Paadham pattaa nogaadhaa
En pacha kiliyae…
Veyil pattaa vaadaadhaa
En vaasa malliyae…
Rosaa poovae raasaathi
Raasaa naan thaan thaerotti
Aa…..aa….aa….haa….aa….
Kola kiliyae kola kiliyae
Koodavae neeyum vaa vaa
Maalai pozhudhil koovum kuyilae
Mayakkam yen mayilae vaa vaa
Manasula nee thaan
Irukkae raagamaa
Uyirilae kalandhae
Padippen kelammaa
Veyililae nilavonnu nadappadhu
Nyaayam thaanaa
Kola kiliyae kola kiliyae
Koodavae neeyum vaa vaa
Muthu kulichu muthu onnu eduthaa
Mullai chirippil potti onnu nadakkum
Othu othu muthinamae oram oram
Pattu mogatha vaanathula padhichaa
Natchathirangal pattimandram nadathum
Etti nillu vennilavae dhooram dhooram
Aadidum thulasi poovae
Kannan unnai marandhaanaa
Archanaikku neeyum ponaal
Vendum varam tharuvaanaa
Kaatha kelu thaayi onna pathi paadum
Kola kiliyae kola kiliyae
Koodavae neeyum vaa vaa
Maalai pozhudhil koovum kuyilae
Mayakkam yen mayilae vaa vaa
Paattu padikka paattu idhazh thirandhaa
Kathum kuyilum rekka katti parakkum
Kukkukkoo ennathukku venaam venaam
Thanga chilaiyum koyilukkul nadandhaa
Sirpangalukkum jenmam vandhu pirakkum
Sithiramae utharavu venum venum
Vaaniyae vaanavar magalae
Ketkum varam tharuvaayaa
Unakku naan sevai seiya
Pala piravi koduppaayaa
Dheivam pola neeyae
Kaaval dheivam naanae
Kola kiliyae kola kiliyae
Koodavae neeyum vaa vaa
Maalai pozhudhil koovum kuyilae
Mayakkam yen mayilae vaa vaa
Manasula nee thaan
Irukkae raagamaa
Uyirilae kalandhae
Padippen kelammaa
Veyililae nilavonnu nadappadhu
Nyaayam thaanaa
Kola kiliyae kola kiliyae
Koodavae neeyum vaa vaa
Maalai pozhudhil koovum kuyilae
Mayakkam yen mayilae vaa vaa
Won't your feet hurt if they touch the ground?
My sweet green parrot...
Won't you fade if the sun falls on you?
My fragrant jasmine...
You are a rose flower, my princess,
And I am the king who drives your chariot.
Aah... aah... aah... haa... aah...
My sweet little parrot, my sweet little parrot,
Come along with me, come, come.
Cuckoo calling out in the evening,
Why this hesitation, my peacock? Come, come.
In my heart, you alone
live as a melody.
Blending into my very life,
I will sing for you, listen my dear.
A moon walking under the blazing sun—
is that really fair?
My sweet little parrot, my sweet little parrot,
Come along with me, come, come.
If someone dives into the sea and retrieves a pearl,
it will face a contest against your jasmine smile.
Give in, precious pearl, and step aside, step aside!
If your silky face is placed in the sky,
the stars will hold a grand debate.
Stand back, white moon, keep your distance!
Oh swaying tulsi flower,
did Lord Krishna ever forget you?
If you go to him in worship,
will he grant the wish you ask for?
Listen closely, my dear, to the song sung about you.
My sweet little parrot, my sweet little parrot,
Come along with me, come, come.
Cuckoo calling out in the evening,
Why this hesitation, my peacock? Come, come.
If you part your lips to sing a song,
even the calling cuckoo will take flight in defeat.
Who needs its song anymore? No, not at all!
If this golden statue walks into the temple,
even the stone sculptures will come to life.
Oh living portrait, I need your permission!
Oh Vani (Goddess of music), daughter of the heavens,
will you grant the boon I ask?
To serve you and take care of you,
will you give me many more lifetimes?
You are just like a goddess to me,
and I am your guardian deity.
My sweet little parrot, my sweet little parrot,
Come along with me, come, come.
Cuckoo calling out in the evening,
Why this hesitation, my peacock? Come, come.
In my heart, you alone
live as a melody.
Blending into my very life,
I will sing for you, listen my dear.
A moon walking under the blazing sun—
is that really fair?
My sweet little parrot, my sweet little parrot,
Come along with me, come, come.
Cuckoo calling out in the evening,
Why this hesitation, my peacock? Come, come.
