கண்ணே என்று சொல்லு
இரு கண்ணால் என்னை கிள்ளு
ஜோடி தன்னை நாடும் மைனா
இன்னும் கொஞ்சுமோ
இது என்றும் அஞ்சுமோ.....
Call me your beloved
Pinch me softly with your eyes
The Myna bird seeking its mate
Will it coax and caress even more?
Will it ever be afraid?
கண்ணே என்று சொல்லு
இரு கண்ணால் என்னை கிள்ளு
ஜோடி தன்னை நாடும் மைனா
இன்னும் கொஞ்சுமோ
இது என்றும் அஞ்சுமோ.....
Call me your beloved
Pinch me softly with your eyes
The Myna bird seeking its mate
Will it coax and caress even more?

கண்ணே என்று சொல்லு
இரு கண்ணால் என்னை கிள்ளு
Call me your beloved
Pinch me softly with your eyes
ஆசை என்று தேடும் கலை
அங்கு நின்று ஆடும்
புதுமைகள் ஏந்தும் இமையுடன் நீந்தும்
பூவையின் முகத்தை பாராயோ
The art that searches with desire
Stands there and dances
Swimming with eyelids carrying novel wonder
Won't you look at this maiden's face?
நேசமே பெருக நெஞ்சமே இறுக
நாடும் கன்னியின் கலி தீராய்
இந்நங்கை செங்கனி
As love swells and hearts hold tight
Fulfill the joy of the maiden who seeks you
This sweet lady is a ripe red fruit
கண்ணே என்று சொல்லு
இரு கண்ணால் என்னை கிள்ளு
Call me your beloved
Pinch me softly with your eyes
சித்திர மோகன பதுமை
சிந்தையில் ஆயிரம் உரிமை
பனித்துளி என்ற மணிகளில் நின்ற
பாவையின் கனவை அமுதாக்கு
An enchanting, beautiful picture doll
Holding a thousand loving rights in her thoughts
Standing upon gem-like dew drops
Turn the maiden's dream into sweet nectar
புன்னகைச் செண்டு பூரிப்பதுண்டு
பொன் வண்டு வந்தால் தேனுண்டு
இந்நங்கை செங்கனி
A bouquet of smiles blooms in delight
If the golden beetle arrives, honey awaits
This sweet lady is a ripe red fruit
கண்ணே என்று சொல்லு
இரு கண்ணால் என்னை கிள்ளு
ஜோடி தன்னை நாடும் மைனா
இன்னும் கொஞ்சுமோ
இது என்றும் அஞ்சுமோ.....
