பருவம் பார்த்து அருகில் வந்தும் வெட்கமா
பருவம் பார்த்து அருகில் வந்தும் வெட்கமா
இல்லை பழக வந்த அழகன் மீது கொண்ட கோபமா
பழக வந்த அழகன் மீது கொண்ட கோபமா...
Having seen the right age and come near, are you feeling shy?
Having seen the right age and come near, are you feeling shy?
Or is it anger towards the handsome man who came to bond with you?

பருவம் பார்த்து அருகில் வந்தும் வெட்கமா
Having seen the right age and come near, are you feeling shy?
வருவார் வருவார் என்று வாசலில் நின்றாயோ
Did you stand at the doorway waiting, thinking 'He will come, he will come'?
வருவார் வருவார் என்று வாசலில் நின்றாயோ
வாடை என்னும் காற்று வந்து வதைத்திடக் கண்டாயோ
சென்றாயோ
Did you stand at the doorway waiting, thinking 'He will come, he will come'?
Did you see the chilly northern wind arriving to torment you?
Did you go away?
அங்கே வாடை என்னும் காற்று வந்து
வதைத்திடக் கண்டாயோ சென்றாயோ
பருவம் பார்த்து அருகில் வந்தும் வெட்கமா
There, the chilly northern wind arrived,
Did you see it tormenting you and leave?
Having seen the right age and come near, are you feeling shy?
ஞாயிறு பெற்றவள் நீ தானோ
திங்கள் என்பதுன் பேர் தானோ
Are you the daughter born to the Sun?
Is the Moon your name?

திங்கள் என்பதுன் பேர் தானோ
நலம் பாடும் செவ்வாயில்

பருவம் பார்த்து அருகில் வந்தும் வெட்கமா
Are you a dancing, solitary diamond statue?
Are you a heart-won companion captured in the net cast by clouds?
Having seen the right age and come near, are you feeling shy?
காலிலே சலங்கை கலீர் கலீர் என
கண்களிலே மின்னல் பளீர் பளீர் என
கைகள் வீசி வரும் கன்னி போல
எழில் காட்டியும் அமுதம் ஊட்டியும்
எழில் காட்டியும் அமுதம் ஊட்டியும்
என்னை வாட்டி வதைப்பதென்று
வடிவமான கலை வண்ணமே இயற்கை அன்னமே
With anklets on her feet chiming 'galeer galeer',
With lightning flashing bright in her eyes 'paleer paleer',
Like a maiden walking while swinging her arms,
Displaying grace and offering sweet nectar,
Displaying grace and offering sweet nectar,
Tormenting and agonizing me,
O beautiful artistic creation! O graceful swan of nature!
பருவம் பார்த்து அருகில் வந்தும் வெட்கமா
இல்லை பழக வந்த அழகன் மீது கொண்ட கோபமா
பருவம் பார்த்து அருகில் வந்தும் வெட்கமா.......
