பூவே பூவே தாழம் பூவே
நெஞ்சின் ஆழம் நீ

நெஞ்சின் ஆழம் நீ
மீண்டும் மீண்டும் காண தூண்டும்
மாயாஜாலம் நீ
Flower, O flower, screwpine flower
You are the depth of my heart
Flower, O flower, screwpine flower
You are the depth of my heart
Urging me to see you again and again
You are magical enchantment
அழகே கோல கண்ணாலே
முழுதாய் கட்டி இழுத்தாயே
அருகே நீ வருவாயோ நிலவே
ஒளிரும் புன்னகை பூவே
கடலே என்னுயிர் செந்தேனே
மழையின் சந்தமே
நீ என் சொந்தமே
O beauty with killer eyes
You completely bound me and pulled me in
Will you come near me, O moon?
O flower with a glowing smile
O ocean, my life, my sweet honey
Rhythm of the rain
You are my own
கிளியே செல்ல கிளியே
கொஞ்சி பறந்தென் கூட்டில் வந்தாடு
கனவே காத்து கிடந்தேன் யுகமாய்
அரும்பே வெல்ல கரும்பே
எங்கு ஒளிந்தாய் நாணம் கொண்டாடி
இதழ்கள் ஒன்றி தொலைவோம் சுகமாய்
Parrot, darling parrot
Fly playfully and dance inside my nest
O dream, I waited for ages
O flower bud, sweet sugarcane
Where did you hide, celebrating shyness?
Let us unite our lips and blissfully lose ourselves
தங்கமே தங்கமே
தங்கமே தங்கமே
தங்கமே தங்கமே
தந்தா நன்னானே
My precious gold, my gold
My precious gold, my gold
My precious gold, my gold
Thanthaa nannaanae
மாயம் காட்டி
மயக்கிவிட்டாய்
மேகம் மேலே நடக்கவிட்டாய்
காதில் நீயும் சொன்னதெல்லாம்
மெய்தானா
உன்னை மட்டுமே நினைத்து
கனவுகள் கோர்த்தெடுத்து
மாலை மாற்ற காத்திருக்கும்
கோதை மான் நானா
You cast a spell and mesmerized me
You made me walk above the clouds
Is everything you whispered in my ear really true?
Thinking only of you
Weaving together dreams
Waiting to exchange garlands
Am I that gentle doe-like maiden?
அழகே பூ முகமும்
வாடுவதேனோ
உன் மனதினில் ஐயமும் ஏனோ
நீயும் நானும் சேரா லோகம்
நைந்தே போகாதோ
சியோதிகாவிலே விளக்கொன்றை ஏத்தி
மேளம் கொட்டிட தாலியும் கட்டி
கையும் கையும் கோர்த்து கொண்டே கூட்டி
செல்வன் நான்
O beauty, why is your flower-like face wilting?
Why is there doubt in your mind?
Will not the world that keeps us apart perish?
Lighting a lamp at Chiyothikkavu temple
Tying the sacred thread amidst the beating of drums
Holding hands tightly, I will take you with me
மழையின் சந்தமே நீ
என் சொந்தமே
தந்தானே தந்தானே தந்தா
தந்தானே
Rhythm of the rain, you belong to me
Thandhane thandhane thandha thandhane
