எந்தன் பொன்வண்ணமே
அன்பு பூவண்ணமே
எந்தன் பொன்வண்ணமே

நெஞ்சில் போராட்டமா கண்ணில் நீரோட்டமா
அதை நான் பார்க்கவா மனம்தான் தாங்குமா
My golden-hued one,
My lovely flower-like one,
My golden-hued one,
My lovely flower-like one,
Is there turmoil in your heart and tears flowing in your eyes?
Should I be forced to see that?
Can my heart endure it?
எந்தன் பொன்வண்ணமே
அன்பு பூவண்ணமே
My golden-hued one,
My lovely flower-like one,
கோவில் இல்லை என்றால் தெய்வம் இல்லை
இங்கே நீயில்லையேல் கண்ணே நானும் இல்லை
வானம் இல்லை என்றால் மதியும் இல்லை
உந்தன் வார்த்தை இல்லை என்றால் கீதம் இல்லை
நீ வந்ததால்தானே பூ வந்தது
நீ வாடினால் வண்ண பூ வாடுமே
என் ராஜாத்தி கண்ணே கலங்காதிரு
If there is no temple, there is no deity,
If you are not here, my dear, I do not exist either.
If there is no sky, there is no moon,
If there are no words from you, there is no melody.
Only because you arrived did the flower bloom,
If you wilt, the colorful blossom will wilt too.
My darling princess, do not be distressed.

My golden-hued one,
My lovely flower-like one,
பொன்னை கண்டேன் அதில் உன்னை கண்டேன்
காலை பொழுதை கண்டேன் இந்த கதிரை கண்டேன்
என்னை கண்டேன் நெஞ்சில் உறவை கண்டேன்
நீயும் இல்லை என்றால் நானும் எங்கே செல்வேன்
தாய் செய்ததே தவம் நாம் வந்தது
தாய் கொண்டதே வரம் நாம் வாழ்வது
என் ராஜாத்தி கண்ணே கலங்காதிரு
I saw gold and I saw you within it,
I saw the morning time and I saw this ray of sunlight,
I found myself and found a bond in my heart,
If you are not there, where will I go?
It is due to mother's penance that we came into being,
It is due to the boon mother received that we live.
My darling princess, do not be distressed.
எந்தன் பொன்வண்ணமே
அன்பு பூவண்ணமே
My golden-hued one,
My lovely flower-like one,
கள்ளம் இல்லை நெஞ்சில் கபடம் இல்லை
நாம் கண்ணீர் சிந்த ஒரு நியாயம் இல்லை
காலம் வரும் அந்த தெய்வம் வரும்
அந்த நாளும் வரும் நல்ல வாழ்வும் வரும்
காலம் தனை நான் மாற வைப்பென்
கண்ணே உனை நான் வாழ வைப்பென்
என் ராஜாத்தி கண்ணே கலங்காதிரு
There is no guile or deceit in your heart,
There is no justice in us shedding tears.
Time will change, and that God will come,
That auspicious day will arrive, and a good life will come.
I will make time itself change,
My dear, I will make you live a prosperous life.
My darling princess, do not be distressed.
