ஐம்பதிலும் ஆசை வரும்
ஆசையுடன் பாசம் வரும்
இதில் அந்தரங்கம் கிடையாதம்மா
நாள் செல்ல நாள் செல்ல சுகம் தானம்மா
Desire comes even at the age of fifty,
Along with desire, deep affection comes.
There is no secrecy in this, my dear lady,
As days pass by, happiness only increases, doesn't it?
ஐம்பதிலும் ஆசை வரும்
ஆசையுடன் பாசம் வரும்
இதில் அந்தரங்கம் கிடையாதம்மா
நாள் செல்ல நாள் செல்ல சுகம் தானம்மா
Desire comes even at the age of fifty,
Along with desire, deep affection comes.
There is no secrecy in this, my dear lady,
As days pass by, happiness only increases, doesn't it?
ஐம்பதிலும் ஆசை வரும்
Desire comes even at the age of fifty.
என்றென்றும் பதினாறு போலே
இருப்பது உன் மேனியே
என்றென்றும் பதினாறு போலே
இருப்பது உன் மேனியே
Like being forever sixteen,
Is your physical body,
Like being forever sixteen,
Is your physical body.
வீடு வரும் போது ஓடி வரும் மாது
நினைவில் இன்னும் நிற்கின்றாள்
ஆறு சுவை செய்தாள் அருகிலிருந்து தந்தாள்
அன்பு மிக்க தாயாகின்றாள்.........
The woman who comes running when I return home,
Still stands fondly in my memory.
She cooked a meal of six flavors and served it sitting near me,
Becoming a loving mother figure...
ஐம்பதிலும் ஆசை வரும்
ஆசையுடன் பாசம் வரும்
இதில் அந்தரங்கம் கிடையாதம்மா
நாள் செல்ல நாள் செல்ல சுகம் தானம்மா
Desire comes even at the age of fifty,
Along with desire, deep affection comes.
There is no secrecy in this, my dear lady,
As days pass by, happiness only increases, doesn't it?
சம்சாரம் தன்னோடு பேச
சுவர் ஏறி குதித்தேனம்மா
சம்சாரம் தன்னோடு பேச
சுவர் ஏறி குதித்தேனம்மா
தாலி கட்டும் தாரம் வேலி கட்டினாலும்
தனியே நினைத்தாள் துடிக்கின்றாள்
காலம் என்ற ஒன்று கனிந்து வரும் போது
கணவனுக்கே உயிராகின்றாள்........
Just to talk with my wife,
I climbed over the wall and jumped, my dear lady!
Just to talk with my wife,
I climbed over the wall and jumped, my dear lady!
Even if the wife bound by marriage builds a wall of modesty,
When thinking alone, her heart throbs for him.
When the time ripens,
She becomes the very life of her husband...
ஐம்பதிலும் ஆசை வரும்
ஆசையுடன் பாசம் வரும்
இதில் அந்தரங்கம் கிடையாதம்மா
நாள் செல்ல நாள் செல்ல சுகம் தானம்மா

Along with desire, deep affection comes.
There is no secrecy in this, my dear lady,
As days pass by, happiness only increases, doesn't it?
தெய்வத்தால் உருவான பந்தம்
விலகாது மகராணியே
தெய்வத்தால் உருவான பந்தம்
விலகாது மகராணியே
This bond created by God,
Will never fade away, my queen.
This bond created by God,
Will never fade away, my queen.
பெற்றெடுத்த பிள்ளை
கற்றுக் கொண்ட தொல்லை
இடையில் இருக்கும் தடையாகும்
செய்தவளும் நீதான் சேர்ந்தவளும் நீ தான்
என்னிடத்தில் தவறில்லையே.......
The child we gave birth to,
And the trouble we learned from it,
Becomes a temporary obstacle in between.
You are the one who created it,
You are the one who joined me,
There is no fault on my side...
ஐம்பதிலும் ஆசை வரும்
ஆசையுடன் பாசம் வரும்
இதில் அந்தரங்கம் கிடையாதம்மா
நாள் செல்ல நாள் செல்ல சுகம் தானம்மா
ஓ ஹோ நாள் செல்ல நாள் செல்ல சுகம் தானம்மா
நாள் செல்ல நாள் செல்ல சுகம் தானம்மா
