ஓராயிரம் காலம்
இந்த உள்ளம் ஒன்றாக
For a thousand years
May these hearts remain united
ஒன்றானவர் வாழ்வே
இன்ப வெள்ளம் என்றாக
May the life of those united
Become a flood of happiness
துணை தேடி வரும் போது
கண்ணில் என்ன நாணமோ
When seeking companionship and approaching
What is this shyness in the eyes?
குணம் நாட்டில் உருவான
பெண்மை என்ன கூறுமோ
Formed in the land of virtues
What does womanhood feel like?
திருநாள் வரும் அதோ பார்
தருவார் சுகம் இதோ பார்
திருநாள் வரும் அதோ பார்
தருவார் சுகம் இதோ பார்
Look, the auspicious day is coming
பொன் மாலையில்
Look, he will grant happiness right here
பூமாலையை
Look, the auspicious day is coming
நெஞ்சில் சூடவோ
Look, he will grant happiness right here
சூடவோ
In the golden evening
சூடவோ
As a garland of flowers
இனியவனே என்று பாடி வந்தேன்
இனி அவன்தான் என்று ஆகிவிட்டேன்
Shall I adorn it on my heart?
தாலாட்டிடும் நெஞ்சம்
தன்னைத் தங்கம் என்றானோ
Shall I adorn it?
பாராட்டிடும் இன்பம்
தன்னை மங்கை கண்டாளோ
Shall I adorn it?
நினைத்தாலும் சுகம் தானே
இந்த நெஞ்சின் காவியம்
I came singing of him as the sweet one
Now I have become entirely his
கொடுத்தாலும் நலம் தானே
என்னைக் கொஞ்சும் ஓவியம்
The lulling heart
Did he call her gold?
இதழால் உடல் அளந்தாள்
The joy of praising
Did the lady embrace it?
இவளோ தன்னை மறந்தாள்
Even thinking of it brings pleasure
This epic of the heart
இதழால் உடல் அளந்தாள்
Even if given away, it brings good
The painting that caresses me
இவளோ தன்னை மறந்தாள்
If she measures the body with her lips
ஏனென்பதை
She forgets herself
யார் சொல்வது
If she measures the body with her lips
இன்னும் மௌனமேன்
She forgets herself
மௌனமேன்
Why it happens
மௌனமேன்
Who can say?
இனியவளே என்று பாடி வந்தேன்
இனியவள்தான் என்று ஆகி விட்டேன் ..
இன்பமெல்லாம் ஏந்தி வரும் இளமை கொண்டவள்
Why still this silence?
ஆ....லாலாலலா ஓஹோஹஓஹோ
ஓஹ்ஹோ ஓஹ்ஹோ....ஓஹ்ஹோ ஓஹ்ஹோ.....
Why silence?
