மனமே மயங்கினேன் மன்னவனே
உன் சுகுமார முகம் கண்டு ஆசைக் கொண்டேன்
My mind has become entranced, oh my king!
Beholding your tender, handsome face, I desired you.

உன் சுகுமார முகம் கண்டு ஆசைக் கொண்டேன்
My mind has become entranced, oh my king!

மாதவனைப் போல் மோகனமாய்
காதலின் சுகம் நாடும்
மதுரமான சரச ராஜ அழகினில்
மனமே மயங்கினேன் மன்னவனே.....
Charming and enchanting like Lord Madhava,
Seeking the sweet pleasures of romantic love,
In your sweet, playful, and majestic beauty,
My mind has become entranced, oh my king!
யாரோ உனைப்போல் பார்தனிலே
கார்முகில் போலே காவலனே
நேரமிதே வந்து வாயமுதம் தந்து
நெஞ்சினில் விளையாடும்
ரஞ்சிமலர் பஞ்சணைதனில் கொஞ்சிட....
