எல்லோர்க்கும் போதை தரும்
இந்த தேவனின் திராட்சைக் கொடி
Gives intoxication to everyone
This divine grapevine
எல்லோர்க்கும் போதை தரும்
இந்த தேவனின் திராட்சைக் கொடி
எப்போதுமே திறந்திருக்கும்
இவள் மாளிகை வாசல் படி
Gives intoxication to everyone
This divine grapevine
Always remains open
The doorstep of her palace
எங்கெங்கு சுவை வேண்டும்
அங்கங்கு அது தோன்றும்..........
எங்கெங்கு சுவை வேண்டும்
அங்கங்கு அது தோன்றும்..........
Wherever sweetness is desired
There it appears
Wherever sweetness is desired
There it appears
நாடகத்தை மூடிவைக்கும் திரைச்சீலை
கதை ஆரம்பிக்கும் நேரத்திலே திறந்து கொள்ளும்
தேனருவி ஊறி வரும் இளஞ்சோலை
நீ தேடிவரும் வேலைக் கண்டு மயங்க வைக்கும்
என்னவோ இன்பமாம் இன்று வா பார்க்கலாம்
The curtain that covers the play
Opens when the story begins
A young garden where a stream of honey flows
Will mesmerize you when you come searching
They say it is bliss, come let us see today
எல்லோர்க்கும் போதை தரும்
இந்த தேவனின் திராட்சைக் கொடி
Gives intoxication to everyone
This divine grapevine
மங்கையரில் பொன்னழகி மகதலேனா
எந்த மாதும் இவள் காலடிக்கு ஈடுதானா
அங்கமெல்லாம் பொங்குவது இன்ப ஊற்று
நீ ஆடிவிடு ஓர் இரவு வந்து பார்த்து
கொஞ்சவா உன்னிடம் கொஞ்சம் வா என்னிடம்
கொஞ்சவா உன்னிடம் கொஞ்சம் வா என்னிடம்
A golden beauty among women, like Magdalene
Can any woman equal her feet?
A spring of bliss overflows from every part of her body
Come spend and dance for one night to see
Shall I coax you? Come to me a little
Shall I coax you? Come to me a little
எல்லோர்க்கும் போதை தரும்
இந்த தேவனின் திராட்சைக் கொடி
எப்போதுமே திறந்திருக்கும்
இவள் மாளிகை வாசல் படி
Gives intoxication to everyone
This divine grapevine
Always remains open
The doorstep of her palace
எங்கெங்கு சுவை வேண்டும்
அங்கங்கு அது தோன்றும்..........
எங்கெங்கு சுவை வேண்டும்
அங்கங்கு அது தோன்றும்..........
