பொன்னெடுத்து வாரேன் வாரேன்
உன் கழுத்தில் பூட்டப் போறேன்
என்னை அள்ளித் தாரேன் தாரேன்
உன்னத் தொட்டு நானும் வாரேன்
சொந்தம் இருக்கு
I am coming, bringing gold,
I am going to tie it around your neck.
I offer myself completely to you,
I come to touch you.
We have a relationship,
ஆ......
Ah…
சொர்க்கம் இருக்கு
Heaven exists,
ஆ......
Ah…
இன்பம் நமக்கு
Joy belongs to us.
ஆ... ஆ...ஆஅ....ஆ.....
I am coming, bringing gold,
I am going to tie it around your neck.
பொன்னெடுத்து வாரேன் வாரேன்
உன் கழுத்தில் பூட்டப் போறேன்
I offer myself completely to you,
I come to touch you.
என்னை அள்ளித் தாரேன் தாரேன்
உன்னத் தொட்டு நானும் வாரேன்
Just saying it brings delight,
Supreme bliss comes through you.
Words cannot exhaust describing,
This enchanting bond with my beloved.
சொன்னால் ஒரு ஆனந்தம்
உன்னால் வரும் பேரின்பம்
சொல்லிச் சொல்லி தீராது
சொக்க வெச்ச மாமன் சொந்தம்
The gentle breeze that touches us,
The sweet song it teaches us,
Listening to it day after day,
I came close with yearning.
தொட்டு வரும் பூங்காற்று
சொல்லித் தரும் தேன் பாட்டு
நித்தம் நித்தம் நான் கேட்டு
கிட்ட வந்தேன் ஆசப் பட்டு
Draped in a fine saree,
It flows like a fresh song.
Like a red lotus flower,
She is a young girl.
சிந்தாமணி சேல மூடி
சிந்தும் புதுப் பாட்டு தான்
செந்தாமரப் பூவப் போல
சின்னப் பொண்ணுதான்
Upon a body smooth as a mirror,
Shall I see myself every day?
When pleasure grows because of you,
Is it not heaven?
கண்ணாடி போல் மேனி மீது
என்னை தினம் பார்க்கவா
உன்னால் சுகம் கூடும் போது
சொர்க்கம் அல்லவா
Enough, a woman's delicate body will get sore.
Mhum mhum
போதும் பெண் மேனி புண்ணாகிப் போகும்
ம்ஹும் ம்ஹும்
I am coming, bringing gold,
I am going to tie it around your neck.
பொன்னெடுத்து வாரேன் வாரேன்
உன் கழுத்தில் பூட்டப் போறேன்
I offer myself completely to you,
I come to touch you.
என்னை அள்ளித் தாரேன் தாரேன்
உன்னத் தொட்டு நானும் வாரேன்
For so many days,
My body grew thin as a thread,
Lying above on the bed,
I tossed in pain and longing.
எத்தனையோ நாளாக
என் உடம்பு நூலாக
மெத்தையிலே மேலாக
தத்தளிச்சேன் மேனி நோக
Like a fountain of pouring rain,
Like a cool breeze in summer,
Like a brand new melody,
It overflows as time passes.
கொட்டும் மழை ஊற்றாக
கோடை குளிர் காற்றாக
புத்தம் புது பாட்டாக
பொங்குதடி போகப் போக
From head to toe,
A warmth rises within me.
Shyness comes when I look at your face.
உச்சி முதல் பாதம் தோறும்
உஷ்ணம் வந்து ஏறுது
உங்க முகம் பாத்த போது வெக்கம் வருது
Like red sugarcane juice,
It wells up deep inside.
River Ganges embraces River Vaigai.
செங்கரும்பு சாறு போல
உள்ளுக்குள்ள ஊறுது
கங்கை நதி வைகையோடு கட்டிக் கொள்ளுது
Enough, a woman's delicate body will get sore.
Mhum mhum
போதும் பெண் மேனி புண்ணாகிப் போகும்
ம்ஹும் ம்ஹும்
I am coming, bringing gold,
I am going to tie it around your neck.

I offer myself completely to you,
I come to touch you.
என்னை அள்ளித் தாரேன் தாரேன்
உன்னத் தொட்டு நானும் வாரேன்
We have a relationship,
சொந்தம் இருக்கு
Ah… heaven exists,
ஆ.......சொர்க்கம் இருக்கு
Oh… joy belongs to us.
ஓ........இன்பம் நமக்கு
I am coming, bringing gold,
I am going to tie it around your neck.
ஆ... ஆ...
பொன்னெடுத்து வாரேன் வாரேன்
உன் கழுத்தில் பூட்டப் போறேன்
என்னை அள்ளித் தாரேன் தாரேன்
உன்னத் தொட்டு நானும் வாரேன்
