என் சீவனுக்கே சீவன் கொடுத்தாலே
அம்மாளு ராசாத்தி
கரி சோறும் ஆக்கி போட்டு நல்ல நாளில்
கண்ணாலம் கட்டலான்டி
பொட்டு கடலை சீனி கலந்தது போலத்தானே
சோடியா சேர்ந்தோம்டி
உன் திசை பார்த்தே இனி எந்நாளும்
பொழுத களிப்பேன்டி
She gave life to my very soul
Ammaalu, my princess
Cooking meat rice and serving it on a good day
Let us get married
Just like roasted gram mixed with sugar
We came together as a pair
Looking towards your direction forever from now
I will pass my days
ஓஒ......பொட்ட வெயில் காஞ்சாலும்
அவ கிட்ட இருந்தாலே
வேப்பம்மர நிழல் போல
சில்லுபா உணர்வேனே
Even if the harsh sun scorches
If I am near her
Like the shade of a neem tree
I will feel cool
அந்தி வான தூத்தல போல்
அடுக்கு மல்லி சிரிப்பாலே
அமுதகிளி அருகாமையே
எனக்கு தினம் அருமருந்தே
Like a drizzle in the evening sky
She laughs like layered jasmine flowers
The sweet parrot-like presence
Is a rare daily medicine for me
கைய நான் காட்டுனா
பஸ்ஸும் கூட நிக்காதே
சாட நீ காட்டியே எனக்காக வந்தாயே
கண்ணுக்குள்ள நான் உன்னை தாங்கனும்
கற்பனையில் ரயில் ஒன்னு ஓடுது
Even if I wave my hand
Even the bus does not stop
But you gestured softly and came for me
I want to cherish you inside my eyes
A train runs in my imagination
என் சீவனுக்கே சீவன் கொடுத்தாலே
அம்மாளு ராசாத்தி
கரி சோறும் ஆக்கி போட்டு நல்ல நாளில்
கண்ணாலம் கட்டலான்டி
பொட்டு கடலை சீனி கலந்தது போலத்தானே
சோடியா சேர்ந்தோம்டி
உன் திசை பார்த்தே இனி எந்நாளும்
பொழுத களிப்பேன்டி
She gave life to my very soul
Ammaalu, my princess
Cooking meat rice and serving it on a good day
Let us get married
Just like roasted gram mixed with sugar
We came together as a pair
Looking towards your direction forever from now
I will pass my days
........................
...
நம் சீவன் ரெண்டு
சேர்ந்ததா நெனச்சே
மல்லிப்பூ கட்டுனேன்டா
உன் பேர எனக்குள் கோர்ப்பதில்தானே
எத்தனை சந்தோசாம்டா
Thinking that both our souls
Have united together
I strung jasmine flowers
In weaving your name inside me
How much happiness there is
சிட்டு குருவி உடம்ப
சிலிர்பத போலத்தானே
மனசும் துடிக்குதடா
உன்னை நெனைக்கும் போது எனக்கு உள்ளூர
ஊத்து ஒன்னும் எடுக்குதடா.....ஆ....
Just like a little sparrow's body
Shivers with excitement
My heart throbs too
When I think of you, deep inside me
A spring begins to gush forth
En seevanukae seevan koduthaalae
She gave life to my very soul
Ammaalu raasathi
Ammaalu, my princess
Kari sorum aakki pottu nalla naalil
Cooking meat rice and serving it on a good day

Un dhisa paarthae ini ennaalum
Looking towards your direction forever from now
Pozhutha kazhipen di
I will pass my days
Potta veyil kaanjaalum
Even if the harsh sun scorches
Ava kitta irunthaalae
If I am near her

Like the shade of a neem tree
Sillupa unarvenae
I will feel cool
Andhi vaana thoothala pol
Like a drizzle in the evening sky
Adukku malli sirippaalae
She laughs like layered jasmine flowers
Amudhakili arugamaiyae

Bus-um kooda nikkadhae
Even the bus does not stop
Sada nee kaatiyae enakkaaga vandhaayae

Naam seevan rendum
Thinking that both our souls
Serndhadha nenachae
Have united together

Unnai nenaikkum bothu enakku ulloora
When I think of you, deep inside me
Oothu onnu edukkuthada
A spring begins to gush forth
