ராஜனம்மா ஓஹோ
This pleasant gentle breeze
Will now blow looking at me
I am the king of kings, oh dear! Ohoo..
அன்பு ராஜ்ஜியம்
ஒன்று என் கைகளில்
வந்தது இன்று உன்
ராஜாங்கம் செல்லாததம்மா
ஓஹோ
A kingdom of love
Has come into my hands today
Your reign will no longer work here, oh dear! Ohoo..

Desires have gathered

An heir has been born

சொல்லாத ஆசை
ஒன்னு நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே
இருக்கு உன்னோடு வென்று
அதை முடித்திடுவேன்
An unspoken desire
Is inside the heart
I will achieve and finish it by winning with you
கண்ணா உன்
குறும்புக்கு வச்சிருக்கேன்
கணக்கு எப்போதும் உன்னை
இங்கு தொடர்ந்திடுவேன்
My dear, for your mischief
I have kept an account
Always you here
I will follow
அன்பு சொந்தத்துக்கும்
முத்துமணி மாலை ஆச்சி
சொத்து சுகம்
அத்தனைக்கும் நான் ஆச்சு

அன்பினாலே துள்ளும்
இல்லம் சொர்க்கம் போல் ஆச்சு
Even for loving family
A pearl necklace was made
Male : For all property and happiness
I have become the master

Has become like heaven

கன்னம் செவந்திருக்கு
காரணங்கள் யாரடியோ
மச்சான் காரியத்த பாரடியோ
This royal jasmine flower
Its cheeks have turned red
Who could be the reason, dear girl?
Look at what cousin/brother-in-law did!
நான் போடும்
வட்டத்துக்குள் உன்னைச்
சுற்றி வளைப்பேன்
வேலியை தாண்டிச்
செல்ல முடியாது
Inside the circle I draw
I will encircle you
You cannot go beyond the boundary
ஆஹா பூவினை
போல உன்னை மெல்ல
மெல்ல பறிப்பேன்
வண்டுக்கு சட்டம் போட
கூடாது
Aha.. like a flower, you
Gently, gently I will pluck
You shouldn't lay down laws for the beetle
அந்த வெண்ணிலவு
தோளில் வந்து கைகள் போடும்
தென்றல் வந்து வாசல்
எங்கும் பூ தூவும்
குழு :
வானம் பூமி யாவும்
எங்கள் தங்க தேரோடு
That bright moon comes on the shoulder
And puts its arms around
Male : The breeze comes across the doorstep
And scatters flowers

Rides with our golden chariot
