As bangles on my wrists bend and slip down,
As my delicate waist grows slender with yearning,
O King who entrances my heart!
மை விழி மயங்கி மயங்கி விட

The auspicious month of Thai will bring turmeric and wedding garlands,
Your fingers will place the sacred vermilion,
The body and soul will merge into one,
What is this intoxicating feeling in my heart?
தை வரும் மஞ்சளும் மாலையும் வரும்
கை விரல் மங்கல குங்குமம் தரும்
மெய் உடல் உயிரில் கலந்து விடும்
மனதில் மயக்கம் என்னவோ
My true home is only with you, my lord,
Without you, I am merely an empty shell, my lord.
Male: There is no distance left between us,
When we unite, oho ho!
உன்னோடுதானே என் வீடய்யா

This moon-like glowing face,
Your hands should hold and caress it,
From now on, you are my ultimate refuge,
There are no obstacles remaining here.
வெண்மதி வதனம் வதனம் இதை

Ooo... you are my imperishable treasure, my dear,
Is there any other joy that compares to this, my dear?
Female: There will never be a moment of sorrow,
As long as you are with me, aaha ahaa!
ஓஒ......அழியாத செல்வம் நீதானம்மா
இது போல இன்பம் வேறேதம்மா
ஒரு பொழுதும் துயர் இல்லையே
நீ இருந்தால் ஆஹா அஹா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This classic romantic duet from 'Dharma Chakkaram' captures the innocent, deep affection between two lovers set against a lush rural backdrop. The heroine addresses her beloved metaphorically as a hovering dragonfly in a cornfield, questioning whether she can trust him completely and surrender to his love. The song evolves into a poetic celebration of marital unity, referencing traditional Tamil cultural symbols like the month of Thai, turmeric, and kungumam, while longing for eternal togetherness across lifetimes.
