தேகை விறிக்கும் மயிலே...
ஆஅ......ஆஅ.....ஆ.....
மேகம் கருக்கயிலே
தேகை விறிக்கும் மயிலே...
கண்ணே என் கண் முன்னே வந்து
காதல்கதை சொல்வதெப்போ
மாலை இளம் பொழுதில்
கானம் படிக்கும் குயிலே
தாலாட்டும் தென்றலாய்
நீ பாட்டு சொல்லி கேட்பதெப்போ
உனது மடியில் விழிகள் மூட
உறங்க வைத்து நீயும் பாட
Oh peacock that unfurls its plumage when clouds darken
Aaa...aaa...aa...
Oh peacock that unfurls its plumage when clouds darken
My darling, when will you come before my eyes and tell your love story?
Oh cuckoo bird singing melodies in the pleasant evening hours
Like a soothing breeze, when will you sing a song and ask me about it?
When will you sing to put me to sleep, as I close my eyes on your lap?
ஆனந்தம் வந்ததடி ஆனந்தி உன்னாலே....
ஞானங்கள் வந்ததடி ஆனந்தி உன்மேலே....

மாதர்கள் மலரெடுத்து
மலருக்கு மலர் தொடுத்து
மாதர்கள் மலரெடுத்து
மலருக்கு மலர் தொடுத்து
மருதாணி வண்ணமிட்டு
பெண் அழைத்து முன்னே வர
பூ மாலை நானெடுத்து
தோளோடு சூடிவிட்டு
மார்போடு சேர்த்து கொள்ளும்
மன நாளின்சேதி சொல்லு
நாதம் முழங்க நேசம் துவங்க
வாழ்த்து குவிய வாழ்வு துலங்க
Women plucking flowers and weaving them together string by string
Women plucking flowers and weaving them together string by string
Applying henna shades and bringing the golden bride forward
When I place a garland of flowers around your neck
Tell me the news of our wedding day when I embrace you close to my chest
As divine music reverberates and love begins to bloom
As blessings shower upon us and our life shines bright
ஆனந்தம் வந்ததடி ஆனந்தி உன்னாலே....
ஞானங்கள் வந்ததடி ஆனந்தி உன்மேலே....
