இப்போ என் ராஜாங்கம்தான்
நான் தொட்டாலே பொன்னாகுமே
நான் அறிவேன் உன் பூர்வாங்கம்தான்
நீ போடாதே கும்மாளமே
Now it is my kingdom
Whatever I touch turns into gold

புடிச்சேன் நான் புளியம்கொம்பே
என் பக்கம் வாடி புழியாத பூங்கரும்பே
மறச்சாலும் ஆகாதடி என் கண்ண விட்டு
மர்மங்கள் போகாதடி
I have caught hold of a strong tamarind branch
Come to my side, oh unpressed sweet sugarcane
Even if you hide, it will not escape my eyes
Mysteries will not remain hidden from me
மாயமென்னடி ஜாலமென்னடி
மாயமென்னடி ஜாலமென்னடி
துள்ளாதே வண்ண மானே
உன் ஜம்பம் செல்லாது வஞ்சித் தேனே
What is this illusion, what is this magic?
What is this illusion, what is this magic?
Do not bound around, colorful deer
Your pride will not work here, honey-like woman

நான் தொட்டாலே பொன்னாகுமே
நான் அறிவேன் உன் பூர்வாங்கம்தான்
நீ போடாதே கும்மாளமே

அடி இப்போ என் ராஜாங்கம்தான்
நான் தொட்டாலே பொன்னாகுமே
Hey, now it is my kingdom
Whatever I touch turns into gold
கடல் சேரும் அடிவானமே
உன் கன்னம் ரெண்டும் கடிக்காத பணியாரமே
நான் யாரு தெரிஞ்சாகணும்
என் செல்லக்குட்டி நீ யாரு புரிஞ்சாகனும்
Oh horizon where the ocean meets the sky
Both your cheeks are like untouched sweet snacks
You must come to know who I am
My darling, you must realize who you are
காலம் வந்தது நேரம் வந்தது
காலம் வந்தது நேரம் வந்தது
சந்தேகம் இப்ப தீரும் என் கூட
உன் தேகம் வந்து சேரும் அடி....
The time has arrived, the right moment has come
The time has arrived, the right moment has come
All doubts will be cleared now, with me
Your body will come and unite with mine
இப்போ என் ராஜாங்கம்தான்
