அழகு திரண்டு வந்து கொலுவில்
இருந்துக் கொண்டு அழைக்குது
அருந்து அருந்து என்று
விருந்துக்குனை அழைக்க துடிக்குது
Beauty gathers together in state
Sitting in court, calling out to you
Saying, 'consume, consume'
It yearns to invite you to a feast
பழகு பழகு என்று பருவ
கதவுகளைத் திறக்குது
பழைய கதையை விட்டுப்
புதிய கதைக்கு உன்னை இழுக்குது..........
Saying 'get acquainted, get acquainted'
It opens the doors of youthfulness
Leaving behind the old story
It pulls you towards a new story
ஆடாத கனியுமில்லை
அசையாத மலருமில்லை
ஆசைக்கு வெட்கமில்லை
அனுபவி மகராஜா
There is no fruit that does not sway
There is no flower that does not move
Desire knows no shame
Enjoy it, oh great king
தேடாத இரு கனிகள்
வாடாத இரு மலர்கள்
தேவைக்கு இங்கே உண்டு
இது ஒரு புது ரோஜா
Two unsearched fruits
Two unwithering flowers
Are right here for your needs
This is a new rose
ஓராயிரம் பெண்களுண்டு
ஈடாகவோ யாருமில்லை
There are a thousand women
Yet no one is an equal match
அழகு திரண்டு வந்து கொலுவில்
இருந்துக் கொண்டு அழைக்குது
அருந்து அருந்து என்று
விருந்துக்குனை அழைக்க துடிக்குது
Beauty gathers together in state
Sitting in court, calling out to you
Saying, 'consume, consume'
It yearns to invite you to a feast
பதமான நல்ல குணம்
பசி தீர்க்க நல்ல முகம்
பால் போன்ற மேனியுண்டு
அனுபவி மகராஜா
A gentle and good disposition
A lovely face that satisfies hunger
A body fair like milk is here
Enjoy it, oh great king
படம் பார்க்க கண்ணை விடு
பனித் தேனை அள்ளி விடு
இதமாக அள்ளிக்கொள்ள
இதுவொரு புது ரோஜா
Let your eyes watch the scene
Gather up the cool honey
To embrace comfortably
This is a new rose
அறிவேன் உன்னை வெகுநேரமா
அணைத்தால் என்ன தவறாகுமா
I have known you for a long time
What harm is there if you embrace me?
அழகு திரண்டு வந்து கொலுவில்
இருந்துக் கொண்டு அழைக்குது
அருந்து அருந்து என்று
விருந்துக்குனை அழைக்க துடிக்குது
Beauty gathers together in state
Sitting in court, calling out to you
Saying, 'consume, consume'
It yearns to invite you to a feast
தாளாத வயதுமில்லை
தேடாத மனதுமில்லை
தானாக வந்த பெண்ணை
அனுபவி மகராஜா
Age is not an unbearable constraint
The heart is not without longing
A woman who came on her own accord
Enjoy it, oh great king
பாலாடை வடிவமிதை
நூலாடை திரையிடுது
பார்த்தாலே போதை பொங்கும்
இது ஒரு புது ரோஜா
This shape like cream on milk
Is veiled by silk garments
Just looking at it intoxicates
This is a new rose
அறை தேடலாம் இலை போடலாம்
இரை தேடலாம் விளையாடலாம்
We can seek a room, lay a leaf for a meal
We can hunt for prey and play games
அழகு திரண்டு வந்து கொலுவில்
இருந்துக் கொண்டு அழைக்குது
அருந்து அருந்து என்று
விருந்துக்குனை அழைக்க துடிக்குது
Beauty gathers together in state
Sitting in court, calling out to you
Saying, 'consume, consume'
It yearns to invite you to a feast
Azhagu thirandu vanthu koluvil

Saying, 'consume, consume'

It yearns to invite you to a feast
Pazhagu pazhagu endru paruva
Saying 'get acquainted, get acquainted'
Kadhavugalai thirakkuthu
It opens the doors of youthfulness
Pazhaiya kadhaiyai vittu
Leaving behind the old story
Pudhiya kadhaikku unnai izhukkuthu
It pulls you towards a new story
Aadaatha kaniyumillai
There is no fruit that does not sway
Asaiyaatha malarimillai
There is no flower that does not move
Aasaikku vetkkamillai
Desire knows no shame
Anupavi maharaja
Enjoy it, oh great king

Song interpretation
This allure-filled song from 'Ungal Viruppam' (1974) is a playful and seductive musical invitation sung by L. R. Eswari. The protagonist beckons a 'Maharaja' (great king) to set aside past stories and surrender to the pleasures of youth, passion, and romance. Through vivid metaphors comparing feminine beauty to blooming roses, unwithering flowers, and luscious fruits, she invites him to feast upon life's joys without hesitation or shame. The overarching tone is one of romantic indulgence, celebrating beauty, sensory delight, and spontaneous love.
