தெய்வானை போல் என்னை நினைத்தால் என்ன
என் செந்தூரம் கரைந்தோட அணைத்தால் என்ன
தெய்வானை போல் என்னை நினைத்தால் என்ன
என் செந்தூரம் கரைந்தோட அணைத்தால் என்ன
கையோடு கை கொஞ்சம் கலந்தால் என்ன ஆ ஆ
கையோடு கை கொஞ்சம் கலந்தால் என்ன
நான் கல்யாண சுகம் யாவும் அறிந்தால் என்ன
நான் கல்யாண சுகம் யாவும் அறிந்தால் என்ன
What if he thinks of me as Deivanai?
What if he embraces me till my vermilion melts away?

மலைக் கோவில் குமரேசன் அறியாததா
என் மடி என்ன கதை சொல்ல தெறியாததா
மலைக் கோவில் குமரேசன் அறியாததா
என் மடி என்ன கதை சொல்ல தெறியாததா
Is it unknown to Kumareshan of the mountain temple?
Does my lap not know how to tell stories?
மலைக் கோவில் குமரேசன் அறியாததா
என் மடி என்ன கதை சொல்ல தெறியாததா
மலைக் கோவில் குமரேசன் அறியாததா

Is he unable to behold this temple of art?
Is it tender, or is it perfectly seasoned?
வந்தானை சேனையோடு முந்தானை
காதலோடு கண்டானை தேனருவி கொண்டானை
வந்தானை சேனையோடு முந்தானை
காதலோடு கண்டானை தேனருவி கொண்டானை
He came with the saree and the pallu draped
He saw with love, turning into a stream of honey
He came with the saree and the pallu draped
He saw with love, turning into a stream of honey
பத்தி சுவையுடம் தித் தித்தொரு இதழ் தருமென நின்றானை
வள்ளி குறமகள் அள்ளி பருகிட பள்ளி தளம் வரை சென்றானை
முருகனை குமரனை கந்தனை வேலனை
முருகனை குமரனை கந்தனை வேலனை
With half the sweetness, sweetly...
He stood hoping she would offer her lips
For Valli, the gypsy girl, to scoop up and drink
He went all the way to the bedchamber
To Murugan, Kumaran, Kanthan, Velan...

வசந்தம் நிறைந்த மயங்கும் இரவில்
மான் இவள் ஆனந்த சாலைக்கு
