காதல் சுயம்வரம் இடையில் அவசரம்
சங்கீதம் நான்தான் இங்கே

{மாறன் கணைகள் பாயும்
மார்பில் விளைந்த காயம்
எனை பாடாய் படுத்த
மனம் பாகாய் உருக} (2)
As Cupid's arrows pierce through,
A wound of love blossoms upon my chest.
Tormenting me constantly,
Melting my heart like sweet syrup.
உடை கூட சுமையாக
நகை கூட பகையாக
அம்மம்மா........லாலாலலலலாலா.....
Even my attire feels like a heavy burden,
Even my ornaments feel like an enemy.
Oh my... lalalalalala lalalala.
காதல் சுயம்வரம் இடையில் அவசரம்
சங்கீதம் நான்தான் இங்கே
எனது நாதம் நீதான் அங்கே
Love is choosing one's own destiny, filled with sudden urgency.

And you are my resonance over there.
மோகம் தலையில் ஏற
மோதும் உணர்ச்சி மீற
பகல் போலே இரவா
பக்கம் வா வா தலைவா} (2)
As passion rushes to my head,
Surging feelings cross all boundaries.
Is this night turning bright like daytime?
Come close to me, my beloved leader.
இனிமேலும் தாங்காது
இரு கண்ணும் தூங்காது
அம்மம்மா........ஆஆஹ் ஆஹ்ஹ ஆஆஹ்ஹ
I can bear this longing no longer,
Both my eyes refuse to sleep.
Oh my... aaaha ahaha aa aahaha.
காதல் சுயம்வரம் இடையில் அவசரம்
