தொட்டுப்பார் பட்டுப் போன்ற மேனி
சொர்க்கத்தை விற்க வந்த ராணி
செவ்வாழை தண்டாகும் எந்தன் தேகம்
என் பேரை சொன்னாலே எச்சில் ஊறும்
Touch and see my silk-like body
The queen who came to sell heaven
My body is soft like the stem of a red banana tree
Just saying my name makes mouths water
தொட்டுப்பார் பட்டுப் போன்ற மேனி
சொர்க்கத்தை விற்க வந்த ராணி
Touch and see my silk-like body
The queen who came to sell heaven
பார் நீ
என் மேனி தங்கச்சுரங்கம்
இது எந்நாளும் பொது அரங்கம்
விழியில் காதல் வலை
விரிப்பாள் சாகுந்தலை
இளமைச் சோலை
Look at you
My body is a gold mine
This is always a public stage
A net of love in her eyes
Shakuntala spreads it
A grove of youthfulness
தொட்டுப்பார் பட்டுப் போன்ற மேனி
சொர்க்கத்தை விற்க வந்த ராணி
செவ்வாழை தண்டாகும் எந்தன் தேகம்
என் பேரை சொன்னாலே எச்சில் ஊறும்
Touch and see my silk-like body
The queen who came to sell heaven
My body is soft like the stem of a red banana tree
Just saying my name makes mouths water
தொட்டுப்பார் பட்டுப் போன்ற மேனி
Touch and see my silk-like body

என் தேகம் பாருங்கள் பாலாடை
நான் பாலாறு பாய்கின்ற தேனோடை
என் கைகள்தானே என் மேலாடை
என் கைகள்தானே என் மேலாடை
என் போல யாருமில்லை.......
Look at my body, soft like cream of milk
I am a stream of honey where a river of milk flows
My hands themselves are my upper garment
My hands themselves are my upper garment
There is no one like me
என் தேகம் பாருங்கள் பாலாடை
நான் பாலாறு பாய்கின்ற தேனோடை
Look at my body, soft like cream of milk
I am a stream of honey where a river of milk flows
என்னுடம்பு சில்க்கோட ஜாதி
My body belongs to the finest silk variety
ஹான் என்னுடம்பு ஆனந்த ஜோதி
Haan, my body is a flame of supreme bliss
ஹேய் என்னுடம்பு சில்க்கோட ஜாதி
Haei, my body belongs to the finest silk variety
ஹா என்னுடம்பு ஆனந்த ஜோதி
Haa, my body is a flame of supreme bliss
ஹோ என் அழகில் நீ என்றும் பாதி
Hoo, compared to my beauty, yours is only half
என் ஆட்சி உன் ஜம்பம் பாயாது
In my domain, your pride will not work
அடி.......மலை மீது நீ வந்து மோதாதே
Oh girl, do not let water crash fruitlessly against the mountain
அழகே
Beauty!
இதழா
Is it the lips?
இடையா
Is it the waist?
விழியா.....
Is it the eyes?

My body is like a female deer
பெண் மானை போல் எந்தன் தேகம்
My eyes reflect the expressiveness of heaven
என் கண்கள் சொர்க்கத்தின் பாவம்
Even your palm is not as soft as the soles of my feet
என் பாதம் போலே உன் உள்ளங்கை இல்லை
The flowers I wear represent the pinnacle of womanhood
நான் கொண்ட பூக்கள் பெண்மைக்கு எல்லை
Look ahead, there is no truth
Look behind, there is no womanhood equal to this
முன்னால் பார் உண்மையில்லை
பின்னால் பார் பெண்மையில்லை
I am a maiden
லால்லால்ல லால்லால்ல லால்லால்ல
லால்லால்ல லால்லால்ல லால்லால்ல
Do not bounce around; I am the sister of celestial nymph Rambha
மங்கை நான்
Who is equal to me in expressive grace?
துள்ளாதே ரம்பைக்கு தங்கை நான்
Who is equal to you in sheer arrogance?
பாவத்தில் என் போலே யார் உண்டு
Just looking into my eyes gives an intoxicating kick
அகம்பாவத்தில் உன் போலே யார் உண்டு
A crane cannot match the graceful dance of a peacock
என் கண்ணை பார்த்தாலே உண்டாகும் கிக்கு
Look at me, look at my beauty
மயிலோடு ஒயிலாட்டம் ஆடாது கொக்கு
Look at my cheeks, look at their vibrant shade
என்னைப்பார் என் அழகைப் பார்
என் கன்னம் பார் அதன் வண்ணம் பார்.......
