இங்கே உன்னாசை மாங்கனி
உறவைக் கொண்டாடுது
எம்மா என் மேனி வாடுது
அங்கங்கள் தள்ளாடுது
Here, your desired mango sweetheart,
Celebrates intimacy.
Oh my, my body languishes,
My limbs sway with longing.
ஆடுதே இந்த மல்லிகை மொட்டு
பாடுதே இங்கு மன்மத சிட்டு
ராஜாத்திக்கு ஒண்ணும் வெட்கம் இல்லை
ராஜாவுக்கு இங்கு இன்பம் கொள்ளை
நாள்தோறும் திருநாள் தானே
This jasmine bud dances,
The bird of Cupid sings here.
The queen has no shyness at all,
For the king, happiness is unbounded here.
Every day is indeed a celebration!

தொட்டால் பட்டாகும் பூ இது
செந்தேன் சிந்தாதது
கண்ணால் சொல் வீசும் மீனிது
முள்ளே இல்லாதது
This flower turns to silk when touched,
Spilling pure sweet honey.
This is a fish whose eyes speak words,
A flower devoid of thorns.
ஆயிரம் கண்கள் ஓரிடம் வந்து
தேவதை என்று சாட்சிகள் சொல்லும்
கீதாஞ்சலி மெல்ல சொல்லும் கிள்ளை
வேதாந்தமோ இங்கு காதல் எல்லை
நாள்தோறும் திருநாள் தானே
A thousand eyes gather in one place,
Witnesses declare her to be an angel.
The parrot gently recites devotion,
Here, love's horizon reaches philosophy.
Every day is indeed a celebration!
