மாலை பெண்ணாக்கி
மலைத்தேனை கண்ணாக்கி
நதியை நடையாக்கி
பூங்கொடியை இடையாக்கி
Making the evening into a woman,
Making mountain honey into her eyes,
Making the river into her walk,
Making the flowering vine into her waist,
மூவுலகே போதை கொள்ள
ஆணுலகே அடிமையாக
என்னை படைத்தானடா
நான் உன்னை மதித்தேனடா
So that all three worlds get intoxicated,
So that the world of men becomes enslaved,
He created me!
I respected you!
இரவின் அதிசயம் உலகின்
அதிசயம் போல இருக்குதா சொல்லு
தேவ சுந்தரம் தேவ மந்திரம்
போல மயக்குதா நில்லு
The wonder of the night, is it like
the world's wonder? Tell me!
Like divine beauty, divine spell,
Is it mesmerizing? Wait and tell!

பாத்தே உருகுகிறான்
முகம் சேர்த்தே மருவுகிறான்
பாலை பருகுகிறான்
இமை கண்கள் சொருகிறான்
Just looking at me, he melts,
Joining face to face, he embraces,
He drinks the milk,
His eyes droop in bliss,
புருவ வில்லை நானசைக்க
போதை எல்லை அவன் கொடுக்க
தாவிக் குதித்தானடா
எனைத் தேடி துதித்தானடா
தாவிக் குதித்தானடா
எனைத் தேடி துதித்தானடா
As I flex the bow of my eyebrows,
As he bestows the limits of intoxication,
He leaped and jumped,
Seeking me, he yearned!
He leaped and jumped,
Seeking me, he yearned!
பாவை அமுதத்தை பருக துடித்ததை
சொல்லித் திரிகிறானே
சந்தேக தேவதை பாலை தெளிக்கவே
ஜாலம் புரிகிறானே
About his craving to drink the maiden's nectar,
He goes around boasting!
To sprinkle the milk of the goddess of doubt,
He works his magic!
