வந்த வழி நானறியேன்
மங்கை என்னை நீயறிவாய்

தேடி வந்த சிலையைக் கண்டு
மூடிக் கொண்ட கண்கள் –இந்த
தேவரையும் விடுவதில்லை
ஊடல் கொண்ட பெண்கள்
Seeing the divine idol she came searching for,
Her eyes closed in reverence and shyness,
They do not spare even the lord himself,
Women engaged in romantic sulking.
மணந்தவரை யாரிடத்தும்
தருவதில்லை நாங்கள்
மணந்தவரை யாரிடத்தும்
தருவதில்லை நாங்கள்
தினந்தோறும் நாடகங்கள் ஆடுவது நீங்கள்
Seeing the divine idol she came searching for,
Her eyes closed in reverence and shyness,
They do not spare even the lord himself,
Women engaged in romantic sulking.
என் மன்னவா............
உண்மை சொல்லவா.............
பெண்மை அல்லவா ............
என்னை வெல்லவா
The one we have married,
We will never surrender to anyone else.

அறிவேனே சாகசங்கள்
இது வரையில் போதும்

இது வரையில் போதும்
அலை மோதும் காதலுடன் பூமகளை பாரும்
Residing in the sacred lotus,
Oh golden flower goddess,
Thinking only of you,
This divine soul embraces you.
