மார்கழி ஒரு மாதிரி
தூக்கமே எதிரி
The winter month of Margazhi feels unique
Sleep itself has become an enemy
ஹா கேள்வியே புது மாதிரி
ஏறுதே சுருதி
Haa, even the question feels entirely new
The pitch of passion is rising high
மோகமே அலை மோதுதே
மேகமாய் மழை தூரவா
Lust crashes like ocean waves
It drizzles rain like a cloud
வேகமாய் எல போடவா
தேவைய பரிமாறவா
Shall I quickly lay out a leaf for a feast?
Shall I serve all that is needed?
கோழி கூவும் நேரம் கூட
தாகம் மீறும்
Even as the rooster begins to crow
The thirst overflows boundaries
நாளையும் மடி சேரலாம்
விளையாடலாம் பசியாறலாம்
Tomorrow as well we can lie in each other's lap
We can play and satisfy our hunger
நேரமாச்சு வா புள்ளே
ஹா.....
ஈர மூச்சு வாங்குதே
ஹா.....
Time has come, come my girl...

ஓரமா விழி தாவுது
தாவணி சுடுது
Glances leap from the corner of the eye
The half-saree feels scorching hot
ஹா மாதுளை சிறை ஆனது
வேதனை தருது
Haa, the pomegranate fruit has become a prison
It gives sweet torment
ஆசையும் தீ மூட்டுது
நாணமோ விட்டுப் போகுது
Desire lights a fire within
Shyness is completely taking leave
பூஜைக்கு பூப் பூத்தது
சாமிதான் அதை கேக்குது
The flower for the worship has bloomed
The deity himself is asking for it
ஆடி மாசம் ஜாம பூஜ ஏது சாமி
Why conduct a midnight worship in the month of Aadi, my lord?
தேவியே இந்த சாமியின்
குறு பூஜைகள் புது பாணியே
Oh Goddess, for this deity
The sacred rituals follow a brand new style!
நேரமாச்சு மாமனே
ஈர மூச்சு வாங்குதே
Time has come, my dear uncle
Moist breath is gasping
நேரமாச்சு வா புள்ளே
ஈர மூச்சு வாங்குதே

Moist breath is gasping...
அடட இதுக்கு மேல் விளக்கம் எதுக்கு
நெருக்கமா வா
Aha, why do we need any more explanation than this?
Come closer to me
நேரமாச்சு வா புள்ளே
ஈர மூச்சு வாங்குதே
Time has come, come my girl...
Moist breath is gasping...
