தப்பி ஓடாதே தங்கமே
Do not escape and run away, my precious gold
பெண் குழு :
தப்பி ஓடாதே தங்கமே
Do not run away…
ஓடாதே...
Even if you run far away
Even if you leap and play
I will cast a net with my eyes and pull you close
பெண் குழு :
தப்பி ஓடாதே தங்கமே
I caught a fish using a fishing hook
It squirms and runs away
While caressing the caged parrot
It flew away from the cage
Wherever you go
தள்ளி தள்ளி ஓடினாலும்
துள்ளி விளையாடினாலும்
கண்ணாலே வலை வீசி கட்டி இழுப்பேன்
I will come there
பெண் குழு :
தப்பி ஓடாதே தங்கமே
Do not leave and go away
தூண்டில் போட்டு மீனை பிடித்தேன்
துடித்து துடித்து ஓடுதே
கூண்டு கிளியை கொஞ்சிடும் வேளை
கூட்டை விட்டே பறந்ததே
நீ எங்கே சென்றாலும்
If I cast a net with my eyes and walk ahead
Shouldn't you run behind me?
பெண் குழு :
ஆ.....ஆ...
In the world called desire
The goddess named beauty
You crowned me with the flawless crown of love
The goddess named beauty in the world called desire
நான் அங்கு வருவேனே
Let us sing joyful songs
Let our hearts merge and dance
Let us unite forever
Let us seek a sweet life
Let us seek a sweet life
பெண் குழு :
ஆ.....ஆ...
Princess, a rose flower
I am a princess, a fresh rose flower
Will my desire be fulfilled… oh?
விட்டுச் செல்லாதே

காதல் பொல்லாதே
கண்ணால் வலை வீசி முன்னால் நடந்தாலே
பின்னாலே ஓடி வர வேண்டாமோ
பெண் குழு :
தப்பி ஓடாதே தங்கமே
பெண் குழு :
ஜெய ஜெய ஹோ
ஜெய ஜெய ஹோ
ஜெய ஜெய ஹோ
ஜெய ஜெய ஹோ
ஆசை என்னும் உலகிலே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the romantic longing, regal pride, and playful charm of a princess towards her lover. She compares her radiant beauty to a fresh blooming rose and the full moon, wondering if her deepest romantic desires will come to fruition. Teasing her beloved for standing far away and being hesitant, she urges him to step closer, speak sweet words, and gaze into her eyes to see his reflection. As the song progresses, she playfully warns him that no matter how much he tries to flee like a squirming fish or a bird escaping a cage, she will entangle him using the magical net of her eyes. Ultimately, the song resolves into a celebrated vision of mutual love, where both lovers crown each other with pure affection, sing joyful melodies, and envision a prosperous, happy life together.
