...
Oh king, come my king, my noble one!
If you touch me, I too will turn into gold!
Honeybee, honeybee, oh queen!
Flower-boat!
Come to the hive of my heart and fill it with honey!
A character free of deceit,
and love that flows like a flood,
will seek out every depth of the heart
and make a home there.
A diamond dressed in fine clothes,
fragrant pure gold,
a sculpture crafted and shaped
from the carved light of the moon.
Honeybee, honeybee, hey ehe he!
Oh sky, oh sky, hoy hoy hoy hoy!
Oh king, come my king, my noble one!
If you touch me, I too will turn into gold!
Hey honeybee, honeybee, oh queen!
Flower-boat!
Come to the hive of my heart and fill it with honey!
...
Oh moon with eyes, my moon!
My treasure, my precious one!
Like life within a body, like waves upon the sea,
will you dwell beside me forever?
Endless fortune, my eternal treasure!
The living form of sweet, pure Tamil!
Just like the shadow that follows the body,
never ever part from me!
A fortune of hundreds of millions is so small;
a simple string of flowers is far greater!
The playful chime of anklets on your feet
becomes the melody of my morning.
My white deer, mmm...
My sweetest honey, mmm...
Oh king, come my king, my noble one!
If you touch me, I too will turn into gold!
Honeybee, honeybee, oh queen!
Flower-boat!
Come to the hive of my heart and fill it with honey!
Oho ho!
I do not need necklaces of pearls and gems,
I do not need rings on all ten fingers.
As the day begins, to worship your two feet—
will you grant me that blessing?
The wind does not need to clap for me,
nor do you, my living poem, need to praise me.
If the woman of my home says I am a good man,
that single word is enough!
While summer rain pours down upon the earth,
a million rains shower over the two of us!
To behold your victory, like a lone star,
I will remain by your side!
My pearl-like king, my sweetest honey...
Oh king, come my king, my noble one!
If you touch me, I too will turn into gold!
Hoo oo...
Honeybee, honeybee, oh queen!
Flower-boat!
Come to the hive of my heart and fill it with honey!
A character free of deceit,
and love that flows like a flood,
will seek out every depth of the heart
and make a home there.
You are a diamond dressed in fine clothes,
fragrant pure gold,
a sculpture crafted and shaped
from the carved light of the moon.
Honeybee, honeybee, hey ehe he!
Oh sky, oh sky, hoy hoy hoy hoy!
Honeybee, honeybee, hey ehe he!
Oh sky, oh sky, hoy hoy hoy hoy!
Honeybee, honeybee, hey ehe he!
Oh sky, oh sky, hoy hoy hoy hoy!
