இது மானோடு மயிலாடும் காடு
புது தேனோடு மலராடும் வீடு
இது மானோடு மயிலாடும் காடு
புது தேனோடு மலராடும் வீடு
மாலை வந்தாலே மோகம் உண்டாகும்
காதல் கண்கள் படும் நேரம்
This is a forest where peacocks dance alongside deer
This is a home where flowers dance with fresh honey

பன்னீரின் மேலே ரோஜாவைப் போலே....ஏ...
பன்னீரின் மேலே ரோஜாவைப் போலே
பால் மேனி சதிராடுதே.....ஏ.....
Like a rose floating on rosewater...
Like a rose floating on rosewater...
Her milky body dances with grace...
கனியாய் கனிந்து
கனவில் மிதந்து
இளமை விருந்து இதழில் அருந்து
Ripening sweet like a fruit
Floating in a dream
Sip the feast of youth from the lips
பார்வை பூவாலே
பட்டு மெத்தை போட்டாளே
பருவம் ராகம் பாடாதோ ஹோய்
With a flower-like gaze
She laid out a bed of silk
Won't youth sing a melody? Hoi!
இது மானோடு மயிலாடும் காடு
This is a forest where peacocks dance alongside deer
புது தேனோடு மலராடும் வீடு
This is a home where flowers dance with fresh honey
உன் மூச்சு என் மேல்
படுகின்றபோது
உன் மூச்சு என் மேல்
படுகின்றபோது
என் மூச்சும் சூடாகுதே
When your breath...
Touches upon me...
When your breath...
Touches upon me
My breath turns warm as well
கொதித்தால் என்னம்மா
குயிலே கண்ணம்மா
அணைத்தே அள்ளம்மா
அழகே செல்லம்மா
So what if it boils over, my dear?
My cuckoo, my beloved Kannamma
Embrace me tightly, my darling
My beautiful, precious one
மேகம் நீ தானே
மின்னல் கொடி நான் தானே
மடி மேல் வா வா மீன் போலே ஹோய்
You are the cloud
I am the streak of lightning
Come onto my lap like a fish, hoi!
இது மானோடு மயிலாடும் காடு
புது தேனோடு மலராடும் வீடு
This is a forest where peacocks dance alongside deer
This is a home where flowers dance with fresh honey
மாலை வந்தாலே
மோகம் உண்டாகும்
காதல் கண்கள் படும் நேரம்
When evening comes
Passion arises
It is the time when loving eyes meet
