மாலை இட்ட மாமன் கூட
பொண்ணும் இருக்க
மஞ்சள் வெயில் வானம் போல
கண்ணும் சிரிக்க
Along with the maternal uncle who wore the wedding garland
While the golden bride is present
Like the sky bathed in golden evening light
Her eyes laugh with joy
நானும் ஒரு மானை எண்ணி
நெஞ்சும் கொதிக்க
நேரம் வந்து சேரும் என்று
நான் காத்துக்கிடக்க
மாலை மயக்கம் காலை வரைக்கும்
அம்மம்மா ஏதோ ஏக்கம்
Thinking of her as a gentle deer
My heart boils with passion
Believing that the right time will come
As I lie down waiting
An evening intoxication that lingers until morning
Oh my, what an indescribable longing!
நீலக்குயில்கள் ரெண்டு
மாலைப்பொழுதில் இன்று
கூவித்திரியும் தாவித்திரியும்
ஆயிரம் ஆசைகள் கொண்டு ஆ.....
ஆயிரம் ஆசைகள் கொண்டு
Two blue cuckoos
Today during evening time
Singing around and hopping around
Carrying a thousand desires, ah...
Carrying a thousand desires
நேற்றிரவு தூங்கும் போது நூறு கனவு
நான் அணைக்க வந்தால் அந்த நீல நிலவு
கண் விழித்து பார்த்தேன் நல்ல காலைப்பொழுது
காணவில்லை நான்தான் கண்ட ஹ கன்னியழகு
A hundred dreams while asleep last night
When I approached to embrace that blue moon
I opened my eyes to see the bright morning sky
The youthful beauty I saw was nowhere to be found
தேடி அணைத்தால் தேவி வரத்தான்
நாளெல்லாம் ஏதோ தாகம்
To search and embrace her is a boon from the goddess
An unquenchable thirst all day long
நீலக்குயில்கள் ரெண்டு
மாலைப்பொழுதில் இன்று
கூவித்திரியும் தாவித்திரியும்
ஆயிரம் ஆசைகள் கொண்டு
ஆயிரம் ஆசைகள் கொண்டு......
