மாணிக்க தேருக்கு மஞ்சம் போடுங்கள்
காணிக்கையாய் என்னை கட்டி கொள்ளுங்கள்
ஆனிப் பொன்னூஞ்சலில் அள்ளிக் கொள்ளுங்கள்
ஆனந்தம் பாடட்டும் காதல் புஷ்பங்கள்
ஓஹோ.......ஹோ......ஹோ..........
Prepare a bed for the ruby chariot
Embrace me, taking me as an offering
Gather me up on a pure golden swing
Let the flowers of love sing in joy
Ohho... ho... ho...

மேகத்தை பிடித்து மெத்தை விரித்து
மின்னலை இடையில் பின்னி இழுத்து
மேகத்தை பிடித்து மெத்தை விரித்து
மின்னலை இடையில் பின்னி இழுத்து
Catch the cloud and spread it as a mattress
Braid the lightning around the waist and pull
Catch the cloud and spread it as a mattress
Braid the lightning around the waist and pull
இனிக்க இனிக்க எடுத்து சுவைத்து
சாகசப் பூ இன்று சத்தம் இடட்டும்
தாமரை பொன்வண்டு முத்தம் இடட்டும்
ஓஹோ.......ஹோ......ஹோ...........
Take it and relish it as it grows sweeter and sweeter
Let the adventurous flower make sound today
Let the lotus's golden beetle place a kiss
Ohho... ho... ho...

வாலிபம் திரும்பி வந்து விட்டதோ
நூலிடை நினைவை தந்து விட்டதோ
காதலி உறவை கண்டு விட்டதோ
கண்களும் போதை கொண்டு விட்டதோ
Has youth returned back once again?
Has the thread-like slender waist brought back memories?
Has the beloved discovered the deep bond of love?
Have the eyes become filled with intoxication?
சிரிக்க சிரிக்க சிவக்க சிவக்க
கேள்விகள் ஆயிரம் கேட்டுக் கொள்ளுங்கள்
கேட்டதை என்னிடம் வாங்கி கொள்ளுங்கள்
ஓஹோ.......ஹோ......ஹோ...........
As laughter blooms and cheeks turn red with blushes
Ask a thousand questions if you wish
Receive from me whatever you have asked for
Ohho... ho... ho...
