
வீசும் இளங்காத்தா
நா பேச வரவா
Making my breath into a rope,
Shall I give you a swing?
Blowing like a gentle breeze,
Shall I come to talk to you?
சொல்லத்தான் நெஞ்சு துடிக்குது
பக்கம் வந்தா முடியல
சத்தமா கத்த நினச்சா
சக்கரம் சுத்துது தொண்டைக்குள்ள
Just to express it,
My heart throbs intensely.
When she comes near, I am rendered helpless.
When I try to shout out loud,
A wheel spins inside my throat.
ஒரு பூங்காத்தா மாறி
வாசம் கூட்டுறா
என்ன ஏமாத்தி லேசா
வேசம் காட்டுறா
Like a gentle garden breeze,
She enhances the fragrance.
Deceiving me gently,
She puts on a facade.
அம்மாடி அம்மாடி
பொண்ணு செல ஒன்னு போகுதே
Oh my, oh my!
A girl wearing a saree goes by.
ஏரி தண்ணி கர ஓரம்
சேரும் நுரையா நானும்
ஆச சேக்குறேன்
உன்ன பாக்க ஏங்குறேன்
Like the accumulating foam,
On the banks of the lake water,
I gather my desires.
I long to see you.
கள்ள் சிரிப்புல லேசா
என்னா வதச்சு போனா
கொழம்பி போகுறேன்
அந்த வெவரம் கேக்குறேன்
With a sly, subtle smile,
She crushed me and walked past,
I end up confused.
I am asking for details.
நேரம் மறந்தேனே
உன்ன நெனச்சேன் புள்ள
ஆழம் புரியாம உன்ன
வெத்தசென் உள்ள
I forgot time itself,
Thinking of you, my girl.
Without understanding the depth,
I sowed you inside my heart.
அத்தனையும் சொல்லி முடிக்கல
அருவி கொட்டுது உள்ளுக்குள்ள
பத்து முற துள்ளி குத்திச்சேன்
படுத்துறாளே அழகுல
Everything that I feel,
I couldn't finish telling.
A waterfall cascades inside me.
Ten times over,
I leaped and jumped.
She torments me with her beauty.
ஒரு பூங்காத்தா மாறி
வாசம் கூட்டுறா
என்ன ஏமாத்தி லேசா
வேசம் காட்டுறா
Like a gentle garden breeze,
She enhances the fragrance.
Deceiving me gently,
She puts on a facade.

தீய மூட்டுறா பத்தி எரிஞ்சேன்
கொஞ்சம் எதமா
She signals subtly,
I forgot myself,
A bit melancholy.
She lights a fire,
I caught fire and burned,
A bit comfortably.
ஒரு பூங்காத்தா மாறி
வாசம் கூட்டுறா
என்ன ஏமாத்தி லேசா
வேசம் காட்டுறா
Like a gentle garden breeze,
She enhances the fragrance.
