நல்லதுக்கு காலமில்லே செய்த
நன்றிக்கு கைம்மாறு இல்லே இந்த
நாரியர்கள் கூட்டத்தையே
நம்புவதில் லாபமில்லே.......
ம்ம்..ஏனாம்....
There is no good time to do good deeds,
Nor is there any return for the gratitude owed.
Trusting this entire group of women
Yields no profit or benefit at all...
Female: Mmmm mm, what is it?
காரியம் முடிஞ்சதும் கம்பி நீட்டுறே
கண்ணம்மா அடி கண்ணம்மா.....
இந்த காளையை விட்டு நீயும் பிரிஞ்சது என்னம்மா
Running away once the job is done,
Oh Kannamma, hey Kannamma...
Why did you separate yourself from this brave young man?
Female: Oh my!

சீறி செல்லவே முடியாது கொஞ்சம் நில்லம்மா
அழகு மேடையில் ஏறும் மேனகையே
அடி செல்லம்மா..செல்லம்மா..ஆஆ ..
அடி செல்லம்மா....
சீறி செல்லவே முடியாது கொஞ்சம் நில்லம்மா
அழகு மேடையில் ஏறும் மேனகையே
அடி செல்லம்மா.
உன்னை மீட்டு வந்தவனை ஆட்டம் காட்டாதே
மின்னல் வெட்டு போல் ஓட்டம் காட்டாதே
செல்லம்மா கொஞ்சம் நில்லம்மா
பதில் சொல்லம்மா........
சரிதான்....

சவாரி குதிரையில் டபாய்க்க பார்த்தது சரிதானா
கண்ணே சரிதானா.....
இந்த ஜவானை நீயும் தவறாய் நெனச்சதும் முறைதானா
ஹும் கும்

குலுக்கு நடையிலே போடுவேன் ராஸ்தா..

Oh sweet nightingale bird fit for a royal coat, my king,
With a swaying gait, I will pave the path!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful song from 'Magale Un Samathu' (1964) depicts a lighthearted romantic banter between lovers. The male protagonist playfully teases his beloved for running away as soon as her task was accomplished, humorously lamenting how ungrateful she seems after he rescued her. He compares her to a celestial nymph and urges her to stop and answer him instead of darting away like lightning. As the song progresses, the tone shifts into sweet romantic reassurance. The lover reminds her that their hearts are as inextricably linked as fragrance is to a flower, and as seamlessly blended as pure sandalwood paste. Their eyes have spoken and nurtured a deep love, making any thought of separation impossible.
