களவாணி வாசம்
இனி என்ன சுத்தி வீசும்
அட தலகாணி பேசும்
எனக்கு ஒன்னும் தெரியல
To speak with my eyes,
Oh, the whole body gets goosebumps,
Now, the desire to blossom like a flower,
It is all because of you.
The fragrance of a thief/love thief,
Will now blow around me,
Oh, the pillow will talk now,
I don't understand anything.
வாடி செல்ல கிறுக்கி
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள வச்சேன் உன்ன உருக்கி
வயச கூட்டி பெருக்கி
குத்திகிட்டேன் உசுர நூலா நறுக்கி
Come, my sweet crazy girl,
I kept you inside my heart, melting you,
Adding and multiplying age,
I jumped, snipping my life like a thread.
சார பாம்ப போல

பாசத்தால கொத்துறடி நீ
I planted you inside my heart,
You are flowering and yielding fruits, swaying,
Like a chick raised by a mother,
You peck me affectionately, girl.
உள்ளங்கால் ரேகையா ஒட்டிக்கிடவா
உன்னோட சட்ட போல கட்டிக்கிடவா
உன் பேர நெஞ்சு மேல வெட்டிக்கிடவா
உனக்காக என்ன நானே திட்டிக்கிடவா
Shall I stick to you like the lines on your palm?
Shall I wrap around you like your shirt?
Shall I engrave your name upon my chest?
Shall I scold myself for your sake?
ஏ எனக்கேத்த வேட்டுகாரி
அழகான சண்டகாரி

Come, come, come,
Give yourself to me completely.

மனசுக்குள்ள மாளிகையே இருக்கு
ஊர தாண்டி வாடி உள்ளதான்
I got lost,
It is you who found and picked me up.
Why need any village dispute/panchayat in this?
There is a mansion inside my heart,
Come inside, crossing the village boundaries.
வாரேன்டா ராத்திரியில் பூத்து கிடக்கு

ஊர் என்ன சொன்னாலும் நீதான் எனக்கு
The verandah lies in full bloom at night,
The upper cloth waits for the mustache,
No matter what anyone says, I am yours,
No matter what the village says, you are mine.
ஏ ஜாதகத்த மாத்திபுட்டேன்
ஊரு சனம் உச்சி கொட்ட
வாரேன் வாரேன் வாரேன்

Making the village people click their tongues in awe,
I am coming, coming, coming,
To tie the sacred thread (mangalsutra) for you.

Beyond the translation

The lyrics blend playful teasing with deep affection, describing how she resides inside his heart like a flourishing plant and how he wishes to be as close to her as the lines on her palm or the shirt on her back.
