ஆ....மதுவை ஏந்தி கொந்தளிக்கும் மலரிலே
என் மதி மயங்கி வீழ்ந்தேன் உன் வலையிலே
In your beauty that looks like a crafted doll
காதல் தெய்வீக ராணி போதை உண்டாகுதே நீ
கண்ணே என் மனதை விட்டுத் துள்ளாதே
In my state of tossing and turning like a boat
Ah... in the flower that boils holding sweet nectar
My intellect fainted and fell into your web of love
Divine queen of love
