Thanni kodam kakkathilae
Thaangi vandhaa akka maga
Hoi thanni kodam kakkathilae
Thaangi vandhaa akka maga
Kannu rendum vekkathilae
Suthudhamma nikkamalae
Poopola kaal vechaalae
Indha boomi ellaam
Poopodum solai thaanalae
Kanni ennai sorgathilae
Katti vechaan athai magan
Kanni vecha kattazhaga
Thottaanamma othaiyilae
Sarugaagi kaayum munnalae
Nerukkathilae nizhalaagi
Kooda vandhaanae
Nee malaiyoora thalaivaazha kannuthaan
Un madi mela vizha venum mella thaan
Female :Naan malaraadha malliga mottuthaan
Nalla manam veesum maaman kaipattuthaan
Hoi aagaasa panthalilae aavaarampoo methaiyittu
Nogaama naan anaikka vendum unai mutham ittu
Female :Aagaasa panthalilae aavaarampoo methaiyittu
Nogaama naan anaikka vendum unai mutham ittu

With a water pot resting on her hip,
my sweet cousin came walking by.
Hey, with a water pot resting on her hip,
my sweet cousin came walking by.
Out of sheer shyness, both her eyes
keep darting around without stopping!
As she stepped as softly as a flower,
this entire earth
turned into a blooming garden!
Lifting this maiden into paradise,
my aunt's son has captured my heart.
Like a hunter setting his snare, that handsome man
touched me when I was all alone!
Before I could wither and dry like a fallen leaf,
he drew close like a protective shadow
and walked alongside me.
You are a tender plantain shoot from the hills,
and I just want to gently fall onto your lap.
Female: I am still an unopened jasmine bud,
that will bloom with sweet fragrance only at my man's touch.
Hey, under the canopy of the sky, on a bed of yellow aavaram flowers,
I want to kiss you and hold you tenderly, without hurting you.
Female: Under the canopy of the sky, on a bed of yellow aavaram flowers,
I want to kiss you and hold you tenderly, without hurting you.
Male: I long to become one with you,
and you must live in sweet intoxication with me.
Lifting this maiden into paradise,
my aunt's son has captured my heart.
Like a hunter setting his snare, that handsome man
touched me when I was all alone!
Before I could wither and dry like a fallen leaf,
he drew close like a protective shadow
and walked alongside me.
...
Oh my goodness, my love, you are in such a rush!
My body is swaying in the wind just like a kite!
Male: Just when you are drooping like a tender sprout,
I must flow to you like a fresh spring of water!
Draped in a Kandangi saree, your arms filled with bangles,
with round jasmine flowers tucked into your hair bun...
Male: Draped in a Kandangi saree, your arms filled with bangles,
with round jasmine flowers tucked into your hair bun...
Female: I long to become one with you,
and you must live in sweet intoxication with me.
Hey, with a water pot resting on her hip,
my sweet cousin came walking by.
Out of sheer shyness, both her eyes
keep darting around without stopping!
As she stepped as softly as a flower,
this entire earth
turned into a blooming garden!
Lifting this maiden into paradise,
my aunt's son has captured my heart.
Male: Thananaana...
Female: Like a hunter setting his snare, that handsome man
touched me when I was all alone!
Male: Thananaana...
Female: Before I could wither and dry like a fallen leaf,
he drew close like a protective shadow
and walked alongside me.
