முதல் எழுத்தே மோகமானால்
முடிவுரைதான் என்ன ஆகும்
முதல் எழுத்தே மோகமானால்
முடிவுரைதான் என்ன ஆகும்
If the first letter itself becomes infatuation,
What will become of the epilogue?
இதழ் எழுத்தே வேதமானால்
இசை படித்தால் என்ன ஆகும்
மலர் தொடுத்தால் மாலை ஆனால்
மனம் தொடுத்தால் என்ன ஆகும்
மணியே மணியே ஹோ
ஓ...ஹோ....ஓ...ஹோ
If the first letter itself becomes infatuation,
What will become of the epilogue?
Male :If the writing of lips becomes scripture,
What will happen if music is read?

கனி இதழில் காதல் ராகம்
கனிவாய் அரங்கேறுமே
நுனி விரலில் நூறு பாவம்
இனிதாய் ஸ்வரம் பாடுமே
A love melody on the fruit-like lips
Will premiere sweet and tenderly.
A hundred emotions on fingertips,
Will sweetly sing musical notes.
முடிமுதலாய் பாதம் வரைக்கும்
மூன்றுலகம் தோன்றுமே
அடி எடுத்தே பாட நினைத்தால்
ஆசை உன்னை மீறுமே
From top of the head
Unto the feet,
The three worlds will appear!
When I try to step out and sing,
Desire overflows beyond my control.
மலரே மணமே
மயங்கும் மனமே
மறந்தேன் எனை
மறந்தேன் நானே
பிறந்தேன் உந்தன்
நினைவால் தானே
Oh flower, oh fragrance!
Oh spellbound heart!
Female :I forgot myself completely,
I was reborn only through your thoughts!

முதல் எழுத்தே மோகமானால்
முடிவுரைதான் என்ன ஆகும்
When she languishes in solitude,
You must come as her companion.
A blanket covering a body chilled by dew,
You must gently provide.
தனியாய் இவள் வாடும்போது
துணை நீ வரவேண்டுமே
பனியால் உடல் மூடும் போர்வை
கனிவாய் தர வேண்டுமே
What distance is there between us?
Bliss until the very end!
In between, with seven musical notes,
We must find rest and solace.
இடைவெளியே ஏது நமக்கு
இறுதிவரை யோகமே
இடயிடையே ஏழு இசையால்
இளைப்பாரிட வேண்டுமே
Oh beauty, oh nectar, oh embodiment of love!
Male :I flew all the way to the sky, my girl,
And fell into the prison of your love!
அழகே அமுதே அன்பின் விருந்தே
பறந்தேனடி வானம் வரையில்
விழுந்தேன் இந்த காதல் சிறையில்
