சம்மதம் சொல்ல வந்தாள்
சிறு தாமரைப் பூவினை தந்தாள்
சம்மதம் சொல்ல வந்தாள்
சிறு தாமரைப் பூவினை தந்தாள்
தந்த நேரம் நல்ல நேரம்
இளம் பாவை உந்தன் ஓரம்
She came to express her consent,
And gave a small lotus flower.
She came to express her consent,
And gave a small lotus flower.
The moment she gave it was an auspicious time,
Beside you, oh young maiden.
சம்மதம் சொல்ல வந்தாள்
சிறு தாமரைப் பூவினை தந்தாள்
தந்த நேரம் நல்ல நேரம்
இளம் பாவை எந்தன் ஓரம்
She came to express her consent,
And gave a small lotus flower.
The moment she gave it was an auspicious time,
Beside you, oh young maiden.
காவேரி ஓரம் பொன்மாலை நேரம்
கண்ணே உன் கை சேர நான் தேடினேன்
கண்ணா உன் தோளில் பூமாலையாக
எப்போதும் நான் ஆடத்தான் வேண்டினேன்
On the banks of river Kaveri, during a golden evening,
My dear, I searched to hold your hand.
Female: Oh my beloved, like a flower garland on your shoulders,
I prayed to sway forever.
மரகத வீணை மேனியில்
அதிசய ராகம் மீட்டினேன்
தினசரி உன்னை நாடினேன்
On her body shaped like an emerald veena,
I played a wondrous melody.
Every day I sought after you.
சம்மதம் சொல்ல வந்தாள்
சிறு தாமரைப் பூவினை தந்தாள்
She came to express her consent,
And gave a small lotus flower.
குற்றாலச்சாரல் சிற்றாடை மீதில்
பட்டாடும் போதென்ன ஆனந்தமோ
சிற்றோடை ஒன்று வற்றாமல் இன்று
ஊற்றாகப் பாய்கின்ற ஆரம்பமோ
The Kuttralam drizzle on the fine silk dress,
What immense joy when it touches and sways!
Male: A small stream today, without drying up,
Is this the beginning of a gushing spring?
இனம் அறியாத வேதனை
தொடர்கதை ஆகிப்போனதே
சுகமெனும் கீதம் பாடுதே..
An inexplicable ache,
Has become a continuing saga.
A song called bliss is playing now.
இன்றைக்கு காதல் நன்நாள்
கண்ணன் உன்னுடன் சேரும் பொன்நாள்
புது நாணம் அலை மோதும்
இது போதும் போதும் போதும்
Today is love's auspicious day,
A golden day when Krishna unites with you.
A new wave of shyness crashes upon,
This is enough, enough, enough!
சம்மதம் சொல்ல வந்தாள்
சிறு தாமரைப் பூவினை தந்தாள்
தந்த நேரம் நல்ல நேரம்
இளம் பாவை உந்தன் ஓரம்....
