நீ என்னை விட்டு போகாதே
இந்தக் கன்னி மனம் தாங்காதே
Do not leave me and go
This maiden heart cannot bear it
நீ என்னை விட்டு போகாதே
இந்தக் கன்னி மனம் தாங்காதே
விட்டுப் போனால் பட்டுப் பூவின்
வண்ணம் யாவும் வாடிப் போகுமே
Do not leave me and go
This maiden heart cannot bear it
If you leave, like a silky flower
All the colors will fade away
ஒரு கையில் கோப்பை
மறு கையில் பாவை
எடுத்துக் கொண்டாடு இனிமை பண்பாடு
காலம் பொன் போன்றது
காதல் கண் போன்றது
போனால் என்னாவது
வா வா இன்றாவது
A cup in one hand
A maiden in the other hand
Take and celebrate this sweet culture
Time is like gold
Love is like the eyes
What will happen if it is gone?
Come, come, at least today
நீ என்னை விட்டு போகாதே
இந்தக் கன்னி மனம் தாங்காதே
விட்டுப் போனால் பட்டுப் பூவின்
வண்ணம் யாவும் வாடிப் போகுமே
Do not leave me and go
This maiden heart cannot bear it
If you leave, like a silky flower
All the colors will fade away
சூரியன் தூங்கியது
இங்கு சந்திரன் தோன்றியது
சூரியன் தூங்கியது
இங்கு சந்திரன் தோன்றியது
ஆயிரத்தில் நீயொருத்தன் தானே
ஆசைக் கொண்டு தேர்ந்தெடுத்தேன் நானே
தித்திக்கின்ற முத்திரைகள் தேனே
திகட்டும் வரைக்கும் திரும்பத் திரும்பத் தா.....
The sun has gone to sleep
Here the moon has appeared
The sun has gone to sleep
Here the moon has appeared
You are one in a thousand
I chose you out of desire
Sweet kisses like honey
Give them back until one is satiated
தத்தை சொல்லும் வித்தையெல்லாம்
மெத்தை வந்தால் காணக் கூடுமே
All the subtle arts spoken like a parrot
Can be seen once we reach the bed
பூப் பந்து போலிருக்கும்
வண்ணப் பூந்துகில் மேலிருக்கும்
வானகத்து மேனகைக்குத் தங்கை
வார்த்தெடுத்த ஓவியம் போல் மங்கை
இன்பமென்ற வெள்ளமூறும் கங்கை
இரவு முழுவதும் உறவில் மிதக்க வா
Resembling a ball of flowers
Lying upon a colorful silky cloth
A younger sister to Menaka of the heavens
A maiden sculpted like a beautiful painting
A Ganges overflowing with the stream of bliss
Come to float in intimacy all night long
ஒன்று தந்தால் நூறு தந்து
நன்றி சொல்லும் நங்கை நானன்றோ
If given one, I return a hundredfold
Am I not the maiden who shows gratitude?
நீ என்னை விட்டு போகாதே
இந்தக் கன்னி மனம் தாங்காதே
விட்டுப் போனால் பட்டுப் பூவின்
வண்ணம் யாவும் வாடிப் போகுமே

Indha kanni manam thaangaadhae
This maiden heart cannot bear it
Nee yennai vittu pogaadhae
Do not leave me and go
Indha kanni manam thaangaadhae

Vittu ponaal pattu poovin

A cup in one hand
Maru kaiyil paavai
A maiden in the other hand
Eduthu kondaadu inimai panpaadu
Take and celebrate this sweet culture
Kaalam pon pondradhu
Time is like gold
Kaadhal kan pondradhu
Love is like the eyes
Ponaal ennaavadhu
What will happen if it is gone?
Vaa vaa indraavadhu
Come, come, at least today
Nee yennai vittu pogaadhae
Do not leave me and go
Indha kanni manam thaangaadhae
This maiden heart cannot bear it
Vittu ponaal pattu poovin

The sun has gone to sleep
Ingu chandhiran thondriyadhu

Aayiratthil neeyoruthan thaanae
You are one in a thousand
Aasai kondu thaerndheduthaen naanae
I chose you out of desire
Thithikkindra muthiraigal thaenae
Sweet kisses like honey
Thigattum varaikkum thirumba thaa
Give them back until one is satiated
Thathai sollum vithaiyellaam
All the subtle arts spoken like a parrot
Methai vandhaal kaana koodum
Can be seen once we reach the bed
Poo pandhu polirukkum
Resembling a ball of flowers
Vanna poondhugil maelirukkum
Lying upon a colorful silky cloth
Vaanagathu maenagaikku thangai
A younger sister to Menaka of the heavens
Vaarthedutha oviyam pol mangai
A maiden sculpted like a beautiful painting
Inbamendra vellamoorum gangai
A Ganges overflowing with the stream of bliss
Iravu muzhuvadhum uravil midhakka vaa
Come to float in intimacy all night long
Ondru thandhaal nooru thandhu
If given one, I return a hundredfold
Nandri sollum nangai naanandro
Am I not the maiden who shows gratitude?
Nee yennai vittu pogaadhae
Do not leave me and go
Indha kanni manam thaangaadhae
This maiden heart cannot bear it
Vittu ponaal pattu poovin
If you leave, like a silky flower
Vannam yaavum vaadi pogumae
All the colors will fade away
