பூவாச்சு பூத்து வந்து மாசம் ரெண்டாச்சு
பூங்காத்து மேலே பட்டு காதல் உண்டாச்சு
நான் மெதுவாகத்தான் தேன் பரிமாறத்தான்
It bloomed, two months have passed since I blossomed
Touched by the gentle breeze, love was born
For me to slowly serve the honey
பூவாச்சு பூத்து வந்து மாசம் ரெண்டாச்சு
பூங்காத்து மேலே பட்டு காதல் உண்டாச்சு
நீ மெதுவாகத்தான் தேன் பரிமாறத்தான்
It bloomed, two months have passed since I blossomed
Touched by the gentle breeze, love was born
For me to slowly serve the honey
பூவாச்சு பூத்து வந்து மாசம் ரெண்டாச்சு
பூங்காத்து மேலே பட்டு காதல் உண்டாச்சு
It bloomed, two months have passed since I blossomed
Touched by the gentle breeze, love was born
அழகிய இலக்கணம் எனக்கிருக்க
அதற்கொரு இலக்கியம் அருகிருக்க
பழகிய நினைவுகள் கனிந்திருக்க
While I possess beautiful grammar
With a piece of literature standing right beside it
As sweet old memories have ripened
மானொரு கண்ணும் மீனொரு கண்ணும்
மேவிய பூஞ்சிட்டு
ஆசை பிறக்க ஆடியிருக்க
மேனி முழுக்க வாசம் மணக்க.......
With one eye like a deer and the other like a fish
A cherished little bird
Dancing as desire is born
With sweet fragrance wafting all over the body
பூவாச்சு பூத்து வந்து மாசம் ரெண்டாச்சு
பூங்காத்து மேலே பட்டு காதல் உண்டாச்சு
It bloomed, two months have passed since I blossomed
Touched by the gentle breeze, love was born
பழரசம் இதழ்களில் வடிந்திருக்க
நவரசம் விழிகளில் படிந்திருக்க
பலரசம் உறவினில் விளைந்திருக்க
With fruit juice trickling from the lips
With nine emotions settling in the eyes
With the sweet juice of relationship yield in fruit
நாளொரு வண்ணம் பொழுதொரு இன்பம்
போடுது உன்னாலே
மாலை தொடங்கி காலை வரைக்கும்
அள்ளியெடுக்க கிள்ளியெடுக்க
A new color every day, a new delight every moment
Happens because of you
Starting from the evening till the morning
To gather closely and hold tenderly
பூவாச்சு பூத்து வந்து மாசம் ரெண்டாச்சு
பூங்காத்து மேலே பட்டு காதல் உண்டாச்சு
It bloomed, two months have passed since I blossomed
Touched by the gentle breeze, love was born
இடையினில் நடந்தது சிறுகதைபோல்
இருவரும் இணைந்தது தொடர்கதைபோல்
பிறருக்கு இதுவொரு விடுகதைபோல்
What happened in between was like a short story
The union of the two was like a continuous serial story
To others, this is like a riddle
கையோடு கையும் மெய்யொடு மெய்யும்
பின்னி இணைந்தாட
இன்னொருத்தி என்னை இழுக்க
கன்னி அணைப்பில் தன்னை மறக்க
Hand entwined with hand, body united with body
Intertwined and playing together
While another woman pulls me
Forgetting oneself in the maiden's embrace
பூவாச்சு பூத்து வந்து மாசம் ரெண்டாச்சு
பூங்காத்து மேலே பட்டு காதல் உண்டாச்சு
It bloomed, two months have passed since I blossomed
Touched by the gentle breeze, love was born
நீ மெதுவாகத்தான் தேன் பரிமாறத்தான்
For you to slowly serve the honey
பூவாச்சு பூத்து வந்து மாசம் ரெண்டாச்சு
பூங்காத்து மேலே பட்டு காதல் உண்டாச்சு
