தபமும் பலித்திட்ட சுபவேளை
மனந்தளராதே மின்னும் தாரா
தபமும் பலித்திட்ட சுபவேளை
மனந்தளராதே மின்னும் தாரா
எதிரினில் தோன்றவும் மந்திரமும் கூறி
எனை ஏய்க்காதே தவராணி...
தபமும் பலித்திட்ட சுபவேளை
மனந்தளராதே மின்னும் தாரா
This auspicious time when my penance has borne fruit,
Oh shining Thara, who makes my heart weary with longing!

Oh shining Thara, who makes my heart weary with longing!
Reciting the incantation to appear right in front of me,
Do not deceive me, oh flawless woman!
This auspicious time when my penance has borne fruit,
Oh shining Thara, who makes my heart weary with longing!
எழில் முக மதிபோல் காண்பதை வீணாய்
மேகத் துகிலிடும் சாகசம் வேண்டாம்
எழில் முக மதிபோல் காண்பதை வீணாய்
மேகத் துகிலிடும் சாகசம் வேண்டாம்
வருந்தி வருந்தி மகிழ்ந்து அழைத்தே
எதுக்கின்னும் தடைக் கண்ணே....
Showing your face that is like a beautiful moon in vain,
Do not play tricks behind the cloud-veil!
Showing your face that is like a beautiful moon in vain,
Do not play tricks behind the cloud-veil!
Having longed repeatedly and called out joyfully,
Why is there still an obstacle, my precious one?
தபமும் பலித்திட்ட சுபவேளை
மனந்தளராதே மின்னும் தாரா
This auspicious time when my penance has borne fruit,
Oh shining Thara, who makes my heart weary with longing!
உன் விழியோடே மருவும் கணையோடு
கலந்துன்னை மகிழ்வோடு சுவைக்க எண்ணுது
உன் விழியோடே மருவும் கணையோடு
கலந்துன்னை மகிழ்வோடு சுவைக்க எண்ணுது
கோரிக்கை தீர தருணம் இதுதானே
தாரா இப்படி செய்யாதே....
Along with your eyes and the arrow of affection,
My mind longs to unite with you and relish joyfully.
