Kanni ponnae….
Kanni Vachen kanni vachen thanniyilae
Kolamingu valaiyaachchu
Kili vanthu vizhunthachchu thannalae
Rasaaththi kolamingu valaiyaachchu
Kili vanthu vizhunthachchu thannalae
Aasai vachen….
Aasai vachen aasai vachchen unnaalae
Thanni paana thala male
Thaagamellaam um melae
Rasaavae thanni paana thala male
Thaagamellaam um melae
{Thulli thulli vanthu killi killi enna
Alli anaichchida vanthaalae
Thottu thottu enna katti katti kondu
Katti karumbena ninnaalae} (2)
Naan thuvachcha sela naan puzhinjaa nee vadiyum
Aththa magan puzhinjaa aththanaiyum thaen vadiyum
Thaen kudichchu thinaruthadi
Neentha marantha semmeenu
Thaen kudichchu thinaruthadi
Neentha marantha semmeenu
Aasai vachen….
Aasai vachen aasai vachchen unnaalae
Thanni paana thala male
Thaagamellaam um melae um melae
Muthu muthu endru niththam nitham
Ingu thottu kalanthida vanthaanae
Muthu muthu endru niththam nitham
Ingu thottu kalanthida vanthaanae
Akkam pakkam kandu vetkkam vetkam endru
Michcham michcham konjam endraenae
Paavi maga paathaa paatha edam palaaru
Ennaikku theerum ila vayasu kolaaru
Panju meththa vaangi vanthu
Parisam poda poraaru
Panju meththa vaangi vanthu
Parisam poda poraaru

Oh young girl...
I set a trap, I set a trap in the water,
This pond turned into a net,
And the parrot came and fell into it all by itself!
My queen, this pond turned into a net,
And the parrot came and fell into it all by itself!
I fell in love...
I fell in love, I fell in love because of you!
The water pot rests upon my head,
Yet all my thirst is only for you!
My king, the water pot rests upon my head,
Yet all my thirst is only for you!
Skipping up playfully and pinching me,
She came to gather me in her embrace!
Touching me and holding me tight,
She stood as sweet as sugarcane!
If I wring the saree I washed, only water drips out,
If my cousin wrings it, pure honey drips out!
Drunk on that honey, it gasps for breath—
The red fish that forgot how to swim!
Drunk on that honey, it gasps for breath—
The red fish that forgot how to swim!
I fell in love...
I fell in love, I fell in love because of you!
The water pot rests upon my head,
Yet all my thirst is only for you, only for you!
Calling me his pearl, day after day,
He came here to touch me and become one!
Calling me his pearl, day after day,
He came here to touch me and become one!
Looking around at the people and feeling shy,
I told him, "Save some of this for later!"
Wherever this eager girl looks, it flows like a river of milk,
When will this youthful restlessness ever settle down?
He is going to buy a soft cotton mattress,
And bring the parisam (betrothal gift) to claim me...
He is going to buy a soft cotton mattress,
And bring the parisam (betrothal gift) to claim me...
Oh young girl...
I set a trap, I set a trap in the water,
This pond turned into a net,
And the parrot came and fell into it all by itself!
I fell in love...
I fell in love, I fell in love because of you!
The water pot rests upon my head,
Yet all my thirst is only for you, only for you!
