Kaatrodu aadum malaraga nee aadida
Mugizh ennai vazhthi thoorumae
Theeyodu aadum nizhal pola nee aadida
Vittilgal kai thatti unnodu sernthadumae
Kaatrin alaiyil aadum ilaiyaai
Veyilodu nee aada
Mega mazhaiyil aadum nilavaai
Iravodu vilaiyada
Aadu azhagae aadu azhagae sernthadadi
Aadu azhagae aadu azhagae
Ulagangal unakkaai paaradi … azhagae
Pullin meedhu poovai pol unai
Paartha nodi
Ennul yedho maatram nernthadhadi
Kaalam nammai ondru serthadhae
Andha azhagu nodi
Endhan vaazhkai muzhumaiyanathadi
Paadaludane raagam inaindhae
Thaalathil nadai poda
Thendraludanae vaasamena nee
Ennodu inaindhada
Aadu azhagae aadu azhagae sernthadadi
Aadu azhagae aadu azhagae

Aadum malargalai oorum veruthida
Veesum puyal namai peidhae erithida
Kannin thuliyena unnai pirinthida
Idhayam idhayam idhayam surungi erinthida
Jaadhi madha niram kadandha ikkaadhal
Paalai kadaindhida ulagudan modhal
Yaar indha sattangal seidharo
Poovodu poo aada koodadhu endringu
Vaeli potu kaaval kaaka
Vaasam kekadhu endru
Ennodu serndhadadi
Naam kaiyil vaanam
Kaadhil nar gaanam
Yaarenna sonnaalum kekadhadi…..
When you dance like a flower swaying in the wind,
The clouds shower their blessings on me.
When you dance like a shadow playing with fire,
The moths clap their hands and join your dance.
Like a leaf dancing on waves of wind,
As you dance with the sunshine,
Like the moon dancing in the rain-filled clouds,
As you play with the night,
Dance, my beauty, dance, my beauty, come dance with me!
Dance, my beauty, dance, my beauty!
Look, the world is here for you, my beauty!
Like a flower resting upon the grass,
The moment I saw you,
Something changed deep within me.
Time brought the two of us together,
And in that beautiful moment,
My life became complete.
As the melody joins with the song
To walk in step with the rhythm,
Like fragrance moving with a gentle breeze,
You join to dance with me.
Dance, my beauty, dance, my beauty, come dance with me!
Dance, my beauty, dance, my beauty!
Look, the world is here for us, my beauty!
Haa... Aaa... Aa... Aa... Aa... Aa...
Even if the town hates these dancing flowers,
Even if the raging storm pours down to burn us,
Even if you are torn away from me like a teardrop,
And our hearts shrink and ache in pain,
This love that rises above caste, religion, and colour
Fights with the world to churn out its own sweet life.
Who made all these rules,
Saying a flower cannot dance with another flower,
Putting up fences and guarding them,
Thinking they can keep the fragrance away?
Yet you have joined with me,
The sky is in our hands,
Sweet melody fills our ears,
So do not listen to whatever anyone says...
