ஆஅ....ஆஅ....ஆ.....
தரைமேல் ஆடும் மழை மேகம்
தாளாமல் வாடும் பூப்போல் தேகம்
தனிமை ராகம் படிக்கிறது
தொட்டால் போதும் உன்னை விடாது.....
Aaa….aa….aa…
A rain cloud dancing on the ground,
A body like a flower wilting uncontrollably,
Singing a melody of solitude,
A mere touch is enough... it won't let you go.
மாமா மாமா ஏன் பாத்தே
அட மாமா மாமா ஏன் பாத்தே
Uncle, uncle, why did you look?
Hey uncle, uncle, why did you look?
மடியில் சொர்க்கத்தை நான் பார்த்தேன்
I saw heaven in your lap.
பாத்தத வெளியே சொல்லாதே
Don't tell outside what you saw,
பார்வையினால் என்னைக் கொல்லாதே
Don't kill me with your glance.
மச்சான் மச்சான் ஏன் பாத்தே
Dear cousin, dear cousin, why did you look?
ஆணா பெண்ணான்னு நான் பாத்தேன்
I looked to see if you were male or female.
பெண்ணாக என்ன படைச்சானே
He created me as a woman,
கண்ணோடு விஷத்த கலந்தானே
And mixed poison with my eyes.

பொல்லாத கண்ணுக்கு விஷமாகும்
பொன்னான நெஞ்சுக்கு விருந்தாகும்
பொல்லாத கண்ணுக்கு விஷமாகும்
பொன்னான நெஞ்சுக்கு விருந்தாகும்
உல்லாச தேனை நீ குடிச்சாலே
உண்டான நோய்க்கிது மருந்தாகும்
It becomes poison to evil eyes,
It becomes a feast to a heart of gold.
It becomes poison to evil eyes,
It becomes a feast to a heart of gold.
If you drink the joyous honey,
It becomes the medicine for the ailment created.
வண்டுகள் போகும் மலர் தேடி
வசந்த காலத்தில் இசை பாடி
அடிச்சது யோகம் ராஜா தான்
வண்டினை தேடுது ரோஜா தான்
Bees go searching for flowers,
Singing music in the spring season.
Luck has struck, the king indeed,
The rose itself seeks out the bee.
சரிதான் போட மடையன்தாண்டா
கள்ளை பால் போல குடிப்பாண்டா
That is true, go on, he is a fool,
He drinks toddy like milk.
மாமா மாமா ஏன் பாத்தே
Uncle, uncle, why did you look?
மடியில் சொர்க்கத்தை நான் பார்த்தேன்

மடியில் சொர்க்கத்தை நான் பார்த்தேன்
I saw heaven in your lap.
வானத்தில் இருந்து தேவதைப்போலே
வந்தாயடி நீ பூமியின் மேலே
வானத்தில் இருந்து தேவதைப்போலே
வந்தாயடி நீ பூமியின் மேலே
நித்தம் நித்தம் வாடி என் பூங்கொடியே
நான் ஆடத்தானே உன் மடியே
Like an angel from heaven,
You came down onto the earth.
Like an angel from heaven,
You came down onto the earth.
Come every single day, my flowering vine,
Your lap is there for me to play upon.
ஆகாதடி இந்த விளையாட்டு
நீ பாரடி என்னை எடை போட்டு
அழகை ரசிப்பவன் மடையனடி
அன்புக்குத்தான் நான் அடிமையடி
This game won't work out,
Weigh me and see for yourself.
He who merely admires beauty is a fool,
I am a slave only to true love.
அழகை மயக்கி ஆண்டும் உலகில்
அதிசய மனிதனும் நீதான்யா....
In a world ruled by captivating beauty,
You are truly a miraculous man!
மச்சான் மச்சான் ஏன் பாத்தே
ஆணா பெண்ணான்னு நான் பாத்தேன்
பெண்ணாக என்ன படைச்சானே
கண்ணோடு விஷத்த கலந்தானே
Dear cousin, dear cousin, why did you look?
