ராசா ராசா உன்ன
வச்சிருக்கேன் நெஞ்சிலே
ரோசா பூவைபோல
Oh my king, my king, I have kept you in my heart
Like a tender rose flower
அடி கண்ணே கண்ணே
உன்னை கண்ணுக்குள்ள வச்சேனே
கண்ணுமணியப்போல
Oh my love, my darling, I have kept you inside my eyes
Like the precious pupil of my eye
நெல்லி கொத்தி
வைக்கும் எங்க பத்தாயத்துல
ஆசை கொட்டி வெச்சேன்
தினம் உன் நெனப்புல
In our traditional granary where gooseberries are stored
I poured out all my deep desires daily thinking of you
நீயும் இல்லாம
நானும் இல்லை
Without you, I have no existence
ராசா ராசா உன்ன
வச்சிருக்கேன் நெஞ்சிலே
ரோசா பூவைபோல
Oh my king, my king, I have kept you in my heart
Like a tender rose flower
அடி கண்ணே கண்ணே
உன்னை கண்ணுக்குள்ள வச்சேனே
கண்ணுமணியப்போல
Oh my love, my darling, I have kept you inside my eyes
Like the precious pupil of my eye

ராசாத்தி நீயும்தான்
பூகோலம் போடத்தான்
புள்ளிமான் புள்ளியெல்லாம்
வாங்கி வருவேன்
For you, my princess, to draw beautiful floral patterns
I will bring all the spots gathered from spotted deer
சாமிய சந்திச்சா
என் ஆயுள் காலத்தை
உன்னோட சேர்க்கும் வரம்
வாங்கி வருவேன்
If I ever meet God, I will ask for a special boon
To attach my entire lifespan onto yours
தோளுலே ஊஞ்சல்
கட்டி தோகமயிலே தாலாட்டுவேன்
Tying a swing on my shoulders, oh peacock-like maiden, I will sing you a lullaby
வீசும் காத்தை
சல்லடையால சரிச்சு
தூசி எடுப்பேன் உனக்கும்
மூச்சு குடுப்பேன்
The wind that blows softly...
I will filter it with a sieve to remove dust particles
And give you clean air to breathe
ராசா ராசா உன்ன
வச்சிருக்கேன் நெஞ்சிலே
ரோசா பூவைபோல
Oh my king, my king, I have kept you in my heart
Like a tender rose flower

முள்ளைப்பூ காம்புதான்
உன் கையை குத்தாதா ஊருக்குள்
காம்பில்லாத பூவும் பூக்காதா
Won't the stem of a jasmine flower prick your delicate hand?
Does any flower in this world bloom without a stem?
செம்மண்ணின் புழுதி
உன் கண்ணில் விழுமே புழுதி
காத்தில்லாம பூமி சுத்தாதா
The dust from the red soil might fall into your eyes
Does the earth rotate without dusty winds blowing around?
மூக்குத்தி குத்தாதடி
எனக்கு வலிக்கும் வேணாமடி
Do not pierce your nose ring, my dear, it hurts me, so please don't
உனக்கு வலிச்சா
மறுநொடி நானும் உசுர
கையில் எடுப்பேன் உனக்கு
நானும் குடுப்பேன்
If you feel any pain, the very next second I will hold my life in my hands
And offer my life to you
ராசா ராசா உன்ன
வச்சிருக்கேன் நெஞ்சிலே
ரோசா பூவைபோல
Oh my king, my king, I have kept you in my heart
