ராசா கொஞ்சம் லேசா
தொட்டுப் பாரிது கிராமத்து ரோசா.....
ஆளான நாளா நான் உன்ன நெனச்சேன்
தாளாத தாகம் ராவெல்லாம் முழிச்சேன்
பூவான தேகத்தில் புது ராகம் படிச்சேன்
Oh King (my love), gently...
The village rose seen in the garden.
Ever since I came of age, I have been thinking of you.
With unquenchable thirst, I stayed awake all night.
In my flower-like body, I learned a new tune.

உன் நெனப்புல துடிக்குது நாடி
ஆசைக்கு பூச நான் போட வாரேன்
ஆனந்த சொகத்த நாளெல்லாம் தாரேன்

பூவாகும் பாரேன்
Come girl, come closer.
My pulse beats in thoughts of you.
I am coming to perform rituals for desire.
I will grant blissful sorrow all day long.
If I touch it, even a honey bud...
Will bloom into a flower, just watch!
