சரியோ சரியோ
நான் காதலித்தது
Is it right, is it right,
That I fell in love?

நான் காதலித்தது
Is it right, is it right,
That I fell in love?
சரியோ சரியோ
நான் காதலித்தது
சரியோ சரியோ
நான் காதலித்தது
மடி மேலே வைத்து
மகராஜன் கொஞ்ச
மணிமுத்தம் சிந்த
மெதுவாக கெஞ்ச
ஆடிக் கொண்டாடும் ஆனந்தக் கூத்து
Is it right, is it right,
That I fell in love?
Is it right, is it right,
That I fell in love?
Placing me on your lap,
As the king fondles,
Shedding pearl-like kisses,
Softly pleading,
It is a joyous dance celebrated with joy.
சரிதான் சரிதான்

சரிதான் சரிதான்
நீ காதலித்தது
It is right indeed, it is right indeed,
That you fell in love.
It is right indeed, it is right indeed,
That you fell in love.
பாய் போடத் தானே
தாய் மாமன் நானே
பூவைக்குப் பூவை
வைக்க வந்தேனே
To lay out the mat,
I am the maternal uncle.
To place flowers upon flowers,
I have come.
நீ வைத்த பூவும்
நான் வைத்த பொட்டும்
நீங்காத சொந்தம்
என்று கண்டேனே
The flowers you adorned,
And the bindi I placed,
An inseparable bond,
I realized it to be.
நீயின்றி எனக்கு
யார்தான் பொருத்தம்
Without you, for me,
Who else is a perfect match?
ஆனாலும் சில பேர்
மனதில் வருத்தம்
Even so, some people,
Have sorrow in their hearts.
கண்ணே நீ என்றும் பாடு
காதலின் விருத்தம்
My dear, always sing,
The verse of love.
சரியோ சரியோ
நான் காதலித்தது
சரியோ சரியோ

மெதுவாக கெஞ்ச
ஆடிக் கொண்டாடும் ஆனந்தக் கூத்து
Placing me on your lap,
As the king fondles,
Shedding pearl-like kisses,
Softly pleading,
It is a joyous dance celebrated with joy.

சரிதான் சரிதான்
நீ காதலித்தது
It is right indeed, it is right indeed,
That you fell in love.
பூ மாலை சூட
பொன்னூஞ்சல் ஆட
கல்யாண மேளச்
சத்தம் கேட்காதோ
To wear a flower garland,
To swing on a golden swing,
The sound of wedding drums,
Will it not be heard?
கட்டில்கள் போட
கச்சேரி பாட
பூந்தென்றல் எட்டி எட்டி
பார்க்காதோ
To set up the bed,
For music concerts to perform,
Will the gentle breeze not peep and look,
Peeping over?
நீ என்னை தாங்கு
மார்பில் நிறுத்தி
Hold me close,
Resting me on your chest,
நீயின்றி ஏது
வாழ்வில் ஒருத்தி
Without you, who else,
Is the only woman in my life?
நான் தானே வாடை பட்டு
வெடிக்கின்ற பருத்தி
I am indeed the one struck by the cold wind,
Like cotton bursting open.
