Sembaruthi poovukku
Saelaiyonnu sellammaa
Naanirukken kattikko
Naanam enna sollammaa
Poongaathu neruppaachu
Adhu ullukkullae kodhippaachu
Kuthaala kuyilae thunai nee thaanammaa
Thunai nee thaanammaa
Sembaruthi poovukku
Saelaiyonnu thaariyaa
Kai pudichu azhagaa
Katti vida vaariyaa
Vatta vatta nilaavukku pottu vachu
Vanji vanji vandhaa nenja thottu vachu
Othukkittaa thappu enna
Konjam vetti vetti sittu pogaiyilae
Vacha vacha kanna ooru vaangalaiyae
Vasiyam pannudhu um manasu
Mella valachu podudhu un sirippu
Um pera ezhudhi
Oru nooru tharam padichen
Um pera ezhudhi
Oru nooru tharam padichen
Paai virikkum pozhudhu un nenappu varudhu
Ennannu solluven raasaa
Sembaruthi poovukku
Saelaiyonnu sellammaa
Naanirukken kattikko
Naanam enna sollammaa
Poongaathu neruppaachu
Adhu ullukkullae kodhippaachu
Kuthaala kuyilae thunai nee thaanaiyaa
Thunai nee thaanaiyaa
Sembaruthi poovukku
Saelaiyonnu thaariyaa
Kai pudichu azhagaa
Katti vida vaariyaa
Sinna patti thotti engum un peraiyaa
Nethi pottu onnu vachu nee vaariyaa
Pacha kili vachu vidu
Villu villu vandi katti vandhaa enna
Indha ponna kattikkittu ponaa enna
Mayakkum kannilae thandhi kodu
Avan manasu pola nee mundhi kodu
Sonnaalae manakkum
Indha nenjukkullae inikkum

Maala kooda irukku
Mangala vaathiyam venum
Sembaruthi poovukku

Kai pudichu azhagaa
Katti vida vaariyaa

For this hibiscus flower,
Here is a saree, my dear girl.
I am right here, wrap it around you;
Tell me, why this shyness?
The gentle breeze has turned into fire,
And it is boiling deep inside.
O cuckoo of Courtallam, you are my only companion,
You are my only companion.
For this hibiscus flower,
Will you give me a saree?
Holding my hands so tenderly,
Will you come drape it around me?
Wearing a dot on her face like the round moon,
This slender beauty arrived, touching my heart.
What is wrong if you accept my love?
As this little bird struts past, swaying with pride,
The whole town cannot take their eyes off her!
Your heart is casting a spell on me,
And your smile is slowly captivating me.
I wrote your name,
And read it a hundred times.
I wrote your name,
And read it a hundred times.
Whenever I spread my mat to sleep, your thoughts come to me,
How can I even explain this, my king?
For this hibiscus flower,
Here is a saree, my dear girl.
I am right here, wrap it around you;
Tell me, why this shyness?
The gentle breeze has turned into fire,
And it is boiling deep inside.
O cuckoo of Courtallam, you are my only companion,
You are my only companion.
For this hibiscus flower,
Will you give me a saree?
Holding my hands so tenderly,
Will you come drape it around me?
Every little village echoes with your name, my man!
Will you wear a mark on your forehead and come to me?
Place it on me, my green parrot!
Why don't you ride in on an arched cart,
And take this golden girl as your bride?
Send a message with your enchanting eyes,
And give your love to him just as his heart desires.
Just speaking of it feels so fragrant,
It fills this heart with sweetness.
Just speaking of it feels so fragrant,
It fills this heart with sweetness.
The sacred yellow wedding thread is ready,
Even the flower garlands are ready,
Now we only need the joyous wedding music to play.
For this hibiscus flower,
Will you give me a saree?
Holding my hands so tenderly,
Will you come drape it around me?
The gentle breeze has turned into fire,
And it is boiling deep inside.
O cuckoo of Courtallam, you are my only companion,
You are my only companion.
For this hibiscus flower,
Will you give me a saree?
Holding my hands so tenderly,
Will you come drape it around me?
