Squeezing the essence of the fruit of divine wisdom,
Oh golden deer, grant me the boon of being free from rebirth!
Singing bhajans with devotion and musical notes,

எந்தனிடது தோளும் கண்கள் துடிப்பதென்ன
இன்பம் வருகுதென்று
சுனோ சுனோ பண கேப் ராணி

Why is my worshipping left eye twitching so?
Is it signaling that happiness is about to arrive?
Listen, listen, oh captivating queen!
ராதே உனக்குக் கோபம் ஆகாதடி
ஆவாராஹாம்....ஆவாராஹாம்..கா கா கா
கொஞ்சும் புறாவே நெஞ்சோடு நெஞ்சம்
ஜெகமெங்கினும் உறவாடிடும் ஜாலமிதேனோ
Oh Radha, anger does not suit you at all!
Aavarahaam aavarahaam ka ka ka!
Oh cooing dove, heart aligned to heart,
What is this magic of love resonating across the entire world?
ஆடுவோமே பள்ளு பாடுவோமோ
