கல்லில் பூவெடுப்போம்
காற்றில் நாரெடுப்போம்
கல்லில் பூவெடுப்போம்
காற்றில் நாரெடுப்போம்
We will pluck flowers from stone,
We will extract fiber from the wind,
We will pluck flowers from stone,
We will extract fiber from the wind,
இங்கே சட்டமுண்டு திட்டமுண்டு
எங்களுக்குள் மட்டும் உண்டு ஆடு
Here there are rules and plans,
Exclusive to us alone, so dance!
அடி வெட்கத்தை விட்டோடி
அந்த சொர்க்கத்தை கொண்டாடி........
அடி வெட்கத்தை விட்டோடி
அந்த சொர்க்கத்தை கொண்டாடி........
Hey girl, cast away your shame and run,
Celebrate that heaven!
Hey girl, cast away your shame and run,
Celebrate that heaven!
எங்கே பார்த்தாலும் தங்கக் கட்டி ...
அடி இன்பம் கொண்டாடு கண்ணைக் கட்டி
பச்சை மொட்டுக்கள் கச்சை கட்டி
நல்ல பாடல் பாடட்டும் தாளம் தட்டி
Wherever you look, there are gold bars,
Hey, celebrate pleasure blindfolded!
Green buds tied in sashes,
Let them sing a good song, beating the rhythm!
..............................
மங்கை இங்கேதான் தனியாக நின்றாள்
வங்கக் கடல் தாண்டி மாப்பிள்ளை வந்தான்
அடி ஹாங்காங் தந்த கட்டில் உண்டு
பேங்காங் தந்த மெத்தை கொண்டு போடு
The young woman stood here alone,
Crossing the Bay of Bengal, the groom arrived!
Hey, there is a bed gifted by Hong Kong,
Bring and spread the mattress gifted by Bangkok!
அடி வெட்கத்தை விட்டோடி
அந்த சொர்க்கத்தை கொண்டாடி........
அடி வெட்கத்தை விட்டோடி
அந்த சொர்க்கத்தை கொண்டாடி..
Hey girl, cast away your shame and run,
Celebrate that heaven!
Hey girl, cast away your shame and run,
Celebrate that heaven!
..............................
சலவைக் கல்லாலே அறையைக் கட்டி
சரச படம் போட்டேன் கலைகள் கொட்டி
நீச்சல் குளமொன்றை நடுவில் கட்டி
நீந்தப் போறாடி அழகுக் குட்டி
Building a room with fine marble,
I put up romantic pictures filled with art,
Constructing a swimming pool right in the middle,
Fight and swim through it, beautiful girl!
..............................
மானம் போனாலும் வருமானம் உண்டு
மங்கை உனக்காக வெகுமானம் உண்டு
அடி நீயும் உண்டு அவரும் உண்டு
நாலு பக்கம் சுவரும் உண்டு ஆடு....
Even if honor is lost, there is income,
Young maiden, there is a reward waiting for you!
Hey, you are here and he is here,
With walls on all four sides, so dance!
அடி வெட்கத்தை விட்டோடி
அந்த சொர்க்கத்தை கொண்டாடி........
அடி வெட்கத்தை விட்டோடி
அந்த சொர்க்கத்தை கொண்டாடி........

The lyrics use bold hyperbole—such as plucking flowers from stone or pulling thread from the air—to symbolize accomplishing the impossible and breaking conventional social barriers in pursuit of worldly pleasures and material gain.
