Pondatti illaennaa thindaattam
Idha purinjavan vaazhkkai kondaattam
Ammaadi nee oru poovaattam
Unna suththuraenadi pon vandaattam
Yaei sutterikkum veyyil adichchaa
Manam nizhalukku alaiyuthammaa
Haei suduthanni ooththkittu
Suththi varum vaazhkkaiyilae
Ullaasam thevaiyammaa

...
Without a wife, life is a struggle,
and the one who understands this enjoys a life of celebration!
Oh dear, you are like a flower,
and I hover around you like a golden bee!
When the scorching sun beats down,
the heart wanders around searching for shade.
In this rushed daily grind
that keeps revolving in circles,
joy is a necessity, my dear!
Without a wife, life is a struggle,
and the one who understands this enjoys a life of celebration!
Oh dear, you are like a flower,
and I hover around you like a golden bee!
The Creator who made the elephant,
why did He make woman, my dear?
Female: Only to hold her in a warm embrace,
to let the family lineage flourish,
and to know how sweet love truly is!
Hoy, when should one cuddle
a pretty wife? When he turns sixty?
Female: The heart is full of desire, youth is on our side,
so what stops you from taking me into your arms?
If you join with me every day,
every day will be heaven for you!
Female: This thaali (sacred marriage thread) you gave me,
this is enough, I will stay by your side forever.
Giving sweet kisses
and coming together brings a brand new pleasure.
Female: Only because this love exists in life
does a family hold together.
Without a wife, life is a struggle,
and the one who understands this enjoys a life of celebration!
Oh dear, you are like a flower,
and I hover around you like a golden bee!
In the kingdom of love,
it is the woman who rules, isn't she?
Male: If a woman just glances with her eyes,
a man will move a mountain!
He will even scoop up the Bay of Bengal and gargle it!
Hoy... if there is no love,
the thaali (sacred marriage thread) and turmeric are just a burden!
Male: If a woman is understanding and makes him feel her love,
a man will surrender his very life!
Happiness and sweet music flow
on the days I rest on your chest!
Male: I always keep an eye
on your turmeric-scented shoulders!
My body is soft like jasmine,
oh lover, learn to touch it ever so gently!
Male: When you lean on the shoulder of the man who tied your thaali,
every single day is a honeymoon!
Without a wife, life is a struggle,
and the one who understands this enjoys a life of celebration!
Oh dear, you are like a flower,
and I hover around you like a golden bee!
When the scorching sun beats down,
the heart wanders around searching for shade.
In this rushed daily grind
that keeps revolving in circles,
joy is a necessity, my dear!
