Two beetle-like eyes come together repeatedly
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...

அந்தி வரை மயக்கம் ஓ...
சொல்லிச் சொல்லி அழைக்கும்

சோலை ஓரம் நீ இல்லாது
மாலை கோர்க்கக் கூடுமா
வேளை பார்த்து நீ வராது
வேகம் என்ன ஆறுமா
Without you by the edge of the grove
Can a floral garland be strung?
If you do not arrive watching the time
Will this intense passion subside?
மேளத்தோடு நாயனம்
ஓ......சேர்ந்து பாட நாள் வரும்
The traditional drums along with the nadaswaram pipe, oo...
A day will arrive for them to play in harmony
அள்ளி அணைத்திடும் அழகே அமுதே
சொல்லிக் கொடுத்திட வா வா
O beautiful one like nectar, who embraces tightly
Come, come to teach me love
சொல்லிக் கொடுத்திடும் பொழுதே உனக்கே
சொர்க்கம் படைத்திட வா வா
When teaching love to you
Come, come to create a heaven
எந்தக் காலமும் ஒன்று கூடலாம்
தனியாய் இருந்தோம்
இசைதான் நம்மை இணைத்தது
At any moment we can unite together
We were living all alone
Music alone brought us together

நானும் நீயும் கூடும் போது
தேனும் பாலும் வேண்டுமோ
ராகம் தாளம் சேரும் போது
மேடை போட வேண்டுமோ
In a lonely, secluded hour, oo...
Through unsaid, subtle hints
ஆள் இல்லாத வேளையில்
ஓ.......கூறிடாத ஜாடையில்
O beautiful one like nectar, to narrate stories of love
Come, come to the inner royal chamber
அன்புக் கதை சொல்ல அழகே அமுதே
அந்தப்புரத்துக்கு வா வா
To taste the sweet juice, O lips, for you
Come, come to offer divine pleasure
இன்ப ரசம் உண்ண இதழே உனக்கோர்
இன்ப சுகம் தர வா வா
O temple of bliss, on these shoulders I will rest happily
This state shall remain permanent from now on
இன்பக் கோயிலே இந்தத் தோளிலே
இனிதாய் இருப்பேன்
இது தான் இனி நிரந்தரம்
