Tell him to come, my friend, tell him to come!
Tell him to come in the twilight of the evening.
A wholehearted kiss from my lips,
I must give him myself.
Tell him to come, my friend, tell him to come...
What if he sees me as his Deivayanai?
What if he embraces me until my red sindoor rubs away?
What if he sees me as his Deivayanai?
What if he embraces me until my red sindoor rubs away?
What if our hands gently hold each other?
What if our hands gently hold each other?
What if I come to know all the joys of marriage?
What if I come to know all the joys of marriage?
Tell him to come, my friend!
Tell him to come in the twilight of the evening.
Is there anything Kumaran of the hill temple doesn't know?
Doesn't he know the story my lap longs to tell?
Is this temple of beauty something he cannot see?
Isn't it soft, tender, and ready for love?
He came, and with the drape of the saree's edge,
You looked with love, finding a sweet stream of honey.
He came, and with the drape of the saree's edge,
You looked with love, finding a sweet stream of honey.
Sweet with the taste of wedded bliss,
You stood waiting to offer your lips.
For Valli, the Kurava girl, to drink in your love,
You went all the way to the bridal bed.
Murugan, Kumaran, Skandan, the spear-bearer Velan—
Murugan, Kumaran, Skandan, the spear-bearer Velan—
On this intoxicating night filled with spring,
To the blissful retreat of this doe,
Tell him to come, my friend!
A wholehearted kiss from my lips,
I must give him myself.
Tell him to come, my friend, tell him to come!
