என்னவொரு பார்வையம்மாடி
என்னவொரு ஜாடையம்மாடி
என்னவொரு ஆடையம்மாடி…
What a gaze, oh my goodness!
What a gesture, oh my goodness!
What an attire, oh my goodness!
என்னவொரு மாயக்கண்ணாடி
வந்து நின்னு நானும் முன்னாடி
துள்ளிவரும் ஆடத்தையாடி
What a magical mirror!
I came and stood right in front of it,
And danced a joyful, leaping dance.
விரல் அசைவோ
எனை ஏதோ செய்தாய்
ஒளி கசிவே
ஒருவித மாயம் செய்தாய்
With just the movement of your fingers,
You did something mystical to me.
Like a leak of light,
You performed a kind of magic.
தலை முடியால்
அடி தூண்டில் இட்டாய்
விரும்பி அழகாய்
சிறு மீனாக மாற்றினேன்
With your flowing hair,
Oh girl, you cast a hook!
And willingly, beautifully,
I got caught like a small fish.
யே சீமைக்காரியே மாயமாகியே
ஏனோ வானாகி வேலாகி பார்த்தாய்
சீமைக்காரியே ஆலங்கட்டியே
நீதான் உள்ளூரில் வீழ்ந்திடும்
மழையா பனியா
Oh noble girl, oh magic woman!
Why did you look like the sky and a sharp spear?
Oh aristocrat, oh hailstone!
Are you the rain or the frost
That falls in my hometown?
என்னவொரு பார்வையம்மாடி
என்னவொரு ஜாடையம்மாடி
என்னவொரு ஆடையம்மாடி…
What a gaze, oh my goodness!
What a gesture, oh my goodness!
What an attire, oh my goodness!

Like an owl that never sleeps,
The life that I have lived,
Just by the thought of you,
Lies fallen down, I wonder why.
தூங்கா ஆந்தை
அடி நான் கொண்ட வாழ்க்கை
உன் நினைவாலே
வீழ்ந்து கிடக்கும் ஏனோ ஏனோ
The fragrance of welcome,
Breezes on its own accord.
All five of my senses
Are becoming enriched, I wonder why.
வாவீர்ப்பின் வாசம்
அது தானாக வீசும்
என் புலன் ஐந்தும்
வளளல்கள் ஆகும் ஏனோ ஏனோ
You are a five-colored cloud
That the sky has never seen.
You are a melodic rhythm
That the earth has never heard.
நீ ஆகாயம் காணத
பஞ்ச வர்ண மேகம்
நீ பூலோகம் கேட்காத
ராக தாளம்
You are a distant silence
That has spoken to no one.
You are a jangling, swinging cradle.
நீ யாரோடும் பேசாத
தூர தேசம் மெளனம்
நீ ஜல் ஜல் ஊஞ்சல்
Oh noble girl, oh magic woman!
Why did you look like the sky and a sharp spear?
Oh aristocrat, oh hailstone!
Are you the rain or the frost
That falls in my hometown?
யே சீமைக்காரியே மாயமாகியே
ஏனோ வானாகி வேலாகி பார்த்தாய்
சீமைக்காரியே ஆலங்கட்டியே
நீதான் உள்ளூரில் வீழ்ந்திடும்
மழையா பனியா
What a gaze, oh my goodness!
What a gesture, oh my goodness!
What an attire, oh my goodness!
