ஓஹோ கோனே வா கோனே கோமானே
நீ தொட்டால் நானும் பொன்னாய் மாறுவேனே
Oh king, come, oh king of kings!
If you touch me, I too will turn into gold!
தேனி தேனி ஓ ராணி பூந்தோணி
என் நெஞ்சாங்கூட்டில் தேனை சேர்க்க வா நீ
Honeybee, honeybee, oh queen!
Boat of flowers!
Come gather honey into the hive of my heart!
கள்ளம் இல்லா பண்பும்
வெள்ளம் போன்ற அன்பும்
உள்ளம் என்னும் பள்ளம் எங்கும்
தேடி தங்கும்
An innocent, guileless nature,
And love like a gushing flood,
Will seek and dwell everywhere
In the lowlands called the heart.
ஆடை சூட்டிய வைரம்
வாசம் வீசும் ஸ்வர்ணம்
வெட்டி பட்ட நிலவின் ஒளியை
தட்டி செய்த சிற்பம்
A diamond clothed in attire,
Gold radiating fragrance,
A sculpture sculpted by shaping
The light carved out of the moon!
தேனே தேனே ஹேய் ஹேய் ஹேய்
வானே வானே ஹோய் ஹோய் ஹோய் ஹோய்
Honeybee, honeybee, hey ehey hey!
Oh sky, oh sky, hoi hoi hoi hoiii!

Come gather honey into the hive of my heart!
..........................
ஓ கண்ணுடைய நிலவே நிலவே
என்னுடைய பொருளே பொருளே
அட உடலில் உயிர் போல் கடலில் அலை போல்
உடன் நீ உறைவாயா
Oh, moon endowed with eyes!
Oh, my precious treasure!
Ah, like life in a body, like waves in the sea,
Will you dwell together with me?
தீராத திருவே திருவே
செந்தமிழ் உருவே உருவே
நம் உடம்பை தொடரும் நிழல் தான்
என்றும் உடலை பிரியாதே
Oh inexhaustible prosperity!
Oh embodiment of pure Tamil!
The shadow that follows our body,
Never separates from the body forever.
நூறுகோடி செல்வம் சிறிதாகும்
ஆறு முழம் பூவே பெரிதாகும்
உன் காலில் கொஞ்சும் கொலுசின் ஓசை
காலை இசை ஆகும்
A wealth of a hundred crores becomes trivial,
A six-cubit garland of flowers becomes grander!
The cooing sound of anklets on your feet
Becomes the music of the morning.
வெள்ளை மானே ஹ்ம்ம்
கொள்ளை தேனே ..ஹ்ம்ம்
Oh white deer, hmmm...
Oh sweet stolen honey, hmmm...

ஓ ஹோ
முத்து மணி மாலைகள் வேண்டாம்
பத்து விரல் மோதிரம் வேண்டாம்
எழுகிற பொழுது உன் இரு பாதம்
தொழும் வரம் தருவாயா
Oho ho
I do not need pearl necklaces,
I do not need rings on ten fingers.
As dawn breaks, a boon to worship your two feet,
Will you grant me that grace?
காற்று வந்து கை தட்ட வேண்டாம்
கவிதையே நீ புகழவும் வேண்டாம்
இல்லற மங்கை நல்லவன் என்றே
சொல்லிடும் சொல் போதும்
No need for the wind to come and applaud,
No need for you to praise me in poetry.
Just a word from the housewife saying he is a good man,
That single word is enough!
கோடை மழை கொட்டும் மண்ணோடு
கோடி மழை கொட்டும் நம்மோடு
உன் வெற்றி காண ஒற்றை விண்மீன்
ஆவேன் உன்னோடு
With the earth showered by summer rain,
With ten million rains pouring upon us,
To witness your victory, a lone star
I shall become alongside you!
முத்து கோனே..தித்தித்தேனே
Oh king of pearls, sweet honey...
ஓஹோ கோனே வா கோனே கோமானே
நீ தொட்டால் நானும் பொன்னாய் மாறுவேனே
Oh king, come, oh king of kings!
If you touch me, I too will turn into gold!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Vaanae Vaanae' from the movie 'The Legend' (2022) is a romantic duet expressing deep admiration, devotion, and poetic intimacy between lovers. The male and female leads exchange metaphors comparing each other to noble royalty, pure honey, glowing diamonds, and sculptured moonlight. The lyrics emphasize that true love transcends material riches—valuing a simple floral strand and genuine affection far above crores of wealth and precious jewels.
