மாலை செந்தூரம்
பாவை கண்ணோரம்
காதில் சந்தோஷமே
ஆசையின் தேர்வலம் போகுதே ஊர்வலம்
The evening vermilion color,
At the corner of the maiden's eyes,
Joy filled in the ears,
Let us swing like a cradle, come running my beloved!
சேலை செண்டோடு
வாழ்வை கொண்டாடும்
யோகம் என் யோகமே
ஊஞ்சல் போல் ஆடலாம் ஓடிவா கண்மணி
Along with the red saree,
Celebrating this life,
What a great fortune my fortune is!
Let us swing like a cradle, come running my beloved!
இளமையின் கனவு வளர்கின்ற பொழுது
இது ஒரு கார்க்காலம்
இதழ்களை விரித்து மதுரத்தை தெளித்து
சிரித்தது பூக்கோலம்
As the dreams of youth grow and bloom,
This is the rainy season of romance.
Male: Unfurling the petals and sprinkling sweetness,
The floral carpet smiled.
அள்ளும் கை மீது முல்லை பந்தாக
ஆடும் என் தேகமே
Upon the hands at night, like a ball of jasmine,
My body sways gracefully.

காலம் கொண்டாடும்
காதல் சங்கீதம்
வாழ்வின் உல்லாசமே
தேவரும் மூவரும் தேவி முன் சரணமே
The time celebrates
The music of love,
The delight of life!
Even the Gods and the Holy Trinity bow before the Goddess.
பூஜை இல்லாமல்
போதை மந்தாரம்
பூவில் உண்டானதே
கண்களில் சாமரம் கொண்டதே பெண்ணினம்
Without any ritual worship,
An intoxicating fragrance
Was born in the flower.
Womanhood holds a royal fan in her eyes.
இடையினில் தொடங்கி
இதழ்களில் வழியும்
இளமையை ருசிக்கட்டுமா
தடைகளை ஒதுக்கி
தலைவனின் மடியில்
தனிமையை ரசிக்கட்டுமா
Starting from the waist,
Overflowing onto the lips,
Shall I taste this youthfulness?
Female: Setting aside all obstacles,
On my beloved's lap,
Shall I relish this sweet solitude?
பொண்ணே பொண்ணாகி
மின்னல் உண்டாக்கி
உன்னை மயக்கட்டுமா
Becoming pure gold,
Creating flashes of lightning,
Shall I entrance and mesmerize you?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This classic duet draws a poetic parallel between the eternal divine romance of Radha and Krishna in Vrindavan and the intimate, joyful love shared by the modern protagonists. The song opens with sacred chants that seamlessly transition into a romantic melody where the hero's flute-like music invites the heroine, whose bangles answer back in rhythmic harmony. Through vibrant imagery of flowers, monsoon rains, swinging cradles, and golden lighting, the lovers celebrate youth, romance, and blissful togetherness.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Thadaigalai odhukki / Thalaivanin madiyil / Thanimaiyai rasikattuma”
The recurrence of the initial Tamil letter 'Tha' across consecutive lines creates rhythmic flow and lyrical cohesion.
Simile (Uvamai)
“Oonjal pol aadalam oodivaa kanmani”
The phrase compares swaying playfully in love to a swinging cradle ('oonjal pol'), using 'pol' as the explicit comparison marker.
Metaphor (Uruvagaimai)
“Allum kai meedhu mullai panthaaga”
The heroine's fragrant, graceful body is metaphorically framed as a ball made of jasmine flowers ('mullai panthu').
