நீ வந்தாய் வந்தாய் என்னோடு
வந்தது நிலவு
வான் மின்னல் மின்னும் கண்ணோடு
எத்தனை அழகு
You came, came with me,
and along with you came the moon.
With eyes sparkling like sky lightning,
how beautiful you are!
எது ஆகாயம் எது பூலோகம்
இடம் மாறாதோ சுகம் வாராதோ
அடி காதல் தேவி எந்தன் ஆவி
கலந்தது உன்னோடு
Which is the sky and which is the earth?
If our places swap, won't bliss arrive?

தையல் நீயடி எனை தையல் போடடி
காயமாகுமே அது ஞாயமாகுமா
Oh maiden, weave around me, stitch me into you,
It will turn into a wound, is that fair?
இரு வாழைப்பூவை நீ
ஆடையில் மூடாதே
இரு வாழைப்பூவை நீ
ஆடையில் மூடாதே
நீ கள்ளப்பார்வை பார்க்காதே
நெஞ்சிலே மின்னல் ஓடும்
You are like two banana blossoms,
do not hide yourself behind clothing.

வானம்பாடிகள் சுக ராகம் பாடின
காதல் மாலைகள் இரு தோளில் ஆடின
இது காமன் பூந்தோட்டம்
ராத்திரி தீயூட்டும்
The skylarks sang delightful melodies,
Garlands of love swayed across both shoulders.
This is Cupid's flower garden,
the night kindles a passionate fire.
இது காமன் பூந்தோட்டம்
ராத்திரி தீயூட்டும்
நான் காணும் இன்பம் பேரின்பம்
கங்கையாய் பாயும்
You came, came with me,
and along with you came the moon.
With eyes sparkling like sky lightning,
how beautiful you are!
நீ வந்தாய் வந்தாய் என்னோடு
வந்தது நிலவு
