வா வா மாமா சந்தோஷமா
வந்தா இருக்கும் உல்லாசமா
பதினாறு வயசுதான் பழகாத புதுசுதான்
பசிச்சா விருந்துண்டு வந்தாலென்னையா
பதமா எடுத்தென்னை தந்தா என்னய்யா
Come, come sir, in high spirits!
If you step in, it will be pure delight!
Just sixteen years of age, fresh and untamed.
If you are hungry, a feast awaits, so why not join?
What if I yield myself gently to you, my dear sir?
வா வா மாமா சந்தோஷமா
வந்தா இருக்கும் உல்லாசமா
பதினாறு வயசுதான் பழகாத புதுசுதான்
பசிச்சா விருந்துண்டு வந்தாலென்னையா
பதமா எடுத்தென்னை தந்தா என்னய்யா
Come, come sir, in high spirits!
If you step in, it will be pure delight!
Just sixteen years of age, fresh and untamed.
If you are hungry, a feast awaits, so why not join?
What if I yield myself gently to you, my dear sir?
{ஆஹா தேவலோகம் இங்கே
நீயாக பார்த்தாலே கொண்டாட்டம் தானே
ஏதோ மோக ராகம் வந்து
மோதாதோ பாடாதோ உன்னோடுதானே} (2)
Aahaa, heaven on earth is right here!
If you look closely, it is a grand celebration!
A melody of desire emerges,
Won't it embrace you and sing along with you?
தேகம் யோகம் காதல் யாகம்
தேடும் யாவும் கூடும் காலம்
ஆசை உண்டானது ஆடும் வண்டானது
பாலோடு பழமுண்டு உங்க முன்னாடி
பாவை என் தேகம் பளிங்கு கண்ணாடி
Body, fortune, and the ritual of love,
This is the moment when all that you seek aligns.
Desire has blossomed, hovering like a fluttering beetle.
Milk and fruits await right before you,
My young maiden body is like a crystal glass mirror.
வா வா மாமா சந்தோஷமா
வந்தா இருக்கும் உல்லாசமா
பதினாறு வயசுதான் பழகாத புதுசுதான்
பசிச்சா விருந்துண்டு வந்தாலென்னையா
பதமா எடுத்தென்னை தந்தா என்னய்யா
Come, come sir, in high spirits!
If you step in, it will be pure delight!
Just sixteen years of age, fresh and untamed.

What if I yield myself gently to you, my dear sir?
{மானும் இந்த மீனும் வந்து
பொன்னாக பொன்னாக முன்னாடி ஆட
நானும் கூட நீயும் இங்கு சேர்ந்தாட
சிரித்தாட சங்கீதம் பாட} (2)
The deer and the fish arrive,
To dance before you glowing like solid gold,
As you and I unite here to dance,
To laugh, dance, and sing musical melodies together.
தாகம் தீரும் மோகம் தீரும்
வேகம் ஏறும் கோடைக் காலம்
பாடும் சன்யாசியும் தேடும் சம்சாரியும்
காணாத ஆனந்தம் காணும் நேரம்
கன்னி கைப்பட்டா கவலையும் மாறும்
Thirst will be quenched, passion satisfied,
Intensity rises, like the peak of summer season.
Both the singing hermit and the seeking family man,
Will witness a moment of unprecedented bliss.
When a maiden touches, even worries dissolve.
