கால் இரண்டும் மண் மேல பாவ
உன் கண்ணிரெண்டும் என் மேலே தாவ
அட உன்னப் போல ஊருக்குள்ள யாருமில்ல
வாடிப் புள்ள....
As both your feet rest on the earth
As both your eyes leap onto me
Ah, there is no one like you in this entire town
Come here, girl
சங்கீதக் குயிலே என் சிங்கார மயிலே
நீ அசைஞ்சு நடக்கையிலே
மனசு கெடந்து இங்கே தவியாத் தவிக்குதடி
நீ கண்டாங்கி கட்டிக்கிட்டு
கம்மாங் கரையோரம் வந்தாக்க போதுமடி
Oh musical cuckoo, oh my beautiful peacock
As you walk with a sway
My heart lies here yearning desperately, my girl
Wearing your Kandangi saree
It is enough if you come to the edge of the millet field, girl
ஆச மொட்டு விட்டு பூவாப் பூத்தது
அத மூட சேலைக்கிப்போ வேளை வந்தது
ஆச மொட்டு விட்டு பூவாப் பூத்தது
அத மூட சேலைக்கிப்போ வேளை வந்தது
Desire bloomed from a bud into a flower
Now it is time for the saree to cover it
Desire bloomed from a bud into a flower
Now it is time for the saree to cover it
மஞ்சத் தாவணி காத்தில் ஆடி என்ன வாட்டுது
நெஞ்சம் ஆவணி மாசம் தங்கத் தாலிக் கேக்குது
ஹே ஆகட்டும் கொஞ்சக் காலம்தான்
அள்ளிக் கொண்டு போவேனே இந்த மாமன்தான்
மெல்லத்தான் அணைப்பேன் கிட்ட வா என் பூந்தேனே
பழக வரும்......
The yellow half-saree sways in the wind and taunts me
Female: My heart asks for a golden marriage knot in the month of Aavani
Male: Hey, let just a little time pass
This uncle will carry you away
I will gently embrace you, come close my flower-honey
Getting used to it will come
சங்கீதக் குயிலே என் சிங்கார மயிலே
நீ அசைஞ்சு நடக்கையிலே
மனசு கெடந்து இங்கே தவியாத் தவிக்குதடி....ஹாங்..
Oh musical cuckoo, oh my beautiful peacock
As you walk with a sway
My heart lies here yearning desperately, my girl
Haang
சோளக்காடு நம்ம சேத்து வச்சது
என்ன ஆள சொந்தம் உன்ன பாத்து வச்சது
சோளக்காடு நம்ம சேத்து வச்சது
என்ன ஆள சொந்தம் உன்ன பாத்து வச்சது
The corn field brought us together
My destiny chose you to rule over me
The corn field brought us together
My destiny chose you to rule over me
பட்டுப் பாயில சாயும்போதும் தூக்கம் வல்லையே
கெட்டி மேளத்தை கேட்கும் வரை ஏக்கம் தொல்லையே
ஹோய் தாலிக்கு சொல்லிவிடுங்க
சொந்தம் கொள்ளும் நாள் மட்டும் தள்ளி இருங்க
அந்த நாள் வருவேன் இந்த மாமன் தோள் மேலே பூப்போலே...
Even when lying on the silk mat
Sleep does not come
Male: Until we hear the wedding drums
Longing is a trouble
Female: Hey, tell them to prepare the sacred thread
Just stay at a distance until the day we become relatives
I will come that day on this uncle's shoulder like a flower
சங்கீதக் குயிலே என் சிங்கார மயிலே
நீ அசைஞ்சு நடக்கையிலே
மனசு கெடந்து இங்கே தவியாத் தவிக்குதடி
நீ கண்டாங்கி கட்டிக்கிட்டு
கம்மாங் கரையோரம் வந்தாக்க போதுமடி
Oh musical cuckoo, oh my beautiful peacock
As you walk with a sway
My heart lies here yearning desperately, my girl
Wearing your Kandangi saree
It is enough if you come to the edge of the millet field, girl
சங்கீதக் குயில்தான் உன் சிங்கார மயில்தான்
நீ அணைச்சு புடிக்கையிலே
மனசு கெடந்து இங்கே துடியா துடிக்குதய்யா
புது கண்டாங்கி வாங்கிக்கிட்டு
கல்யாண நாள் பார்த்து வந்தாக்க போதுமய்யா...
I am indeed your musical cuckoo, your beautiful peacock
When you hold me close in an embrace
My heart lies here throbbing with intensity, my man
Buy a new Kandangi saree
It is enough if you pick a wedding day and come, my man
Kaal irandum mann mela paava

Un kannirandum en mela thaava
As both your eyes leap onto me
Ada unna pola oorukkul yaarum illa
Ah, there is no one like you in this entire town
Vaadi pulla
