In the beautifully decorated
golden swing,
in that very golden swing...
Will you sing,
O my King?
A Parani (war epic),
a Kalambagam, or an Ula (procession poem)?
At least one of them?
Do you at least know
proper poetic verse
and its grammar?
Where is the land where paddy once swayed?
Where is the royal court where wisdom echoed?
Where is the battlefield where bows were wielded?
Where are the stone sculptures brought to life?
O motherland that devoured its own mother!
O motherland that devoured its own mother!
The majestic Lord approaches,
radiant like the crest jewel of the moon.
Let us gather in the halls of royal glory!
Let us gather in the halls of royal glory...

In search of the open fields
where fish once leaped and played,
my eyes have withered
and dried away.
In search of the sweet fragrance
of Cauvery's blooming flowers,
my nostrils have burned
and lost their breath.
In search of the chisel's ringing sound
that shaped living stone into statues,
my ears have twisted
and withered away.
Yearning for the honeyed taste
of rich rice cooked with meat,
my tongue has shriveled
and turned completely dry.
The proud people of the Cholas,
who bore the tiger on their flag—
must they now gnaw on rat meat?
Must we waste away our lives,
turning into lifeless plants
that survive only on the air?
Over a desolate land
filled with human skulls,
is this how a king should rule?
Is this how a king should rule?

My friend, how can I bear this longing?
How shall I describe his endless grandeur?
[Male] Love and romance overflow,
sovereign dignity shines all around.
Fierce majesty and gentle grace unite,
sending shivers of delight through the heart.
Your passionate love is supreme bliss,
surrendering to you is true royalty.
[Female] Is this sheer beauty, or a magical illusion?
Is your loving embrace like sweet nectar?
My playful charm rivals celestial dancers,
my youthful grace is steeped in sweetness.
[Male] As I embrace the company of my beloved,
why should any hesitation hold us back?
When the scent of jasmine fills the gentle air,
every touch stirs a sweet shiver within.
[Male] The deep pangs of longing melt away,
as arrows of blossom shower upon us.
Locked in the embrace of strong arms,
we surrender ourselves completely.
[Female] O daring sovereign of passion,
O master of all my thoughts,
let us be held captive in chains of flowers!
Let this ecstasy only grow deeper,
for your lips and your gentle words
are so sweet to me.
Your arched brows and fragrant charm,
your graceful form and fiery passion,
and your matchless masculine pride
are a source of great power!
O graceful, dancing peacock,
O enchanting beauty!
Your passionate love is supreme bliss,
surrendering to you is true royalty.
