கட்டு மல்லி கட்டி வெச்சா
வட்ட கருப்பு பொட்டு வெச்சா
சந்திரனில் ரெண்டு வெச்சா
சாரா பாம்பு இடுப்பு வெச்சா
Tied wild jasmine flowers
Placed a round black bindi
Placed two moons for eyes
Placed a waist slender like a rat-snake
நட்சத்திர தொட்டி வெச்சா
கரும்பு கோடு நெத்தி வெச்சா
இஞ்சி வெட்டி கன்னம் வெச்சா
இம்மாதூண்டு வெட்கம் வெச்சா
Placed a cradle made of stars
Placed a sugarcane stroke on her forehead
Placed cheeks like freshly sliced ginger
Placed a tiny speck of shyness
நெத்தி பொட்டில் என்ன தூக்கி
பொட்டு போல வெச்சவளே
சுத்து பட்டு ஊரே பாக்க
கண்ணு பட்டு வந்தவளே
The woman who lifted me into her forehead bindi
And wore me like a black dot
While the surrounding town watched in admiration
She caught everyone's evil eye
தெத்து பள்ளு ஓரத்துல
உச்சு கொட்டும் நேரத்துல
பட்டுனு பாத்தியே
உச்ச கட்டம் தொட்டவளே
At the edge of her overlapping tooth
In the brief moment of clicking tongues
You caught fire instantly
The woman who reached the pinnacle of beauty!
