என் நெஞ்சிலே வந்ததே பாட்டு
உன் கண்களில் சம்மதம் கேட்டு
நீ தென்றலென வந்து அணைத்தால் போதுமே
வான் மேகங்களில் நெஞ்சம் பறந்தே போகுமே
மொட்டுக்கள் திறக்கட்டுமே....
A song came into my heart
Seeking consent from your eyes
It is enough if you come like a gentle breeze and embrace me
My heart will fly away among the sky clouds
Let the flower buds open up
என் நெஞ்சிலே வந்ததே பாட்டு
உன் கண்களில் சம்மதம் கேட்டு
நீ தென்றலென வந்து அணைத்தால் போதுமே
வான் மேகங்களில் நெஞ்சம் பறந்தே போகுமே
மொட்டுக்கள் திறக்கட்டுமே....
A song came into my heart
Seeking consent from your eyes
It is enough if you come like a gentle breeze and embrace me
My heart will fly away among the sky clouds
Let the flower buds open up
ஹே மல்லிகை அருகினில் வா என்றது
நீ வந்ததும் மனமிது ஏன் துள்ளுது
ஹோ மோகம் உனை முத்தாடுது
தேகம் துணை கேட்டாடுது
Hey, the jasmine called me to come closer
Female: Why does my heart leap now that you have arrived?
Male: Oh, passion kisses you
The body sways, seeking companionship
கண்ணா இதை யார் சொன்னது
எந்தன் மனம் யார் கண்டது
பூங்கொடியை தென்றல் அறியும்
என் மனது உன்னை அறியும்
Darling, who said this?
Who saw my heart?
Male: The gentle breeze knows the flowering creeper
My heart knows you
போதும் விளக்கம் அது புரியும் எனக்கும்
ஹேய் வாழும் வரைக்கும்
அதில் ஆசையிருக்கும்
தேவியே பாடவா மோக ராகம்
That explanation is enough, I understand it too
Male: Hey, as long as life lasts
Desire will remain within
Goddess, shall I sing the ragam of passion?
என் நெஞ்சிலே வந்ததே பாட்டு
உன் கண்களில் சம்மதம் கேட்டு
நீ தென்றலென வந்து அணைத்தால் போதுமே
வான் மேகங்களில் நெஞ்சம் பறந்தே போகுமே
மொட்டுக்கள் திறக்கட்டுமே....
A song came into my heart
Male: Seeking consent from your eyes
Female: It is enough if you come like a gentle breeze and embrace me
Male: My heart will fly away among the sky clouds
Female: Let the flower buds open up
பொன் மாளிகை அழகினை பார் என்றது
பொன் வீதியில் மன்மதன் தேர் வந்தது
ரோஜா மலர் செண்டாடுது ராஜா மனம் பந்தாடுது
வஞ்சிக் கொடி நின்றாடுது தஞ்சமென மன்றாடுது
It asked to look at the beauty of the golden palace
Male: Manmathan's chariot arrived on the golden street
Female: The rose flower sways, the royal heart bounces like a ball
Male: The slender vine-like maiden sways, pleading for refuge
பூவெடுத்து மாலை தொடுக்க
நீ வரலாம் தேதி குறிக்க
தொட்டுப் பிடிப்போம்
புது சொர்க்கம் அமைப்போம்
To pick flowers and weave a garland
You can come and fix a date
Male: We will hold hands
We will create a new heaven
சோலைக் குயில் போல்
வனம் சுற்றிக் கிடப்போம்
தேவனே பாடவா மோக ராகம்
Like a grove cuckoo
We will roam around the forest
Lord, shall I sing the ragam of passion?
என் நெஞ்சிலே வந்ததே பாட்டு
உன் கண்களில் சம்மதம் கேட்டு
நீ தென்றலென வந்து அணைத்தால் போதுமே
வான் மேகங்களில் நெஞ்சம் பறந்தே போகுமே
மொட்டுக்கள் திறக்கட்டுமே....
