| Maiyitta mayilae | Oh kohl-adorned peacock, |
| Un paarvayil | In your gaze, |
| Oru murai sarindhen | I fell once. |
| Kai regai pola | Like palm lines, |
| Un kaiyodu | With your hand, |
| Kai sera thudithen | My hand longed to join. |

| Paarvai paarvai | Gaze upon gaze, |
| Theendum nodiyil | The moment it touches, |

| Kaadhoram thodaada mai kolam | The kohl pattern touching near the ear, |
| Yekkam paadudhae | Sings of longing. |
| Kai dhooram nee poga | As you move a hand's distance away, |
| Kannoram vetkam theriyudhae | Shyness is visible in the corner of your eyes. |

மையிட்ட மயிலே உன் பார்வையில்
ஒரு முறை சரிந்தேன்
கை ரேக போல உன் கையோடு
கை சேர துடித்தேன்
Oh kohl-adorned peacock,
In your gaze,
I fell once.
Like palm lines,
With your hand,
My hand longed to join.
மையிட்ட மயிலே உன் பார்வையில்
ஒரு முறை சரிந்தேன்
கை ரேக போல உன் கையோடு
கை சேர துடித்தேன்
Oh kohl-adorned peacock,
In your gaze,
I fell once.
Like palm lines,
With your hand,
My hand longed to join.
பார்வை பார்வை தீண்டும் நொடியில்
மின்சாரம் பாய கண்டேன்
பாவை பாவை பார்க்கும் போது
கண்ணோரம் ஆசை கண்டேன்
Gaze upon gaze,
The moment it touches,
I felt electricity flow.
When the maiden looks,
I saw desire at the edge of her eyes.
பந்தை போல உருட்டாதே நெஞ்சை
தந்தை காட்டி மிரட்டாதே என்னை
கண்ணை காட்டி மயக்காதே என்னை
பின் ஆசை காட்டி மறைக்காதே கண்ணை
Do not roll my heart around like a ball,
Do not threaten me by pointing to your father,
Do not mesmerize me by showing your eyes,
Do not blind my eyes after teasing desire.
The kohl pattern touching near the ear,
Sings of longing.
As you move a hand's distance away,
Shyness is visible in the corner of your eyes.
காதோரம் தோடாட
மை கோலம் ஏக்கம் பாடுதே
கை தூரம் நீ போக
கண்ணோரம் வெட்கம் தெரியுதே
Even if you find faults,
Oh kohl-adorned peacock,
In your gaze,
I fell once.
பிழைகள் கண்டாலும்
மையிட்ட மயிலே உன் பார்வையில்
ஒரு முறை சரிந்தேன்
Pomegranate orchard,
Gathering of dark leaves,
I got lost.
A woman's net appears,
In the time of white rain,
I vanished.
Aannn..aaann..aaaa (Vocalizing)
மாதுளை தோட்டம் காரிழை கூட்டம்
தொலைந்தேனே நான்
பெண் வளை தோன்றும் வெண் மழை நேரம்
மறைந்தேனே நான்
Oh kohl-adorned peacock,
In your gaze,
I fell once.
Like palm lines,
With your hand,
My hand longed to join.
மையிட்ட மயிலே உன் பார்வையில்
ஒரு முறை சரிந்தேன்
கை ரேக போல உன் கையோடு
கை சேர துடித்தேன்
