Male: Like Rama singing a song for this young girl,
Female: I am the rhythm to your song, come to me, my man!
I saw the beauty and heard the melody,
Youth is meant to be celebrated.
Without sleep and without a companion,
A deep longing takes over.
Ah, if the lips turn pale in the cold and fruit and milk taste bitter,
Even the gentle breeze feels like fire!
Ah, if the lips turn pale in the cold and fruit and milk taste bitter,
Even the gentle breeze feels like fire!
If I offer a cure for that,
Then the burning heat will cool down, yes, it will cool down!
A handsome man winking his eye!
Male: A beautiful girl with a mischievous smile!
When desire rises and Murugan longs to caress,
With his Valli standing right before him,
With spear-sharp eyes and a girl graceful like a peacock,
You must come into my embrace!
When desire rises and Murugan longs to caress,
With his Valli standing right before him,
With spear-sharp eyes and a girl graceful like a peacock,
You must come into my embrace!
If you embrace me, it will be so sweet,
Your body is like panchamirtham (sweet temple fruit offering)!
If you embrace me, it will be so sweet,
Your body is like panchamirtham (sweet temple fruit offering)!
Day or night, awake or asleep,
You are always on my mind,
You are always on my mind!

Male: Aha, a beautiful girl with a mischievous smile!
Female: My sweetheart dressed up like a gentleman,
