நான் உயிருக்கு தருவது விலை
என் உடல் இனி உனக்கொரு கலை
கண்களை கொண்டு வா
பெண்மையை காணவா
மங்கையில் தங்கம் நான்
மதுவிலும் போதை நான்
I am setting a price on life,
My body from now on is an art for you.
Bring your eyes,
Come to behold womanhood!
I am gold among women,
I am an intoxication greater than wine.
கண்களை கொண்டு வா
பெண்மையை காணவா
Bring your eyes,
Come to behold womanhood!
காதலுக்கு சொர்க்கம் என்று
காவலுள்ள பக்கம் என்று
ஆடையிட்டு மூடி வைத்து பயன் என்ன
தேவையுள்ள சேவை என்று
சேவலுக்கு பூஜை என்று
நாணமின்றி கொஞ்சுவதில் தவறென்ன
கூந்தலால் மூடுவேன் தேவைப்போல் ஆடுவேன்
கன்னி உன் கையிலே.....ஏ......ஏ......ஏ.....ஏ.....
Saying that love is heaven,
Saying it is a guarded realm,
What is the point of keeping it covered with clothes?
Calling it a necessary service,
Calling it a ritual for the rooster,
What is wrong with caressing without shyness?
I will cover you with my tresses, I will dance as needed,
This maiden is in your hands…
கண்களை கொண்டு வா
பெண்மையை காணவா
Bring your eyes,
Come to behold womanhood!
ஆடச் சொல்லி ஆடவில்லை
பாடச் சொல்லி பாடவில்லை
தானாக வந்ததென்று தயங்காதே
கைகளுக்குள் கட்டுப்பட்டு
காதலுக்கு பாதை விட்டு
கன்னி மனம் சொன்ன பின்பும் மயங்காதே
இரவிலே பகலையும் பகலிலே இரவையும்
காணலாம் அருகில் வா.......ஆ......ஆ.....ஆ.....ஆ.....
I did not dance because I was asked to dance,
I did not sing because I was asked to sing,
Do not hesitate just because it happened naturally.
Bound within your hands,
Paving a path for love,
Do not remain swooned even after this maiden's heart has spoken.
Day in the night and night in the day,
We can witness, come close to me…
கண்களை கொண்டு வா
பெண்மையை காணவா
Bring your eyes,
Come to behold womanhood!
பூவிருக்க மஞ்சமிட்டு
தேன் எடுக்க உன்னை விட்டு
நானிருக்க வந்த பின்னும்
தடை ஏனோ
கோப்பை ஒன்று கையிருக்க கோலமுள்ள பெண் இருக்க
வாழ்வதற்கு வேறு என்ன துணை வேண்டும்
என்னை நீ பார்க்கலாம் கண்ணை நான் கேட்கிறேன்
காதலே வாழ்க நீ.....ஈ.......ஈ......ஈ......ஈ......ஈ.....
ஒ.....ஓஒ.....ஒ.....ஓஒ.....
Leaving the flower-strewn bed,
Leaving you to gather honey,
Even after I have come to stay,
Why is there any hindrance?
With a cup in hand and a beautiful maiden beside,
What other companion does one need to live?
You may look at me, I only ask for your eyes,
Long live love…
O… ooo… o…ooo
நான் உயிருக்கு தருவது விலை

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This alluring cabaret-style song expresses a woman's bold invitation to her lover to shed all social inhibitions and celebrate physical and emotional intimacy. She describes her beauty as a living work of art, declaring herself more valuable than gold and more intoxicating than fine wine. She questions why passion should be hidden or restrained by social taboos when it arises naturally. Through poetic imagery, she urges him to embrace the moment fully, suggesting that with wine in hand and love by one's side, life needs no other luxury. The song celebrates passion, freedom, and the intoxicating joy of romance.
