Inside this king's heart, so secretly,
this queen has wonderfully made a place for herself.
From now on, in grand style, our love becomes real.
This young heart is a bed of fragrant flowers.
Every day, divine nectar flows sweetly.
This togetherness brings endless joy.
Inside this king's heart, so secretly,
this queen has wonderfully made a place for herself.
With a lock made of clothes,
do not lock up the house of your body.
By keeping it locked and hidden,
do not kindle the fire of desire.
If you just look at half of me,
won't that craving be eased a bit?
For you to see the rest of me,
won't the right time soon arrive?
As fingertips gently pluck the new veena (stringed instrument),
it waits to blend melody and rhythm together.
Female: Gently hold me, hold me on your lap.
From now on, in grand style, our love becomes real.
This young heart is a bed of fragrant flowers.
Every day, divine nectar flows sweetly.
This togetherness brings endless joy.
Inside this king's heart, so secretly,
this queen has wonderfully made a place for herself.
To flow upon the shoulders of the Pandiya king,
you are the Vaigai river.
Where sacred Parijatha flowers bloom,
you are that heavenly pool.
Oh my deer, this is the rainy season,
and I need your slender waist like an umbrella.
Female: Come close, my beloved, take what is yours.
Inside this king's heart, so secretly,
this queen has wonderfully made a place for herself.
From now on, in grand style, our love becomes real.
This young heart is a bed of fragrant flowers.
Every day, divine nectar flows sweetly.
This togetherness brings endless joy.
Inside this king's heart, so secretly,
Male: this queen has wonderfully made a place for herself.

Through vibrant imagery, the lovers express their longing, intimacy, and deep affection for one another.

Rendered by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and K. S. Chithra, the song captures the essence of romantic bliss and playful courtship.
