அழகிய திருமுகம் வருவது தெரியுது
திருமண உறவுகள் நினைவினில் விரியுது
பல முறை நான் கண்ட கனவுகள் கனியுது
பருவத்தின் ரகசியம் இதுவரை புரியுது.........
I see the beautiful face approaching
Thoughts of marital ties unfold in my memory
Dreams I saw many times are now bearing fruit
The secret of youth is understood at last
கண்ணாடி அம்மா உன் இதயம் என் கண்ணே
நான் அதைப் பார்த்தால் என் முகம் காட்டும்
தெய்வீக பந்தம் நம் உறவு
எந்நாளும் தேயாத நிலவு ஆஹா.....ஆஹா.....
Your heart is a mirror, my dear darling
If I look into it, it reflects my face
Our relationship is a divine bond
A moon that never wanes on any day, ah... ah...

நான் அதைப் பார்த்தால் என் முகம் காட்டும்
தெய்வீக பந்தம் நம் உறவு

Your heart is a mirror, my dear darling
If I look into it, it reflects my face
Our relationship is a divine bond
A moon that never wanes on any day
மனத்தில் விரித்த வலை
திருமணத்தில் முடித்த கலை ஓ...ஓ....
திருத்தி முடித்த கலை நீ
தேடிக் கொடுத்த சிலை
கண்ணன் போல் ஒரு மன்னன்
ராதை போல் அதில் நான் என் கண்ணே....ஓ....ஓ....
A net cast inside the heart
An art tied together in marriage, oh... oh...
You are the art that has been perfected
A statue searched for and gifted
A king like Lord Krishna
And I am like Radha in it, my dear... oh... oh...
கண்ணாடி அம்மா உன் இதயம் என் கண்ணே
நான் அதைப் பார்த்தால் என் முகம் காட்டும்
தெய்வீக பந்தம் நம் உறவு
எந்நாளும் தேயாத நிலவு
லால்லா லால்லா லல லா.....
Your heart is a mirror, my dear darling
If I look into it, it reflects my face
Our relationship is a divine bond
A moon that never wanes on any day
Laallaa laallaa lala laa.....
நினைத்து நினைத்து துடித்த
எனக்கும் வாழ்வல்லவா
நெருங்கி மயங்கி உறங்கி
விழிக்கும் நாளல்லவா
Heart yearning and throbbing after thinking again and again
Isn't this life meant for me as well?
Getting close, swooning, sleeping
Isn't today the day to awaken?

எனக்கும் வாழ்வல்லவா
நெருங்கி மயங்கி உறங்கி
விழிக்கும் நாளல்லவா
Heart yearning and throbbing after thinking again and again

Getting close, swooning, sleeping
Isn't today the day to awaken?
மஞ்சம் சொர்க்கமல்லவா
மன்னன் பக்கமல்லவா
சொல்ல வெட்கமல்லவா
எந்த கண்ணே......ஓஒ....ஓ......
Isn't the marital bed a heaven?
Isn't the king right beside me?
Isn't it coy to say this out loud?
Oh my dear eyes... oh... oh...
