Hey, now out here with me!
The vine born for you
Its paradise
Oh my beloved, is in your lap

மாலையில் நடக்கின்ற நாடகம்
மோகனம் இசைக்கின்ற காவியம்
A drama that unfolds in the evening
An epic rendered in Mohanam raga
உனைத் தொட்டால் குளிர் விடும்
சுகம் இன்ப துளிர் விடும்
விரல் பட்டால் சிவந்திடும்
இளமொட்டு மலர்ந்திடும்
Touching you dispels the chill
Bliss sprouts joyously
Blushing at the touch of fingers
The young bud blossoms
