A group of love flowers
காதல் மலர் கூட்டம் ஒன்று
வீதி வழி போகும் என்று
யாரோ சொன்னார் யாரோ சொன்னார்
Will pass through the street
Someone said so, someone said so
A group of love flowers
காதல் மலர் கூட்டம் ஒன்று
வீதி வழி போகும் என்று
யாரோ சொன்னார் யாரோ சொன்னார்
Will pass through the street
Someone said so, someone said so
From feet to hair
பாதம் முதல் கூந்தல் வரை
பால் வடியும் கிளிகள் என
பாதம் முதல் கூந்தல் வரை
பால் வடியும் கிளிகள் என
யாரோ சொன்னார் யாரோ சொன்னார்
Like innocent young parrots overflowing with innocence
From feet to hair
Like innocent young parrots overflowing with innocence
Someone said so, someone said so
A group of love flowers
காதல் மலர் கூட்டம் ஒன்று
வீதி வழி போகும் என்று
யாரோ சொன்னார் யாரோ சொன்னார்
Will pass through the street
Someone said so, someone said so
Vasantha from the lawyer's house
வக்கீல் ஆத்து வசந்தா
உன் மனதை எந்தன் வசந்தா
வக்கீல் ஆத்து வசந்தா
உன் மனதை எந்தன் வசந்தா
வட்ட கண்கள் சுழன்றாடிட
வாராய் எந்தன் விருந்தா
Make your heart my spring season
Vasantha from the lawyer's house
Make your heart my spring season
As your round eyes swirl around
Come as my guest
As the dress sways a little... Mala
ஆடை கொஞ்சம் அசைந்தா.......மாலா
ஆடை கொஞ்சம் அசைந்தா
உன் ஆசை கொஞ்சம் கலந்தா
நான் அணைப்பேன் கை கொடுப்பேன்
உன் விழியாலே வரந்தா
As the dress sways a little
As a little of your desire blends in
I will embrace you and hold your hand
Give me your boon through your eyes
A group of love flowers
காதல் மலர் கூட்டம் ஒன்று
வீதி வழி போகும் என்று
யாரோ சொன்னார் யாரோ சொன்னார்
Will pass through the street
Someone said so, someone said so
Jayanthi who returned from Japan
ஜப்பான் ரிடர்ன் ஜயந்தி
உன் மேனி வண்ணம் செவந்தி
ஜப்பான் ரிடர்ன் ஜயந்தி
உன் மேனி வண்ணம் செவந்தி
மெல்லப்பேசும் இதழ் பூவிலே
தேனை கொஞ்சம் அருந்தி
Your skin color is like a yellow chrysanthemum
Jayanthi who returned from Japan
Your skin color is like a yellow chrysanthemum
From the flower-like lips speaking softly
Sipping a little honey
Adjusting her hair... Meena
கூந்தல் தன்னை திருத்தி ..........மீனா
கூந்தல் தன்னை திருத்தி
உன் கொஞ்சும் கண்ணை நகர்த்தி
நான் அழைப்பேன் என் மனத்தில்
ஒரு மணமேடை அமர்த்தி
Adjusting her hair
Moving your playful eyes
I will welcome you inside my heart
Seating you on a wedding dais
A group of love flowers
காதல் மலர் கூட்டம் ஒன்று
வீதி வழி போகும் என்று
யாரோ சொன்னார் யாரோ சொன்னார்
Will pass through the street
Someone said so, someone said so
A body like pure gold
சொக்கத்தங்கம் ஒடம்பு
நீ சொல்லும் வார்த்தை கரும்பு
முத்துத் தேரும் பழத் தோட்டமும்
முன்னால் உண்டு திரும்பு
The words you speak are like sugarcane
A pearl chariot and a fruit garden
Are right ahead, turn around
Flower buds on a silver plate
வெள்ளி தட்டில் அரும்பு
நீ அள்ளி கொஞ்சம் வழங்கு
நான் வளைப்பேன் கை பிடிப்பேன்
என் மடி மீது மயங்கு
Gather and offer them to me
I will wrap my arms around you and hold your hands
Swoon in my lap
A group of love flowers
காதல் மலர் கூட்டம் ஒன்று
வீதி வழி போகும் என்று
யாரோ சொன்னார் யாரோ சொன்னார்
Will pass through the street
Someone said so, someone said so
