கடமழியேல்
லேக்கரியுமாய் கிறங்கி
கிறங்கி வந்தவள ஒருங்கி
மினுங்கி சினுங்கி மயங்கி
நட நடன்னல் நெஞ்சுனுள்ள
ஜனக்கு ஜனக்கு சிங்காரியே
அதுரம் மதுரம் நுகரும் தருணம்
Like an intoxication in a wild shower
The girl who came swooning and dizzy
Adorned, shining, blushing, and mesmerized
When she walked her footsteps inside the heart
Oh stylish and beautiful maiden
It is the right moment to savor eagerness and sweetness

Crawls across the sky..
The heat in the breath
Is creating a roadblock..
Only the bed
Searches for me..
