Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Silu silu paarvaiyil silaakurae
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Siripilum yen enna mallaathurae
Ara koraya nee pesum pechil
Nada oda maara paranthendi
Podhaiyala paatha ezha pola
Viyapula keezha viluthendi
Paavam paatha
Kadhal paata kelambuthadi
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Silu silu paarvaiyil silaakurae
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Siripilum yen enna mallaathurae
Ara koraya nee pesum pechil
Nada oda maara paranthendi
Podhaiyala paatha ezha pola
Viyapula keezha viluthendi
Paavam paatha
Kadhal paata kelambuthadi
Nerungi nee irundhalae podhum
Nelavukae nediyerum yerum
Nenjula engayo oru oothu
Sattunu ponguthae ona paathu
Puzhudhi theruvu mela
Kudhicha thavala kooda
Maarudhaey pudhu roosa
Valvi kolusu oosaa
Manasil karagam aada
Aaguren ara loosa
Kannadi oonjalu kaadhalae
Vandhae nee aadanum mela mela
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Silu silu paarvaiyil silaakurae
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Siripilum yen enna mallaathurae
Veliyila nanum vesham poda
Manasaiyum nee than padham paatha
Ragasiya seathi naalum pesa
Odhingiyum vaaren pasi aatha
Moola veenga moonae vaartha
Varam kodutha
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Silu silu paarvaiyil silaakurae
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Siripilum yen enna mallaathurae
Oh red lotus, hey sweet red lotus,
You send chills through me with your cool gaze!
Oh red lotus, hey sweet red lotus,
Why do you knock me flat on my back with your smile?
With the shy, half-spoken words you say,
My walk turned into a run, and I took flight!
Like a poor man who stumbled upon a treasure,
I am falling down in sheer wonder!
Seeing my helpless state,
Love takes off like a rush inside me, girl!
Oh red lotus, hey sweet red lotus,
You send chills through me with your cool gaze!
Oh red lotus, hey sweet red lotus,
Why do you knock me flat on my back with your smile?
With the shy, half-spoken words you say,
My walk turned into a run, and I took flight!
Like a poor man who stumbled upon a treasure,
I am falling down in sheer wonder!
Seeing my helpless state,
Love takes off like a rush inside me, girl!
Just having you close to me is enough,
Even the moon would get dizzy with intoxication!
Somewhere deep inside my heart, a secret spring
Suddenly gushes up the moment I see you!
On this dusty street,
Even a leaping frog
Turns into a fresh blooming rose!
To the ringing chime of your bangles and anklets,
With a Karagam (balancing pot dance) swaying in my heart,
I am slowly going half-crazy!
Love is a delicate swing made of glass,
You must come and swing on it, higher and higher!
Oh red lotus, hey sweet red lotus,
You send chills through me with your cool gaze!
Oh red lotus, hey sweet red lotus,
Why do you knock me flat on my back with your smile?
Even as I put on a tough act to the outside world,
You are the only one who touched and softened my heart.
To share secret whispers day after day,
I slip away quietly to satisfy this hunger of love.
With just three little words that make my head spin,
You gave me the greatest blessing!
Oh red lotus, hey sweet red lotus,
You send chills through me with your cool gaze!
Oh red lotus, hey sweet red lotus,
Why do you knock me flat on my back with your smile?
