பருவக் காலம் தவறிப் போனால்
பழமும் காயாய் மாறாது
காதல் பசியும் அங்கே தீராது
If the youthful season passes by,
Unripe fruit will not turn back from a ripe fruit,
And the hunger for love will remain unsatisfied there.
பருவக் காலம் தவறிப் போனால்
பழமும் காயாய் மாறாது
காதல் பசியும் அங்கே தீராது...

And the hunger for love will remain unsatisfied there.
பாராளும் ராஜா இது பறிக்காத ரோஜா
பாராளும் ராஜா இது பறிக்காத ரோஜா
வாரும் அருகினிலே கண்ணாளா
வாரும் அருகினிலே......
வாழ்வில் காணாத இன்பம் பார் இங்கே
என் ஆசை நாயகா
Oh king who rules the world, this is an unplucked rose,
Oh king who rules the world, this is an unplucked rose,
Come closer, my sweet beloved,
Come closer,
Look here at a bliss never before seen in life,
My desired lord.

அஞ்ஞான நிலையை அடையாத கிளி நான்
அஞ்ஞான நிலையை அடையாத கிளி நான்
அமிர்தயோகம் இன்றே பேராளா
அமிர்தயோகம் இன்றே
அருகில் வாராய் என் மன்னா என் கண்ணா
என் ஆவல் தீரவே....
I am a parrot that has not reached a state of ignorance,
