Oh darling, oh beautiful-eyed one
Shall I come near you, my beauty?
Oh precious gem, oh grand beauty
Shall I cuddle you, oh beauty with a golden smile?
கண்மணியே கண்ணழகே
வந்திடவா உன்னருகே அழகே
பொன்மணியே பேரழகே
கொஞ்சிடவா பொன்சிரிப்பே அழகே
In the words of the smiling flower-like girl
Shyly, I forget myself completely
As the maiden swayed me with her subtle gestures
A rain pouring a crore of kisses
புன்னகைத்த பூ மகளின் வார்த்தையில்
நாணம் கொண்டு நானும் என்னை மறக்கிறேன்
ஜாடை காட்டி பாவை என்னை சாய்த்ததில்
கோடி முத்தம் கொட்டும் மழை
Bonded in my heart, with my dreams
You merged, oh my beloved
With a playful, stealing smile
Oh pearl-like beauty who speaks stories
நெஞ்சில் உறவாடி கனவோடு
கலந்தாயே கண்மணியே
கலவாடும் சிரிப்போடு
கதை பேசும் முத்தழகே
To get lost in you
My heart yearns
Millions of desires remain within
Tell me what they are, oh tender flower-like girl
Will these eyes ever forget?
Just by your presence
Love showers down endlessly
Without flinging shyness away, I am asking for a kiss
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
நேரம் எல்லாம் நீதானே
நெசமான சித்திரமே
உயிரெல்லாம் உன் வாசம்
விலகாதே பொன்மணியே
Bonded in my heart, with my dreams
You merged, oh my beloved
With a playful, stealing smile
Oh pearl-like beauty who speaks stories
தொலைந்திடவே உன்னில்
நினைத்திடுதே நெஞ்சம்
இருந்திடுதே கோடி ஆசைகள்
என்னென்ன நீ சொல்லு பூங்கோதையே
மறந்திடுமோ கண்கள்
இருந்திடவே நீயும்
பொழிந்திடுதே காதல்
வெக்கத்த வீசாத முத்தத்தை நான் கேக்குறேன்
Bonded in my heart, with my dreams
You merged, oh my beloved
With a playful, stealing smile
Oh pearl-like beauty who speaks stories
நெஞ்சில் உறவாடி கனவோடு
கலந்தாயே கண்மணியே
கலவாடும் சிரிப்போடு
கதை பேசும் முத்தழகே
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
நேரம் எல்லாம் நீதானே

உலகமே நீ உனக்கென நான்
துடிக்குற உன் இதயமும் நான்
துடிக்குற என் உயிரே நீ
உடல் உனது நிழலே நான்
