செந்தாமரை அடி செந்தாமரை
சிலு சிலு பார்வையில் சில்லாக்குற
செந்தாமரை அடி செந்தாமரை
சிரிப்பிலும் ஏன் என்ன மல்லாத்துற
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
You make me chill with your cool gaze
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
Why do you knock me flat even with your smile?
அர குறையா நீ பேசும் பேச்சில்
நட உட மாற பறந்தேன்டி
புதையல பார்த்த ஏழை போல
வியப்புல கீழ விழுந்தேண்டி
பாவம் பாத்தா
காதல் பாட்டா கெளம்புதடி
With the broken words you speak
My stride and pace changed as I flew away
Like a poor man who found a hidden treasure
I fell down in sheer wonder
Taking pity on my state
A song of love arises
செந்தாமரை அடி செந்தாமரை
சிலு சிலு பார்வையில் சில்லாக்குற
செந்தாமரை அடி செந்தாமரை
சிரிப்பிலும் ஏன் என்ன மல்லாத்துற
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
You make me chill with your cool gaze
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
Why do you knock me flat even with your smile?
அர குறையா நீ பேசும் பேச்சில்
நட உட மாற பறந்தேன்டி
புதையல பார்த்த ஏழை போல
வியப்புல கீழ விழுந்தேண்டி
பாவம் பாத்தா
காதல் பாட்டா கெளம்புதடி
With the broken words you speak
My stride and pace changed as I flew away
Like a poor man who found a hidden treasure
I fell down in sheer wonder
Taking pity on my state
A song of love arises
நெருங்கி நீ இருந்தாலே போதும்
நிலவுக்கே நெடியேறும் ஏறும்
நெஞ்சுல எங்கேயோ ஒரு ஊத்து
சட்டுன்னு பொங்குதே உன பாத்து
Just having you close to me is enough
Even the moon's stature would rise higher
Somewhere deep inside my heart, a natural spring
Suddenly gushes forth seeing you
புழுதித் தெரு மேல
குதிச்ச தவள கூட
மாறுதே புது ரோசா
வளவி கொலுசா ஓச
மனசில் கரகம் ஆட
ஆகுறேன் அர லூசா
Upon the dusty street
Even a leaping frog
Transforms into a fresh rose
Is it the sound of bangles and anklets?
As a folk dance sways in my heart
I am turning half crazy
கண்ணாடி ஊஞ்சலு காதலே
வந்தே நீ ஆடனும் மேல மேல
Love is like a glass swing
You must come and swing higher and higher
செந்தாமரை அடி செந்தாமரை
சிலு சிலு பார்வையில் சில்லாக்குற
செந்தாமரை அடி செந்தாமரை
சிரிப்பிலும் ஏன் என்ன மல்லாத்துற
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
You make me chill with your cool gaze
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
Why do you knock me flat even with your smile?
வெளியில நானும் வேசம் போட
மனசையும் நீ தான் பாம் பாத்த
ரகசிய சேதி நாளும் பேச
ஓதுங்கியும் வாரேன் பசி ஆத்த
மூள வீங்க மூனே வார்த்த வரம்கொடுத்த
While I wear a guise to the outside world
You alone softened and understood my heart
To speak secret messages daily
I come stepping aside to satisfy this hunger
My mind swells with just three words
That bestowed a grand boon upon me
செந்தாமரை அடி செந்தாமரை
சிலு சிலு பார்வையில் சில்லாகுற
செந்தாமரை அடி செந்தாமரை
சிரிப்பிலும் ஏன் என்ன மல்லாத்துற
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
You make me chill with your cool gaze
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
Why do you knock me flat even with your smile?
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
Silu silu paarvaiyil silaakurae
You make me chill with your cool gaze
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
Siripilum yen enna mallaathurae
Why do you knock me flat even with your smile?
Ara koraya nee pesum pechil
With the broken words you speak
Nada oda maara paranthendi
My stride and pace changed as I flew away
Podhaiyala paatha ezha pola
Like a poor man who found a hidden treasure
Viyapula keezha viluthendi
I fell down in sheer wonder
Paavam paatha
Taking pity on my state
Kadhal paata kelambuthadi
A song of love arises
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
Silu silu paarvaiyil silaakurae
You make me chill with your cool gaze
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus

A song of love arises
Nerungi nee irundhalae podhum
Just having you close to me is enough
Nelavukae nediyerum yerum
Even the moon's stature would rise higher
Nenjula engayo oru oothu
Somewhere deep inside my heart, a natural spring
Sattunu ponguthae ona paathu
Suddenly gushes forth seeing you
Puzhudhi theruvu mela
Upon the dusty street
Kudhicha thavala kooda
Even a leaping frog
Maarudhaey pudhu roosa
Transforms into a fresh rose
Valvi kolusu oosaa
Is it the sound of bangles and anklets?
Manasil karagam aada
As a folk dance sways in my heart
Aaguren ara loosa
I am turning half crazy
Kannadi oonjalu kaadhalae
Love is like a glass swing
Vandhae nee aadanum mela mela
You must come and swing higher and higher

Manasaiyum nee than padham paatha
You alone softened and understood my heart
Ragasiya seathi naalum pesa
To speak secret messages daily
Odhingiyum vaaren pasi aatha
I come stepping aside to satisfy this hunger
Moola veenga moonae vaartha
My mind swells with just three words
Varam kodutha
That bestowed a grand boon upon me
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
Red lotus, oh girl, red lotus
Silu silu paarvaiyil silaakurae
You make me chill with your cool gaze
Senthaamarai adi senthaamarai
