இந்த ராஜா மனசுலதான் ரகசியமாக
இந்த ராணி இடம் பிடிச்சா அதிசயமாக
In this king's heart, secretly
This queen captured a place, miraculously
இனி ஜம்ஜம் காணும் காதல் நிஜம்
இள நெஞ்சம் வாசப் பூ மஞ்சம்
Now, the grand love seen is real
The young heart is a fragrant bed of flowers
தினம் தம்தம் ஊறும் தேவாம்ருதம்
இந்த சொந்தம் கோடி ஆனந்தம்
Daily, divine nectar flows abundantly
This relationship brings ten million joys
இந்த ராஜா மனசுலதான் ரகசியமாக
இந்த ராணி இடம் பிடிச்சா அதிசயமாக
In this king's heart, secretly
This queen captured a place, miraculously
ஆடை என்னும் பூட்டாலே
மேனி வீட்டைப் பூட்டாதே
பூட்டிப் பூட்டிக் காட்டாமல்
மோகத் தீயை மூட்டாதே
With the lock called clothing
Do not lock up the home of your body
Without locking and hiding it
Do not kindle the fire of desire
பாதி என்னைப் பார்த்தாலே
பாவம் கொஞ்சம் தீராதா
மீதி என்னை நீ பார்க்க
வேளை ஒன்று வாராதா
If you look at half of me
Wouldn't my longing be somewhat relieved?
For you to look at the rest of me
Won't a time come soon?
புது வீணை நுனி விரல் மீட்ட
எதிர்ப்பார்க்கும் ஸ்ருதி லயம் கூட்ட
மெல்ல ஏந்து ஏந்து மடியினில்
As fingertips pluck a new veena
Increasing the expected tune and rhythm
Female: Slowly lift me onto your lap
இந்த ராஜா மனசுலதான் ரகசியமாக
இந்த ராணி இடம் பிடிச்சா அதிசயமாக
Now, the grand love seen is real
The young heart is a fragrant bed of flowers
இனி ஜம்ஜம் காணும் காதல் நிஜம்
இள நெஞ்சம் வாசப் பூ மஞ்சம்
Daily, divine nectar flows abundantly
This relationship brings ten million joys
தினம் தம்தம் ஊறும் தேவாம்ருதம்
இந்த சொந்தம் கோடி ஆனந்தம்
In this king's heart, secretly
This queen captured a place, miraculously
இந்த ராஜா மனசுலதான் ரகசியமாக
இந்த ராணி இடம் பிடிச்சா அதிசயமாக
Upon the shoulders of the Pandiyan king
You are the Vaigai river that flows
Blooming with Parijaatha flowers
You are the heavenly lake
பாண்டியனின் தோள் மீது
பாய வந்த வைகை நீ
பாரிஜாதப் பூப்பூக்கும்
தேவலோக பொய்கை நீ
Oh my deer, this is the rainy season
I need this waist to shelter me like an umbrella
Female: Come close, my lord, take me
வைகை நல்ல நாள் பார்த்து
கை வை என்று சொல்லாதோ
கைகள் மெல்ல வைத்தாலே
தை தை என்று துள்ளாதோ
In this king's heart, secretly
This queen captured a place, miraculously
அடி மானே இது மழைக்காலம்
குடைப் போலே இந்த இடை வேணும்
பக்கம் வா வா தேவா எடுத்துக்கோ
Now, the grand love seen is real
The young heart is a fragrant bed of flowers
இந்த ராஜா மனசுலதான் ரகசியமாக
இந்த ராணி இடம் பிடிச்சா அதிசயமாக
Daily, divine nectar flows abundantly
