கருடா கருடா
என் காதலைச் சொல்லிவிடு
திருடா திருடா
என் இதையத்தைத் திருப்பிக் கொடு
Oh Garuda, oh Garuda
Go convey my love
Oh thief, oh thief
Return my heart back to me
கருடா கருடா
என் காதலைச் சொல்லிவிடு
திருடா திருடா
என் இதையத்தைத் திருப்பிக் கொடு
Oh Garuda, oh Garuda
Go convey my love
Oh thief, oh thief
Return my heart back to me
அட உன் மனம் ரகசியப் புயலா
விரல் வெயிலா
நீ தொடுகையில் கொதிக்குது
கண்களில் இருப்பது சரியா வரை முறையா
உடல் இருபுறம் சிவக்குது
Ah, is your mind a secret storm?
Are your fingers like scorching sunshine?
Everything boils when you touch me
What is that lingering in your eyes?
Is it right, proper, or customary?
My body blushes on both sides
{யாயி யார் யாரோ
இது காதல் ஆராரோ }(2)
Oh, who is this stranger?
Is this a lullaby of love?
கருடா கருடா
என் காதலைச் சொல்லிவிடு
திருடா திருடா
என் இதையத்தைத் திருப்பிக் கொடு
Oh Garuda, oh Garuda
Go convey my love
Oh thief, oh thief
Return my heart back to me
மனமோகினி என் மடியில் வந்தால்
அடி சுகம் காணும் உன் தாவணி
என் கூட்டணி அதில் இணைந்தாலே நீ
நம் பிள்ளைகள் வரும் பேரணி
If that enchanting beauty arrives on my lap
Oh girl, your half-saree will know pure joy
If you join my alliance
A grand rally of our future children will arrive
எப்போதுமே அட என்மீது நீ
இறை கைவைத்து செய்யும்பணி
இன்ப கனவுக்குள்ளே என்னைச்
சிறை வைத்திடும்
அந்தக் கலையில் நீ கலைமாமணி
Always, ah, upon me you rest
Like a masterpiece hand-crafted by God
Imprisoning me inside a sweet dream
You are a master artist in that craft
உண்ணாத உணவுக்குச்
சுவையேதம்மா
கண்ணோடு இமை சேரத்
தடை ஏனம்மா
For food that hasn't been tasted
Where is the flavor, my dear?
For eyelids to meet eyes
Why is there an obstacle, girl?
முள்ளொன்று இல்லாமல்
கடிகாரமா
கல்யாணம் செய்யும் முன்
அதிகாரமா
Without hands/needles
Can it even be called a clock?
Before getting married
Is this authoritative dominance?
ஆரணி பட்டு நீயணி
நம் கல்யாணம்தானே இனி
Drape yourself in Aarani silk
From now on, it is our wedding indeed
கருடா கருடா
என் காதலைச் சொல்லிவிடு
திருடா திருடா
என் இதையத்தைத் திருப்பிக் கொடு
Oh Garuda, oh Garuda
Go convey my love
Male: Oh thief, oh thief
Return my heart back to me
செய்கூலியும் இல்லை
சேதாரமும் இல்லை
கோலாரு தங்கம் இது
கை வைத்துப் பார்
இந்தப் பெண்ணுக்குள்ளே
அட பொய்யான பாகம் எது
There are no making charges
There is no wastage either
This is pure Kolar gold
Touch and see for yourself
Inside this woman
Ah, which part could ever be artificial?
கண்ணே உனை
இங்கு எண்ணாத நாள்
நான் உண்ணாத நாள் அல்லவா
அன்பே அன்பே
உன் அங்கம் எங்கும்
என் அடையாளப் பொறி போடவா
Oh my dear, here, on the days I don't cherish you
The days I haven't counted
Are they not like days I went without food?
Oh beloved, oh beloved
All over your body
Shall I imprint my mark of love?
தீராத சந்தேகம்
உன் தாகமா
ஆராய்ச்சி செய்யத்தான்
என் தேகமா
Is this unending doubt
Your thirst?
Is my body meant only
For your research?
இல்லாத சொல்லுக்குப்
பொருள் ஏதம்மா
என் ஆசை முத்தத்தில்
முடிவேதம்மா
For a word that doesn't exist
Where is the meaning, my dear?
In my passionate kiss
Where is the end, my dear?
பூங்கிளி உன் பூங்கிளி
இந்தப் பூவுக்குள் பன்னீர் தெளி
Pretty bird, your pretty bird
Sprinkle rosewater inside this flower
கருடா கருடா
என் காதலைச் சொல்லிவிடு
திருடா திருடா
என் இதையத்தைத் திருப்பிக் கொடு
Oh Garuda, oh Garuda
Go convey my love
Female: Oh thief, oh thief
Return my heart back to me
அட உன் மனம் ரகசியப் புயலா
விரல் வெயிலா
நீ தொடுகையில் கொதிக்குது

Are your fingers like scorching sunshine?
Everything boils when you touch me
Female: What is that lingering in your eyes?
Is it right, proper, or customary?
My body blushes on both sides
யாயி யார் யாரோ
இது காதல் ஆராரோ
