| Mugavari thedi alanchen | I wandered searching for an identity and address, |
| En mudhal needhaan mulusa purinchen | I completely realized that you are my true beginning. |
| Marupadiyum naanum samanjen | I felt as though I reached womanhood once again, |
| Naan unakkena poothu pudhusa velenchen | I bloomed and grew anew, especially for you. |
| Female | |
| Vaasalathaan paathirukken | I keep watching the doorway waiting for you, |

முகவரி தேடி அலைஞ்சேன்
என் முதல் நீதான் முழுசா புரிஞ்சேன்
மறுபடியும் நானும் சமஞ்சேன்
நான் உனக்கென பூத்து புதுசா வெலஞ்சேன்
I wandered searching for an identity and address,
I completely realized that you are my true beginning.
I felt as though I reached womanhood once again,
I bloomed and grew anew, especially for you.
வாசலாத்தான் பாத்திருக்கேன்
பாவிபய வாயேண்டா
கால் கடுக்க காத்திருக்கேன்
வாரி கொள்ள வாயேண்டா
I keep watching the doorway waiting for you,
Come to me, you lovable sinner!
I am waiting until my legs ache,
Come to embrace me tightly!
என் உசுரே உனக்கெனதான் இருக்கு
உன் வரவு எனக்கதுதான் கிழக்கு
My very life belongs only to you,
Your arrival is like the rising sun in the east for me.
பொத்தி வெச்ச ஆசை எல்லாம்
வெட்ட வெளி சூடமாச்சு
பொட்டு வைக்கும் ஆசை மட்டும்
பத்திகிட்ட தீபம் ஆச்சு
All the deep desires I kept hidden inside,
Have now warmed up in the open air.
The simple desire to wear the vermilion mark,
Has now become a glowing, lit lamp.
ஓ பெத்தவங்க பேச்சை எல்லாம்
விட்டு தள்ளி கூட வாரேன்
மத்தவங்க பார்வை முன்ன
வக்கணையா வாழ போறேன்
Oh, setting aside all the words of elders,
I am coming along to be with you.
In front of the watchful eyes of others,
I am going to live proudly and gracefully.
கண்ணா கொத்தி போன காதல்
கண்ணு ரெண்டும் உன்ன தேடும்
என்ன கொத்தி போக நீயும்
வந்து நின்னா அதுவே போதும்
I wandered searching for an identity and address,
I completely realized that you are my true beginning.
I felt as though I reached womanhood once again,
I bloomed and grew anew, especially for you.
ஓ கொஞ்ச நஞ்ச காதல் எல்லாம்
நெஞ்சுக்குழி தாங்க வில்ல
மஞ்ச கொடி மாலை மாத்தி
கிட்ட வரம் ம்ம் ம்ம் தாரேன்
Love that pecked at my eyes and flew,
Now makes both my eyes search for you.
If you just come and stand near,
Stealing my heart away, that itself is enough.
முகவரி தேடி அலைஞ்சேன்
என் முதல் நீதான் முழுசா புரிஞ்சேன்
மறுபடியும் நானும் சமஞ்சேன்
நான் உனக்கென பூத்து புதுசா வெலஞ்சேன்
Oh, this intense love that is not small,
Cannot be contained within the depths of my chest.
Exchanging sacred turmeric garland threads,
I grant you the boon of true intimacy.
