கள்ளூறும் பூ முடித்து வா
அடி தங்கக்கட்டி சொல்லாமல் நான் எடுக்கவா
அடி பேதைப் பெண்ணே
கள்ளூறும் பூ முடித்து வா
அடி தங்கக்கட்டி சொல்லாமல் நான் எடுக்கவா
Come wearing flowers dripping with sweet nectar
Hey block of gold, shall I steal you without telling?
Oh innocent girl!
Come wearing flowers dripping with sweet nectar
Hey block of gold, shall I steal you without telling?
நான் ஆளாகி நாளாகி நின்றேன்
இன்று பாலாகி தேனாகி வந்தேன்
I grew up and stood through the passage of days
Today I have arrived like milk and honey
பாலுக்குள்ளே நெய்யைத் தேடி
நெய்யை வைத்த கையைத் தேடி
கையில் வைத்த மையைத் தேடி வந்தேனே ஓடி....
உறவு வரவு நீயே செல்வம்........

உன்னோடு காத்திருக்கவோ
எது நேரம் என்று
பொன் வேளை பார்த்திருக்கவோ
நீ சம்சாரம் இல்லாத ராஜா நான்
சந்தோஷம் கொண்டாடும் ரோஜா
Shall I keep waiting with you?
Wondering which moment is right?
Shall I look out for the golden hour?
Female: You are an unattached king, and I am
A rose celebrating pure happiness
அல்லித் தண்டு நீதானம்மா
அள்ளிக் கொண்டு போவேனம்மா
நேரம் கண்டு நின்றேனம்மா
துள்ளாதே சும்மா
உறவு வரவு நீயே செல்வம்...........
You are the soft lily stem, my girl
I will scoop you up and carry you away, my girl
I stood watching for the right time, my girl
Do not bounce around without reason

நெஞ்சோடு நீ இணைந்தாயே
என் பார்வை பட்டு அன்றாடம் நீ நனைந்தாயே
என் காதல் கண்ணா........
நெஞ்சோடு நீ இணைந்தாயே.........
என் பார்வை பட்டு அன்றாடம் நீ நனைந்தாயே
You have entwined yourself with my heart
Caught in my gaze, you get drenched daily
Oh my precious beloved eyes
You have entwined yourself with my heart
Caught in my gaze, you get drenched daily
இனி அச்சாரம் தந்தாக வேண்டும்
உன் முத்தாரம் வந்தாக வேண்டும்
Now an advance token of love must be given
Your pearl necklace must arrive
தொட்டுத் தொட்டு மாளாதுங்க
தங்கச் சிட்டு தாளாதுங்க
கட்டிக் கொண்டு நீராடுங்க கட்டாயம் வாங்க
Touching repeatedly without ever tiring
Singing a lullaby to the golden bird
Embrace each other and bathe in joy, definitely come
