மாஞ்சிட்டு மேடை போட்டு
மைக்செட்டு மாட்டினா
மாமாவை வளைச்சு போட
புதுதிட்டம் தீட்டினா
Setting up a decorated stage
She hooked up a loudspeaker set
To corner and captivate her uncle
She devised a brand new plan
ஆளான காலம் தொட்டு
உனக்காக ஏங்கினாள்
அன்னாடம் தூக்கம் கெட்டு
அனல் மூச்சு வாங்கினாள்
Ever since she came of age
She yearned deeply for you
Losing sleep day after day
She breathed fiery hot sighs
பச்சக்கிளி தன்னந்தனியே ஹஹ
இன்னும் என்னாச்சு
O lonely green parrot, haha
What else happened?
உச்சம் தலையில் வெச்ச மலரின்
வெப்பம் உண்டாச்சு

Generated heat from her longing
மயங்காதே மாலை மாத்த

Do not faint, to exchange garlands

.....................................
நீ சூட்டும் பூவுக்காக
நெடுங்கூந்தல் ஆடுது
நீ வைத்த பொட்டுக்காக
நடு நெத்தி வாடுது
For the flower you adorn her with
Her long tresses sway
For the bindi you put on her forehead
The middle of her brow yearns
ஆத்தாடி உன்னைத்தானே
உயிர் நாடி தேடுது
காவேரி எங்கே போகும்
கடலோடு கூடுது
Oh my, it is only you
That her pulse searches for
Where else will River Kaveri go?
It naturally merges with the ocean
அந்திப்பொழுதில்
தென்னங்கிளையில்
தென்றல் கூத்தாட
In the dusk among coconut fronds
As the gentle breeze plays around
மையல் எழுதி
மஞ்சக்குருவி
கையை கோர்த்தாட
Inscribing love, the yellow bird
Dances holding hands
அடங்காது ஆசைக்கொண்டு
நானும் போராட
உனக்கென பிறந்தவ
றெக்கைகட்டி பறந்தவ இவதான்
With uncontrollable desire
As I too struggle
She who was born for you
She is the one who flew in with wings
ஹ ஹ அஹா

மனசுக்கு பிடிச்சவ எவதான்
More than me, here for you
