{ தங்கமகன்
இன்று சிங்க நடை
போட்டு அருகில்
அருகில் வந்தான்
இரண்டு புறம் பற்றி
எரியும் மெழுகாக
மங்கை உருகி
நின்றாள் } (2)
Today, the golden son
Walking with a majestic lion-like stride
Came closer and closer
Like a candle burning
From both ends at once
The young woman stood melting
கட்டும் ஆடை
என் காதலன் கண்டதும்
நழுவியதே வெட்கத்
தாழ்ப்பாள் அது வேந்தனை
கண்டதும் விலகியதே
Today, the golden son
Walking with a majestic lion-like stride
Came closer and closer
Like a candle burning
ரத்தத் தாமரை
முத்தம் கேட்குது வா
என் வாழ்வே வா

The clothes worn slipped away

இன்று சிங்க நடை
போட்டு அருகில்
அருகில் வந்தான்
இரண்டு புறம் பற்றி
எரியும் மெழுகாக
மங்கை உருகி
நின்றாள்
Upon seeing my lover
The latch of shyness unbolted
Upon seeing the king of my heart
The red lotus lips
Are asking for a kiss
Come, my life, come
..............................
Today, the golden son
Walking with a majestic lion-like stride
சின்னக்
கலைவாணி நீ
வண்ண சிலைமேனி
அது மஞ்சம் தனி மாறம்
தலை வைக்கும் இன்பத்
தலகாணி
Came closer and closer
Like a candle burning
From both ends at once
The young woman stood melting
ஆசைத்
தலைவன் நீ நான்
அடிமை மகராணி
மங்கை இவள் அங்கம்
எங்கும் பூச நீதான்
மருதாணி
Aaaaahhh…aaaaa….

Oh little goddess of arts
Your body is like a colorful statue
பிறக்காத
பூக்கள் வெடித்தாக
வேண்டும்
தென்பாண்டி
தென்றல் திறந்தாக
வேண்டும்
When it rests on the bed
It becomes a blissful pillow to lay one's head
You are the beloved master
I am a queen who acts as a servant
என்ன சம்மதமா
இன்னும் தாமதமா
To coat all over this young woman's body
You alone are the henna

Flowers yet unborn
Must bloom forth into existence
Female: The breeze from the southern region
Must blow freely and open up
Do I have your consent?
Female: Is there still delay?

Today, the golden son
Walking with a majestic lion-like stride
தூக்கம் வந்தாலே
மனம் தலையணை தேடாது
தானே வந்து காதல் கொல்லும்
உள்ளம் ஜாதகம் பார்க்காது
Came closer and closer
Like a candle burning
From both ends at once
The young woman stood melting
மேகம் மழை
தந்தால் துளி மேலே
போகாது பெண்ணின்
மனம் ஆணில் விழ
வேண்டும் விதிதான்
மாறாது
Oooooohh….ooooohooo….
Ohooooo…ooooo…..hooo…
When sleep arrives naturally
The mind doesn't search for a pillow
என் பேரின்
பின்னே நீ சேர
வேண்டும்
கடல் கொண்ட
கங்கை நிறம் மாற
வேண்டும்
A heart that falls in love on its own
Does not consult a horoscope
Once the cloud gives rain
The water drops do not travel back up
என்னை
மாற்றி விடு
இதழ்
ஊற்றி கொடு
A woman's heart must merge into a man's
This destiny will never change
தங்கமகன்

After my name
Your name must be joined
Male: Like the Ganges joining the ocean
The color must blend and change
Transform me completely
Male: Press your lips and bestow a kiss
