நாயகன் என்னை அழைத்தான்
நாயகன் என்னை அழைத்தான்
அழகான தேவதையே
எனக்கு நீ வேண்டும் என்றான்
மணமாலை மங்கல நாண்
எனக்கென சூடி தந்தான்
My hero called me
My hero called me
"O beautiful angel,"
He said he wants me
The wedding garland and auspicious thread,
He adorned me with for my sake
வானவில் எடுப்பான்
வண்ணம் அறியாமல்
நட்சத்திரம் பறிப்பான் வானமறியாமல்
காதல் கொடுத்தான் கண்கள் அறியாமல்
He would pluck a rainbow
Without knowing its colors
Pluck stars without the sky knowing
Gave love without the eyes knowing
நாயகன் உன் நாயகன்
நாயகன் நாயகன்
நாயகன் உன்னை அழைத்தான்...
Hero, your hero
Hero, hero
Hero called you...
நாயகன்

"You are a new poem
You are a new story as well
You are a new riddle as well"
So he said
புதிதான கவிதை நீ
புதிதான கதையும் நீ
புதிதான புதிரும் நீ
என்று சொன்னேனே
Oh my, in the very next second
He said all of that was a lie
"You are a real thief"
So he also said
அம்மாடி மறுநொடியே
அத்தனையும் பொய் என்றான்
சரியான திருடி நீ
என்றும் சொன்னானே
My pure loving heart
It is true that you stole it away
Female: For a lifetime, with love for that reason
Womanhood serving you
தூய்மையான எந்தன் காதல் மனதை
நீயும் திருடிக் கொண்டது உண்மையே
காலம் முழுதும் அதற்காக காதலுடன்
சேவை செய்யும் பெண்மையே
I will become the earring in your ear
I will remain as the anklet on your feet
Female: He will become the waist ornament
He will give many sweet troubles
Male: The leader of love
Female: The prince
காதில் கம்மல் ஆவேனே
காலில் கொலுசாய் இருப்பேனே
இடுப்பில் கொடியும் ஆவானே
இம்சைகள் பலவும் தருவானே
காதல் தலைவன்.......

முனங்கல்
He will come to the sacred temple
Grant a boon and disappear
Like the camphor flame
He floats in the wind
திருக்கோவில் வருவானே
வரம் தந்து மறைவானே
கற்பூர தீபம் போல்
காற்றில் மிதப்பானே
Unknowingly, she admires
Unknowingly, she smiles
When I look at her
She looks at the ground and bites her nails
அறியாமல் ரசிப்பாளே
அறியாமல் சிரிப்பாளே
நான் பார்த்தால்
மண் பார்த்து நகத்தை கடிப்பாளே
The moment he looked, all the stories
In my heart, he finished reading
பார்த்த நொடியில் எந்தன் நெஞ்சிலுள்ள
கதை யாவும் படித்து முடித்தான்
To give alms knowing the worthiness of the recipient
A fine leader of love was found
பாத்திரம் அறிந்து பிச்சை போட
நல்ல காதல் தலைவி கிடைத்தாள்
Shyness left me
I felt a little fear
Male: Without any remainder left
I saw you completely
வெட்கம் என்னை கைவிட்டு
அச்சம் கொஞ்சம் கொண்டேனே
மிச்சம் மீதி இல்லாமல்
முழுசாய் உன்னைக் கண்டேனே
காதல் திருடன்.......
