ஆனந்தம் இன்று ஆரம்பம்
என் நெஞ்சில் என்றும் பேரின்பம்

தென்னஞ்சோலையில் திரியும் மயிலே
சேலை அவசியமா
கண்ணில் காய்வது நிலவா வெய்யிலா
காதல் ரகசியமா
Oh peacock wandering in the coconut grove
Is a saree really necessary?
Is that moonlight or sunlight beaming in your eyes?
Is love a secret?
இந்தப் பார்வையில் இளமையும் அழகும்
என்றும் நிரந்தரமா
எந்தக் காலமும் மடியில் தவழ
தெய்வம் வரம் தருமா
In this glance, are youth and beauty
Permanent forever?
To cuddle in your lap for all time
Will God grant a divine boon?
தத்தித் தாவிடும் முத்து பூங்கொடி
மெத்தை மீதெனை தொத்தி தொங்கடி......
Oh pearl-like flowering creeper leaping happily
Cling and embrace me upon the bed
ஆனந்தம் இன்று ஆரம்பம்
என் நெஞ்சில் என்றும் பேரின்பம்
நீ பார்த்தாலே பூவெல்லாம்
தேன் சிந்தும் தேன் சிந்தும்...

[Musical Interlude]
விண்ணைப் போலொரு மின்னல் வந்து
கண்ணைத் தழுவியதே
மன்னன் மங்கையின் அங்கம் தொடுகையில்
ஆடை நழுவியதே
A lightning bolt like the sky arrived
And gently brushed against my eyes
When the king touches the maiden's limbs
Her garment slipped away
ஆடை நழுவிய தேகம் அடடா
பூவில் அழகியதே
அல்லிப் பூக்களில் அங்கம் செய்து
தங்கம் மெழுகியதே
Oh, the body from which the garment slipped
Is prettier than a flower!
Crafted using soft water-lilies
And coated in radiant gold
முத்தத்தால் எனை மோகம் கிள்ளுது
சத்தத்தால் இவள் தேகம் குளிருது
Passion pinches me with a kiss
Her body shivers with delight at the sound
ஆனந்தம் இன்று ஆரம்பம்
என் நெஞ்சில் என்றும் பேரின்பம்
நீ பார்த்தாலே பூவெல்லாம்
தேன் சிந்தும் தேன் சிந்தும்...
Joy begins today
Eternal supreme bliss fills my heart
If you just look, all the flowers
Will spill honey, will spill honey…

Vinnai poloru minnal vanthu

Mannan mangaiyin angam Thodugaiyil
When the king touches the maiden's limbs
Aadai nazhuviyathae
Her garment slipped away
aadai nazhuviya dhegam adadaa
Oh, the body from which the garment slipped
Poovil azhagiyathae
Is prettier than a flower!
Alli pookkalil angam seithu
Crafted using soft water-lilies
Thangam mezhugiyathae
And coated in radiant gold
Muththathaal enai mogam killuthu
Passion pinches me with a kiss
Saththathaal ival dhegam kuliruthu
Her body shivers with delight at the sound
