இதழில் அமுதம் தினமும்
பருக வா வா
கொடியில் உறங்கும் மலரே
எழுந்து வா வா
Nectar on the lips every day,
Come to drink, come come.
Oh flower sleeping on the creeper,
Wake up and come, come.
நான்தானே நீ
நீதானே நான்
அன்பே ஓடி வா ஓடி வா
I am indeed you,
You are indeed me,
My love, run and come, run and come.

நிலாச் சாலையில் ஓடி
விழா காணுவேன் ஜோடி
Running along the path of moonlight,
As a couple, I will celebrate a festival.
இடை தேடுமே கைதான்
உடை என்பதும் பொய்தான்
The hand searches for the waist,
Even clothing becomes an illusion.
ஆடை மீறுதே பெண்மை
ஆசை மீறுதே உண்மை
ஆடை மீறுதே பெண்மை
ஆசை மீறுதே உண்மை
Womanhood overflows beyond garments,
The truth is that desire overflows.
Womanhood overflows beyond garments,
The truth is that desire overflows.
உனை நான் நினைத்தால்
உடையும் நழுவிடாதோ
If I think of you,
Won't clothes slip away?
மேலுடை நானடி ஹோய்
I am your upper garment, my dear!
இதழில் அமுதம் தினமும்
பருக வா வா
Nectar on the lips every day,
Come to drink, come come.
கொடியில் உறங்கும் மலரே

Wake up and come, come.

மனம் மாறுதே மோகம்
நிறம் மாறுதே தேகம்
The mind changes with infatuation,
The body changes its glow.
தினம் ஆயிரம் வீதம்
முத்தம் தந்திடு போதும்
In a thousand different ways daily,
Just give me kisses, that will suffice.
அது எப்படி போதும்
இது மார்கழி மாதம்
அது எப்படி போதும்
இது மார்கழி மாதம்
How could that ever be enough?
This is the chilly month of Margazhi!
How could that ever be enough?
This is the chilly month of Margazhi!
உனை நான் அணைத்தால்
இதயம் நொறுங்கிடாதோ
If I embrace you,
Won't the heart crumble?
ஆகட்டும் பார்க்கலாம் வா....
Let it happen, let us see, come!
இதழில் அமுதம் தினமும்
