| Male | |
| Alagin uruvaa | An embodiment of beauty, |
| Nadakkum nilavaa | A walking moon, |
| Kulathil kulikkum | Bathing in the pond, |
| Kuru Nadhiyadaa | She is a tiny river! |
| Male | |
| Pudavai aniyum puthiya puyalaa | A new storm draped in a saree, |
| Paravai inaththil jolikkum mayila | A peacock shining among the birds, |
| Moochil poovaai vaasam serpaal | She adds flower-like fragrance to her breath, |
| Pechil kaaichal nodiyil kodupaal | Her words can cause a fever in a second, |
| Male | |
| Alagaai edhuvum ethiril illai | Nothing in front of her looks beautiful, |
| Ivalai paartha piragu edhuvum | After witnessing her, nothing |
| Nigare illai | Is ever equal, |
| Male | |
| Uyirai asaikkum poovaasanai | A floral fragrance that stirs the soul, |
| Raaja magalai pol thoranai | A majestic demeanor like a royal princess, |
| Kanukkaal vazhiye vazhiyum | Flowing down along her ankles, |
| Thuliyil vinmeen theriyum | A star is visible inside the water drop, |
| Male | |
| Ivalin alagai vilai pesida | To quote a price for her beauty, |
| Kadavulidamum kai kaasu illai | Even God lacks the required money, |
| Asainthaal ulagae asaiyum | If she sways, the whole world sways, |
| Ivalaal ethuvum mudiyum | Anything is possible because of her, |
| Male | |
| Thooral pennai paarthen | I saw a woman who is like a gentle drizzle, |
| Veesum kaatril verththen | I sweated even in the blowing breeze, |
| Sugamaai mm sugamaai | Pleasantly, mmm pleasantly, |
| Idhamaai Idhamaai | So soothingly, so soothingly. |
அழகின் உருவா
நடக்கும் நிலவா
குளத்தில் குளிக்கும்
குறு நதியடா
An embodiment of beauty,
A walking moon,
Bathing in the pond,
She is a tiny river!
புடவை அணியும் புதிய புயலா
பறவை இனத்தில் ஜொலிக்கும் மயிலா
மூச்சில் பூவாய் வாசம் சேர்ப்பாள்
பேச்சில் காய்ச்சல் நொடியில் கொடுப்பாள்
A new storm draped in a saree,
A peacock shining among the birds,
She adds flower-like fragrance to her breath,
Her words can cause a fever in a second,
அழகாய் எதுவும் எதிரில் இல்லை
இவளை பார்த்த பிறகு எதுவும்
நிகரே இல்லை
Nothing in front of her looks beautiful,
After witnessing her, nothing
Is ever equal,
உயிரை அசைக்கும் பூ வாசனை
ராஜ மகளை போல் தோரணை
கனுக்கால் வழியே வழியும்
துளியில் விண்மீன் தெரியும்
A floral fragrance that stirs the soul,
A majestic demeanor like a royal princess,
Flowing down along her ankles,
A star is visible inside the water drop,
இவளின் அழகை விலை பேசிட
கடவுளிடமும் கை காசு இல்லை
அசைந்தால் உலகே அசையும்
இவளால் எதுவும் முடியும்
To quote a price for her beauty,
Even God lacks the required money,
If she sways, the whole world sways,
Anything is possible because of her,
தூறல் பெண்ணை பார்த்தேன்
வீசும் காற்றில் வேர்த்தேன்
சுகமாய் ம்ம் சுகமாய்.....
இதமாய் இதமாய்.....
I saw a woman who is like a gentle drizzle,
I sweated even in the blowing breeze,
Pleasantly, mmm pleasantly,
So soothingly, so soothingly.
Alagin uruvaa
An embodiment of beauty,
Nadakkum nilavaa
A walking moon,
Kulathil kulikkum
Bathing in the pond,
Kuru Nadhiyadaa
She is a tiny river!
Pudavai aniyum puthiya puyalaa
A new storm draped in a saree,
Paravai inaththil jolikkum mayila
A peacock shining among the birds,
Moochil poovaai vaasam serpaal
She adds flower-like fragrance to her breath,
Pechil kaaichal nodiyil kodupaal
Her words can cause a fever in a second,
Alagaai edhuvum ethiril illai
Nothing in front of her looks beautiful,
Ivalai paartha piragu edhuvum
After witnessing her, nothing
Nigare illai
Is ever equal,
Uyirai asaikkum poovaasanai
A floral fragrance that stirs the soul,
Raaja magalai pol thoranai
A majestic demeanor like a royal princess,
Kanukkaal vazhiye vazhiyum
Flowing down along her ankles,
Thuliyil vinmeen theriyum
A star is visible inside the water drop,
Ivalin alagai vilai pesida
To quote a price for her beauty,
Kadavulidamum kai kaasu illai
Even God lacks the required money,
Asainthaal ulagae asaiyum
If she sways, the whole world sways,
Ivalaal ethuvum mudiyum
Anything is possible because of her,
Thooral pennai paarthen
I saw a woman who is like a gentle drizzle,
Veesum kaatril verththen
I sweated even in the blowing breeze,
Sugamaai mm sugamaai
Pleasantly, mmm pleasantly,
Idhamaai Idhamaai
So soothingly, so soothingly.
