ஆவாரம் பூவின் மஞ்சள்
அம்மா உன் அழகில் கொஞ்சும்
அந்தி மந்தாரை உந்தன் கண்கள்
The yellow of the Tanner's Cassia flower
Oh, plays softly in your beauty
Your eyes are like the evening hibiscus
செவ்வந்திப் பூவைப்போல்
புன்னகை சிந்தும் உந்தன்
சிங்காரச் செவ்வாயின் இன்பப் பொங்கல்
Like the yellow chrysanthemum
Your smile scatters flowers, and
The sweet joy overflows from your lovely red lips

அதில் உன்னைத்தானே நான் காணுகின்றேன்
When I see a flower garden in the morning
In that, it is only you that I behold
ராஜா உன்னை பார்த்தாலே போதும்
என் கன்னம் பால் மின்னும்
