மேடையில் ஆடிடும் மெல்லிய பூங்காற்றே
நீ ஆடையில் ஆடினால் மன்மதன் விளையாட்டே
மேடையில் ஆடிடும் மெல்லிய பூங்காற்றே
நீ ஆடையில் ஆடினால் மன்மதன் விளையாட்டே
மேனகை போலொரு புன்னகை புதுப்பாட்டே
உன் மேனியின் சாயலோ ஆனந்த நீருற்றே..
A gentle breeze dancing on the stage

பழம் உள்ளூர கள்ளூர தள்ளாடுமோ
பழுக்க பழுக்க ரசம் பிழிய பிழிய
பழம் உள்ளூர கள்ளூர தள்ளாடுமோ
குடிக்க குடிக்க மனம் மிதக்க மிதக்க
தினம் வண்டாட்டம் கொண்டாட்டம் உண்டாகுமோ
As it ripens and ripens, as the sweet juice is squeezed and squeezed
Does the fruit stagger within as liquor flows?
As it ripens and ripens, as the sweet juice is squeezed and squeezed

As one drinks and drinks, as the mind floats and floats
Will a daily celebration like a honeybee's hum arise?
ஓடை மீனாட ஓடை நீர் வேண்டும்
உறவினில் நானாட ஒருவன் நீ வேண்டும்
For the stream fish to dance, stream water is essential
For me to blossom in love, a man like you is essential

உல்லாச பல்லாக்கில் ஊர்கோலமோ
ஒடிய ஒடிய இடை நெளிய நெளிய நடை
உல்லாச பல்லாக்கில் ஊர்கோலமோ
நெருங்க நெருங்க மெல்ல ஒதுங்க ஒதுங்க
எனும் ஊடல்கள் யுவராணி ஒய்யாரமோ
A slender, slender waist swaying, a graceful stepping gait
Is this a grand procession on a joyous palanquin?

As I come closer, you slowly step back
Are these playful lovers' tiffs the elegance of a princess?
மாலை இடலாமோ மஞ்சம் வரலாமோ
சேலையை தொடலாமோ கைகள் படலாமோ
May I adorn you with a garland? May I come to the bed?
May I touch your dress? May my hands brush against you?
