This is the Thamirabarani river,
A temple chariot walking on the land.
This is the Thamirabarani river,
A temple chariot walking on the land.
A flower wafting fragrance, an ache brought by the north wind;
Male: A flower wafting fragrance, an ache brought by the north wind;
Aha, wrestling and grabbing me close,
The Thamirabarani river came to take me along.
Male: Mmmm
Female: This is a temple chariot walking on the land.
Male: Mmm, the Thamirabarani river,
Female: Aha, this is a temple chariot walking on the land.

{When eyes speak to eyes,
The breeze of love blows from all directions;
When heart unites with heart,
The nectar of passion gushes forth} (2)
The golden, unblemished body gets wounded,
Drenching dripping wet.
Male: Without parting, becoming one with each other,
Bound together, it struggles in passion.
Will it not be quenched today itself?
There is only one gateway... for joys to arrive.
This is the Thamirabarani river,
A temple chariot walking on the land.
Aaa..aa the Thamirabarani river,
This is a temple chariot walking on the land.
...................
{It seethes and overflows,
The brand new flower garden!
It searches for a relationship,
The heart that burned in love} (2)
A stroke of lightning sparks within sly eyes,
And heat slowly rises.
Female: Even if the leaping feet stop, they totter,
And dance intertwined.
Male: The day to indulge in blissful pleasure and sing music
Will come together.
The Thamirabarani river,
This is a temple chariot walking on the land.
This is the Thamirabarani river,
A temple chariot walking on the land.
{A flower wafting fragrance,
Male: An ache brought by the north wind} (2)
Aha, wrestling and grabbing me close,
The Thamirabarani river came to take me along.
Male: Mmmm
Female: This is a temple chariot walking on the land.
Male: Aaa, the Thamirabarani river,
This is a temple chariot walking on the land.
Female: Aha, the Thamirabarani river,
This is a temple chariot walking on the land.
