Set up the bed for love to play, my darling
Put up the cradle for the pure son to play, my darling
எண்ணங்களின் இன்ப நடனம்

காதல் விளையாட கட்டிலிடு கண்ணா
தூய மகனாட தொட்டிலிடு கண்ணா.........
The joyful dance of thoughts

செந்தூர சிங்காரம்
கொண்டாடும் பெண்ணுக்கு
என் உள்ளம் சொர்க்கம் தரும்
செவ்வாயின் மீது ஊறும்
தேனாற்றில் நானாட
பொல்லாத வெட்கம் வரும்
Adorned with vermilion beauty
For the woman who celebrates
My heart will offer heaven
Flowing over the reddish lips
To bathe in the river of honey
A mischievous shyness comes over
கண்ணோடு கண்ணோக்கி
பண்பான பெண் கொண்ட
காளைக்கு மோகம் வரும்
அன்பான மாப்பிள்ளை
ஒன்றாகும் நேரத்தில்
ஆசைக்குள் அச்சம் வரும்
Looking eye to eye
Possessed by a cultured woman
The young man feels passion
The loving bridegroom
At the time when they unite
Fear creeps into desire
மண்ணில் வளர் தங்கமலர்கள்
பெண் கொண்ட காதல்
பெருமை என எழுதும்.......
Golden flowers growing on earth
The love held by a woman
Will write as her pride
காதல் விளையாட கட்டிலிடு கண்ணே
தூய மகனாட தொட்டிலிடு கண்ணே
Set up the bed for love to play, my darling
Put up the cradle for the pure son to play, my darling
செவ்வானக் கோலங்கள்
சீராட்டும் மேகங்கள்
பொன்னூஞ்சல் போடட்டுமே
ஜில்லென்று பூங்காற்று
பல்லாண்டு நாம் வாழ
தெம்மாங்கு பாடட்டுமே
Crimson sky patterns
Clouds that caress tenderly
May they set up a golden swing
Let the cool gentle breeze
Wish us a long life
And sing a sweet folk melody
நீராட்டு தீராமல்
தேரோட்டும் புஷ்பங்கள்
பாராட்டி பேசட்டுமே
நேராக கிள்ளைகள் ஆராத்தி தட்டோடு
தாலாட்டு பாடட்டுமே
Without the bath of love ending
Flowers steering the chariot
May they speak in praise
Let parrots directly come with a prayer platter
And sing a sweet lullaby
என்றும் இது நின்று நிலவும்
என் வாழ்க்கை வானம்
இனிமையுடன் திகழும்
This will endure forever
The sky of my life
Will shine with sweetness
காதல் விளையாட
கட்டிலிடு கண்ணே
தூய மகனாட
தொட்டிலிடு கண்ணே....

Poetic devices
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Ponnoonjal podattumae / Themmaangu paadattumae / Paaraatti pesattumae”
The repetitive suffix '-attumae' at the end of successive lines creates a rhythmic, musical flow.
Uruvagam (Metaphor)
“En vaazhkkai vaanam”
Life is metaphorically compared to a sky (Vaazhkkai vaanam), symbolizing vastness and beauty filled with sweet moments.
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Sevvaana kolangal / Seeraattum megangal”
Repetition of the initial sound 'Se-' across consecutive lines enhances the poetic auditory appeal.
