என்னுயிரே பொன்னொளியே
என் காதல் மன்னா உனைக் கண்டதே
Oh my life, oh golden light!
Oh my king of love, upon seeing you,
என்னுயிரே பொன்னொளியே
என் காதல் மன்னா உனைக் கண்டதே
Oh my life, oh golden light!
Oh my king of love, upon seeing you,
நெஞ்சு நெருப்பானதே என்ன செய்வேன்
வாராயோ பாலூட்டி அணைக்க
My heart has turned to fire, what shall I do?
Won't you come to feed me milk and embrace me?
என்னுயிரே பொன்னொளியே
Oh my life, oh golden light!
போதை நிறைந்த பெண் இன்று
பூவை நெருங்குங்கள் கைக்கொண்டு
பூவிதழ் தரும் கனி ரசம் இது
புது ரசம் இனி இதைவிட எது
ஆடவா.......என்னை கூடவா.....என் ராஜா........
Today, the woman filled with intoxication,
Approach this flower with your hands.
This is the fruit nectar offered by flower petals,
What new flavor could ever surpass this now?
Shall I dance... shall I join you... my king?
கண்கள் சிவந்தது உன்னாலே
என்னை மறந்து நீ செல்லாதே
இளமையின் சுகம் இருவரின் வசம்
சுவை மிகும் கனி தடையில்லை இனி
My eyes turned red because of you,
Do not walk away forgetting me.
The bliss of youth is under the control of us both,
A delicious fruit, there are no obstacles anymore.
போகலாம் கொஞ்சி பேசலாம் என் ராஜா வா
நீ.......எங்கே.......நான்......அங்கே.......
நீயின்றி நான் எங்கே............
We can go, we can speak affectionately, come my king!
Where you are, I am there,
Without you, where am I?
என்னுயிரே பொன்னொளியே
என் காதல் மன்னா உனைக் கண்டதே
நெஞ்சு நெருப்பானதே என்ன செய்வேன்
வாராயோ பாலூட்டி அணைக்க
Oh my life, oh golden light!
Oh my king of love, upon seeing you,
My heart has turned to fire, what shall I do?
Won't you come to feed me milk and embrace me?
என்னுயிரே பொன்னொளியே......
Oh my life, oh golden light!...
