The affection will not fade, my beloved
கண்ணேன்னு சொல்ல வேண்டாம்
கிளியேன்னு கிள்ள வேண்டாம்
கண்ணாலே கொஞ்சம் பொறு போதும்

நீ போடும் கோட்டுக்குள்ளே
நீங்காம இந்த பொண்ணு வாழும்

நான் வாங்கும் மூச்சிக்காத்து
உன்னாலதான் உன்னாலதான்
ஓயாம உள்ளஞ்சொல்லும்
உன் பேரை தான் உன் பேரை தான்
சொந்தம் பந்தம் நீ.....
No need to call me your eyes
No need to pinch me calling me a parrot
Just a glance with your eyes is enough
Inside the house where you live
Within the boundaries you set
This girl will live without leaving
சொந்தம் வந்தது வந்தது
இந்த சுகமே மச்சான் தந்தது
சொர்க்கம் வந்தது வந்தது
அதை சொன்னால் என் மனம் துள்ளுது
You alone, I
As my very life
Thought of you, my beloved
My love is true, yes
The breath of air I take in
Is only because of you, only because of you
Ceaselessly my inner soul speaks
Your name alone, your name alone
You are my relation and bond
பூப்போல தேகம் தொட்டு
சோப்பாலே தேச்சி விட்டு
நீராட்ட நீயும் ஒரு சேய் தான்
வாய்யான்னு உன்னை கொஞ்சி
வாயார உன்ன சொல்லி
சோரூட்ட நானும் ஒரு தாய் தான்
A relationship has arrived
Has arrived
This pleasure, my beloved
Has given
Heaven has arrived, has arrived
If I say that
My heart leaps with joy
இரவா பகலா
இருப்பேன் துணையா
கண்ணீர் வடிஞ்சா
தடுப்பேன் அணையா
போகாது உன்னை விட்டு
என்னாசை தான் என்னாளும்தான்
போனாலும் மண்ணை விட்டு
பூவோடு தான் பொட்டோடுதான்
வாழ்வோம் மாமா நாம்....
Touching your flower-like body
Washing you with soap
To bathe you, you
Are like a child
Coaxing you affectionately to come
Speaking of you wholeheartedly
To feed you food, I am
Like a mother
சொந்தம் வந்தது வந்தது
இந்த சுகமே மச்சான் தந்தது
சொர்க்கம் வந்தது வந்தது
அதை சொன்னால் என் மனம் துள்ளுது
Be it night or day
I will remain as your companion
If tears flow down
I will block them like a dam
It will not leave you
My desire alone
Forever and ever
Even if leaving this earth
With flower and vermilion intact
We shall live, my beloved
மாசங்கள் போனாலும்
வருசங்கள் ஆனாலும்
பாசங்கள் போகாது மாமா
