வைகை நதி வெள்ளத்திலே
இங்கு நீயும் நீந்தி போறே
கொஞ்சம் நில்லு நானும் வாரேன்
கரை ரொம்ப தூரம் இல்ல
In the rushing waters of the Vaigai river,
You are swimming across here.
Wait a moment, I am coming too,
The shore is not very far away.
வைகை நதி வெள்ளத்திலே
என் கூட நீயும் வரலாம்
சின்னக் குயில் சேர்ந்திருக்க
மணமாலை நீயும் தரலாம்
மணமாலை நீயும் தரலாம்...
In the rushing waters of the Vaigai river,
You can come along with me.
The little cuckoo has joined,
You can give me the wedding garland.
You can give me the wedding garland.
என் வழியில் என்றும் காதல் தேவதை
சந்த இசை பாடிடவே
கன்னி மயில் உன்னை தேடி வந்ததே
என்னுலகம் நீ என்றதே
The goddess of love is always in my path,
Singing rhythmic melodies.
Female: The virgin peacock came searching for you,
Declaring that you are my entire world.
கண்ணருகில் நந்தவனம் ஆட
கையருகில் எந்தன் சொர்க்கம் கூட
தென்றல் வந்து நம்மை தாலாட்ட
தேவதைகள் தேனிசை மீட்ட
A garden dances near my eyes,
My heaven gathers right within reach.
Female: As the gentle breeze comes to lull us to sleep,
And angels play sweet musical tunes,
என் வாழ்விலே
என்றும் ஜெயம் நீ வந்ததால்
ஆ.......சுகராகமே உருவாகிடும்
நாள் வந்ததே
In my life,
It is always victory because you have arrived.
Female: Ah... the day has arrived,
Where a pleasant melody takes shape.
வைகை நதி வெள்ளத்திலே
இங்கு நீயும் நீந்தி போறே
கொஞ்சம் நில்லு நானும் வாரேன்
கரை ரொம்ப தூரம் இல்ல....
கரை ரொம்ப தூரம் இல்ல.....
In the rushing waters of the Vaigai river,
You are swimming across here.
Wait a moment, I am coming too,
The shore is not very far away.
The shore is not very far away.
உந்தன் இதழ் ஊறும் தேனின் போதையில்
எந்தன் மனம் பாடிடுமே
உன் மடியில் நானும் சாயும் போதிலே
சொர்க்கம் அங்கு தோன்றிடுமே
In the intoxication of honey flowing from your lips,
My heart begins to sing.
Female: When I lean on your lap,
Heaven appears right there.
சங்கமங்கள் காவியமாகும்
அங்கங்களில் ஆயிரம் ராகம்
பொன் புதையல் தேடிடும் நேரம்
பெண் விழிகள் கதவினை மூடும்
Our union becomes an epic poem,
A thousand ragas resonate across our bodies.
Female: When searching for a golden treasure,
A woman's eyes gently close the door.
வாழ்நாளிலே
என்றும் சுகம் நீ உள்ளதால்
ஆ.....விழி மூடியே
சுகம் கோடியே நாம் காணவே
In this life,
There is eternal joy because you exist.
Female: Ah... closing our eyes,
May we experience millions of delights.
வைகை நதி வெள்ளத்திலே
இங்கு நீயும் நீந்தி போறே

Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Vaigai nadhi vellaththilae”
The flow of love and passion is metaphorically compared to the rushing waters of the historic Vaigai river.
Edhugai (Second letter rhyming)
“Sangamangal kaaviyamaagum / Angangalil aayiram raagam”
The second consonant sound 'ng' rhymes across consecutive lines ('Sangamangal' and 'Angangalil').
Moonaai (Initial consonant alliteration)
“Kannarugil nanthavanam aada / Kaiyarugil enthan sorkkam kooda”
The initial letter 'K' creates alliteration between 'Kannarugil' and 'Kaiyarugil'.

Trivia
The song uses rich classical Tamil nature motifs such as 'Vaigai Nadhi' (Vaigai river), 'Kanni Mayil' (virgin peacock), and 'Chinna Kuyil' (little cuckoo) to evoke traditional Sangam-style romantic imagery.
