டேய் வாடா ராஜா வாடா கண்ணு
கண்கள் உன் பக்கம்
வண்ண பூவனம் முத்து மாணிக்கம்
உன் முகம் உன் முகம் உன் முகம் உன் முகம்
Hey come, my king, come my darling
My eyes are set on you
A colorful garden of flowers, pearls, and rubies
Is your face, your face, your face, your face
ஏய் வாடி கண்ணே வாடி இங்கே
கைகள் உன் பக்கம்
இந்த மாங்கனி உந்தன் மார்பினில்
ஆட வேண்டும் கூட வேண்டும்
கூடும்போது பாட வேண்டும்
Hey come, my darling, come here
My hands are reaching towards you
This mango fruit against your chest
Should sway and unite
Male: While uniting, we should sing
கொடி விட்ட பூவினில் மோதுது காற்று
காரணம் கேட்டு விடு....ஊ....
மணி மின்னும் கைகளை
தோள்களில் போட்டு
மயக்கத்தை தீர்த்து விடு
மயக்கத்தை தீர்த்து விடு
The wind clashes against the newly bloomed flower on the vine
Ask for the reason why...
Male: Wrap your jewel-glimmering hands
Around my shoulders
And relieve this sweet intoxication
And relieve this sweet intoxication
பொன்மலர் செண்டுகள்
கண்களில் கண்டதும்
பொன்மலர் செண்டுகள்
கண்களில் கண்டதும்
பொய்கையின் வண்டுகள் ஆடாதோ
பொய்கையின் வண்டுகள் ஆடாதோ
Golden flower clusters
Upon seeing in the eyes
Golden flower clusters
Upon seeing in the eyes
Won't the bees of the pond dance in joy?

Hey come, my king, come my darling
My eyes are set on you
A colorful garden of flowers, pearls, and rubies
Is your face, your face, your face, your face
நாட்டிய பாவையின் பூட்டிய மேனி
தீட்டிய ஓவியமோ
அது காட்டிய நாடகம் மாப்பிள்ளை கண்களில்
கூட்டிய காவியமோ
கூட்டிய காவியமோ
The enclosed, sculpted body of the dancing maiden
Is it a finely painted canvas?
Female: Is the play performed in the bridegroom's eyes
A epic poem brought together?
A epic poem brought together?
ஊற்றிய பாலிடை
ஊறிய தேனென
ஊற்றிய பாலிடை
ஊறிய தேனென
நாளைய இன்பங்கள் ஆயிரமோ
நாளைய இன்பங்கள் ஆயிரமோ
