{மேகத்தை ஊஞ்சலிட்டு ஆட வைத்த
மேனி இங்கே
மோகத்தை ஆடையிட்டு மூடி வைத்த
ராணி இங்கே} (2)
கொதிக்கும் கோடை தணிக்கும் வேளை
கடைக்கண் ஜாடை தொடுக்கும் பார்வை
The body that turned the cloud into a swing and wore it as attire
Is right here
The queen who wrapped her passion in modesty and covered it
Is right here
In the hour that quenches the scorching summer heat
The maiden who shoots glances from the corner of her eyes

வளைக் கைக்கொண்டு வளைக்கும் செண்டு
செவ்விளநீரை இடைத் தாங்கும் இளம் வாழைத்தண்டு
வளைக் கைக்கொண்டு வளைக்கும் செண்டு
செவ்விளநீரை இடைத் தாங்கும் இளம் வாழைத்தண்டு
மலர் தேன் உண்டு பனிக்கண் கொண்டு
தன் மகராஜன் குடியேற வரும் நேரம் இன்று
A flower stalk that bends gently under bangled hands
A young plantain stem supporting a waist delicate like tender coconut water
A flower stalk that bends gently under bangled hands
A young plantain stem supporting a waist delicate like tender coconut water
A chariot of flowers with eyes like drops of dew
Today is the moment for her emperor to move in and reside
கொடிக்குள் ஆடும் கனிக்குள் ஊறும்
இனிக்கும் சாரம் கிடைக்கும் காலம்
Swaying within the vine and welling up inside the fruit
This is the season when sweet essence is attained
ஆனந்த நாடகத்தை
ஆட வந்த பாத்திரங்கள்
ஆரம்ப நாளை
எண்ணி காத்திருக்கும் நேத்திரங்கள்
For this grand play of joy
The characters who arrived to perform
Awaiting the commencement day
These eyes wait counting down the time
காதல் சரித்திரத்தை படிக்க வந்தாயோ
ஆசை அரங்கேறி நடிக்க வந்தாயோ

Did you come to take the stage and act out your desire?
இயற்கை காட்சி நமக்கோர் சாட்சி
நம் ராஜாங்கம் நாள்தோறும் ரதிதேவன் ஆட்சி
இதழ் வாய் திறந்து எடுத்தேன் விருந்து
என் மலர்மேனி நோகாமல் மெதுவாக அருந்து
Nature's backdrop stands as our witness
In our kingdom, every day is ruled by the Lord of Love and Rathi
Opening my lips, I savored the feast
Sip gently without hurting my blossom-like body
பனிப்புல் மீது படுக்கைப்போட்டு
மணக்கும் கவிதை மனம்போல் தீட்டு
Making a bed upon the dew-drenched grass
Craft a priceless poem as your heart desires
மலைமேல் நின்று கலைமான் ஒன்று
உன் விழிப்பார்த்து விளங்காமல் வழிமாறும் இன்று
Standing atop the mountain, a majestic stag
Looks into your eyes, loses its way in confusion today
மழைநீர் கொண்டு முகில் போல் வந்து
செந்தளிர் பூவை தாலாட்டு தலைவா நீ இன்று
Coming like a water-laden rain cloud
Sing a lullaby to this tender blossom, my lord, today
சிலிர்க்கும் அங்கம் சிவக்கும் வண்ணம்
As the body thrills with goosebumps and blushes red
அணைக்கும்போது மயங்கும் மாது
காதல் சரித்திரத்தை படிக்க வாருங்கள்
ஆசை அரங்கேறி நடிக்க வாருங்கள்
The woman swoons in ecstasy upon being embraced
Come to read the history of love
Come to take the stage and act out your desire
