தினத் தந்திக்கொரு சேதி இருக்கு

There is news for the Daily Thanthi newspaper
There is love in the heart of a young girl

வா வேடனே எந்தன் மாவீரனே
இந்த கிளிக் குஞ்சு இடம் கேட்கும் உன் தோளிலே
அறியாமலே யார்க்கும் தெரியாமலே
நானும் முகம் பார்க்கும் சுகம் வேண்டும் உன் மார்பிலே
Come, my hunter, my great warrior
This little chick asks for a place on your shoulders
Male: Without knowing, without anyone finding out
I want the bliss of gazing at your face on your chest
கஞ்சனிடம் ஏழை வந்து தடுமாறுதல் போலே
காலிரெண்டும் நடுங்கும் இந்த மாற்றம் எதனாலே
சேட்டை புரிந்தனன் மன்மதன் மெல்ல
சேலையிருப்பது நிச்சயம் அல்ல
Like a poor person stumbling before a miser
Both my legs tremble, what caused this change?
Male: Lord Cupid played his mischievous tricks softly
It is certainly not just a saree resting here
தினத் தந்திக்கொரு சேதி இருக்கு
சின்னப் பொண்ணுக்கொரு காதல் இருக்கு

மலர்மேனியே காதல் மகராணியே
உந்தன் நிறம் கண்டு வெட்கம் கொள்ளும் மருதாணியே
மகராஜனே காதல் யுவராஜனே
எந்தன் கண்ஜாடை கண்டால் நீயும் கவிராஜனே
O flower-bodied queen of love
Henna blushes upon seeing your radiant color
Female: O great king, prince of love
If you see my glance, you turn into a king of poets
எங்கிருந்து வந்தாய் அன்று
என்னவோ பயம் கொண்டாய்
அடைக்கலம் தந்தேன் எந்தன்
மனதைக் கொள்ளைக் கொண்டாய்
Where did you come from?
Back then, you were somehow afraid
I offered you shelter
And you stole my heart away
காவலுக்கென்றே வேடனும் வந்தான்
காதலுக்கென்றே மாலையும் கொண்டான்
The hunter who came for security duty
Brought a garland meant for love
தினத் தந்திக்கொரு சேதி இருக்கு
சின்னப் பொண்ணுக்கொரு காதல் இருக்கு
தினத் தந்திக்கொரு சேதி இருக்கு
சின்னப் பொண்ணுக்கொரு காதல் இருக்கு

ஆஹா ஆஹா ஆஹா ஆஹா
சின்னப் பொண்ணுக்கொரு காதல் இருக்கு
ஹே ஹே ஹே ஹஹஹாஹ்......
