Vaasa karuveppilaiyae
En maaman peththa malligaiyae
: Vaasa karuveppilaiyae
En aththa peththa mannavanae
Oodha kuliru kaathu
Adhu oosi kuthura podhu
Onna nenachu thookkam pochu pochu
Oodha kuliru kaathu
Adhu oosi kuthura podhu
Onna nenachu thookkam pochu pochu
Vaasa karuveppilaiyae
En maaman peththa malligaiyae
Nelavu sela katti
Nadakkudhu ponnaa
Olaga adhisayathil
Ippadi onnaa
Nadandhaa thenmadhura
Paandiyan pola
Nazhuvudhu paathadhumae
Iduppula sela
Nandri ketta sela
Adhu venaa vitturudi
Kannae undhan sela
Ini naan thaan kattikkadi
Etti nillu saami
Nee thottaa ottikkuva
Thottil onnu poda
Oru thodhu pannikkuva
Ippodhae ammaavaa neeyaanaa
En paadu ennaagum vaammaa
Vaasa karuveppilaiyae
En aththa peththa mannavanae
Odambo thangathula
Vaarthadhu pola
Odhado mul murunga
Poothadhu pola
Karuppu vairathula
Senjadhu dhegam
Kandadhum elasukkellaam
Vandhidum mogam
Endha ponnu kaiyum
Enna innum thottadhilla
Indru mattum kannae
Namma karpum kettadhilla
Karpu ulla raasaa
Naan unna mechikkiren
Kattikkaiyaa thaali
Unna nallaa vechukkiraen
Kalyaanam kacheri oorkolam
Kaiyodu kai serthu povom
Vaasa karuveppilaiyae
En aththa peththa mannavanae
Vaasa karuveppilaiyae
En maaman peththa malligaiyae
Oodha kuliru kaathu
Adhu oosi kuthura podhu
Onna nenachu thookkam pochu pochu
Oodha kuliru kaathu
Adhu oosi kuthura podhu
Onna nenachu thookkam pochu pochu
Vaasa karuveppilaiyae
En aththa peththa mannavanae
My fragrant curry leaf!
My sweet jasmine, born to my uncle!
My fragrant curry leaf!
My handsome king, born to my aunt!
When the biting cold breeze
pierces through me like needles,
thoughts of you make my sleep vanish completely!
When the biting cold breeze
pierces through me like needles,
thoughts of you make my sleep vanish completely!
My fragrant curry leaf!
My sweet jasmine, born to my uncle!
Draped in a sari, the moon itself
walks along like pure gold!
Among all the wonders of this world,
could there be anything like you?
When you walk with the swagger
of an ancient Pandya king of Madurai,
the moment my eyes catch you,
the sari slips right off my waist!
That ungrateful sari of yours,
throw it away if it won't stay!
My darling, wrap yourself around me—
let me be your sari from now on!
Stay away, my handsome man!
If you touch me, you won't let go,
and you'll find an easy excuse
to put up a baby's cradle!
If you become a mother right now,
what will become of my longing? Come to me!
My fragrant curry leaf!
My handsome king, born to my aunt!
Your skin looks as though
it was cast out of pure gold!
Your lips are as bright and red
as blooming coral flowers!
Crafted like a black diamond,
your strong frame shines,
and the moment young women see you,
desire stirs within their hearts!
No girl's hand
has ever touched me yet!
Until this very day, my darling,
my virtue has stayed untouched!
My truly virtuous king,
I praise you with all my heart!
Tie the thali (wedding knot) around my neck,
and I will look after you with all my love!
With festive music and a grand wedding procession,
we will walk hand in hand together!
My fragrant curry leaf!
My handsome king, born to my aunt!
My fragrant curry leaf!
My sweet jasmine, born to my uncle!
When the biting cold breeze
pierces through me like needles,
thoughts of you make my sleep vanish completely!
When the biting cold breeze
pierces through me like needles,
thoughts of you make my sleep vanish completely!
My fragrant curry leaf!
My handsome king, born to my aunt!
