Jasmine that has budded
Maiden who touched it
Towards the breeze that came close
She stepped away further and further
What will become of this longing?

மொட்டுவிட்ட மல்லிகை
தொட்டுவிட்ட கன்னிகை
கிட்ட வந்த தென்றலை
எட்டி எட்டி சென்றது
ஏக்கம் என்னாவது......
ஏக்கம் என்னாவது
Is it a child born to a mother?
No, no, my precious darling
Should I ask to spread the bed?
Make me do so, this golden jewel
Desire is mischievous
தத்தை பெற்ற பிள்ளையோ
அல்ல அல்ல கண்மணி
மெத்தை இட சொல்வதோ
என்னை இந்த பொன்மணி
மோகம் பொல்லாதது
The couch was created for you to cuddle
Shyness was born for me to plead
Male: Am I the shy breeze to the maiden flower?
Am I the bashful cloud to the golden moon?
Chorus: Here, here, here
மஞ்சம் பிறந்தது நீதான் கொஞ்ச
நாணம் பிறந்தது நான்தான் கொஞ்ச
கன்னி மலருக்கு நானா தென்றல்
மஞ்சள் நிலவுக்கு நானா மேகம்
