அழகே அழகே என்னோடு வா
அழகே அழகே என்னோடு வா
காதல் மோகம் பார்வையாலே தீராது
அட இதுதான் முதல் முறை
இனி மேல் வளர் பிறை இளமை தாங்காது
Oh beauty, oh beauty, come with me
Oh beauty, oh beauty, come with me
Love's passion cannot be quenched by glances alone
Ah, this is the very first time
From now on like a waxing moon, youth cannot hold back
அழகே அழகே என்னோடு வா
Oh beauty, oh beauty, come with me
இவள் ஆடை கலைந்தது
தேகம் மலர்ந்தது
ஆஹா முதல் வசந்தம்
Her garment was shed
Her body bloomed
Aha, the first spring!
இன்று மீண்டும் உனை வந்து
தீண்டும் விரல் அது
உயிரின் வரை உரசும்
Today, coming to you again
That touching finger
Gently grazes right up to the soul
இவள் ஆடை கலைந்தது
தேகம் மலர்ந்தது
ஆஹா முதல் வசந்தம்
Her garment was shed
Her body bloomed
Aha, the first spring!
இன்று மீண்டும் உனை வந்து
தீண்டும் விரல் அது
உயிரின் வரை உரசும்
Today, coming to you again
That touching finger
Gently grazes right up to the soul
அழகே வந்தாய் நீயும் நீராக
எந்தன் பெண்மை பூவாக
Oh beauty, you arrived like water
With my womanhood becoming a flower
நாமே நிலமாக
இன்பக் காதல் பயிராக
And both of us becoming the land
To yield the sweet crop of love
அழகே அழகே என்னோடு வா
Oh beauty, oh beauty, come with me
இங்கு நாளை மறு முறை
நீயும் வரும் வரை
கண்கள் துடித்திருக்கும்
Here, until tomorrow again
When you come back
My eyes will be throbbing with yearning
என் கண்ணா இரவினில்
ஏழை இருதயம்
மேளம் அடித்திருக்கும்
My beloved, in the night
This poor heart
Will beat like a drum
இங்கு நாளை மறு முறை
நீயும் வரும் வரை
கண்கள் துடித்திருக்கும்
Here, until tomorrow again
When you come back
My eyes will be throbbing with yearning
என் கண்ணா இரவினில்
ஏழை இருதயம்
மேளம் அடித்திருக்கும்
My beloved, in the night
This poor heart
Will beat like a drum
ரதியே காதல் என்றும்
மர்மம்தான்
நாணம் பெண்ணின் தர்மம்தான்
Oh my Rathi, love is always
A mystery indeed
Shyness is a woman's true nature
தோளில் தலை சாயும்
இந்த நேரம் மௌனம்தான்
Rests her head upon the shoulder
In this moment, silence reigns
அழகே அழகே என்னோடு வா
அழகே அழகே என்னோடு வா
காதல் மோகம் பார்வையாலே தீராது
Oh beauty, oh beauty, come with me
Oh beauty, oh beauty, come with me
Love's passion cannot be quenched by glances alone
அட இதுதான் முதல் முறை
இனிமேல் வளர்பிறை இளமை தாங்காது
Ah, this is the very first time
From now on like a waxing moon, youth cannot hold back
அழகே அழகே என்னோடு வா
