தங்ககிளியே தங்ககிளியே
ஆசை கோர்த்து பூ
நெஞ்சுக்குளியே
வந்து கிழிச்சு
சோகம் தீர்த்து போ போ
Oh golden parrot, golden parrot,
Weave your desires into a garland and bloom,
Come and nestle deep within my heart,
Relieve my sorrow and bloom, bloom.
பஞ்சாகி பறக்குது மனசு
உன்ன பாத்தாலே மறக்குது வயசு
தேனாக ஒலிக்குது கொலுசு
உன் கண்ணால என் நெஞ்ச அலசு
My heart floats light like flying cotton,
Just looking at you makes me forget my age,
Your anklet tinkles sweetly like honey,
Cleanse my heart with a look from your eyes.
நீ பொன்மாங்கனி
ஓர் வெண்பாற்பணி
இந்த பூலோகம் பார்க்காத
என் ரம்ப நீ
You are a golden mango fruit,
You are the pure white dewdrop of this town,
Unseen by this whole world,
You are my celestial nymph Rambha.
தங்ககிளியே தங்ககிளியே
ஆசை கோர்த்து பூ

Weave your desires into a garland and bloom, bloom,
Come and nestle deep within my heart,
Relieve my sorrow and bloom,
Bloom, bloom, bloom.

Shall I hold your finger?
Shall I live in your eyes?
The time reserved for you,
Reading your thoughts,
Shall I fulfill it for you?
Just existing for you is more than enough.
உன் வெரல பிடிக்கவா
விழியில வசிக்கவா
உனக்கெனா இருக்குற நேரம்
நெனப்ப படிச்சி அத
நெறச்சி கொடுக்கவா
உனக்கென இருப்பதே போதும்
Oh beauty carved out of red sandalwood!
I must keep expressing my love endlessly,
So that the entire world marvels at it,
We must live an endless life together.
