காட்டுக்கு ராஜா முடிசூட்டு
கண்ணே பாடடி ஒரு பாட்டு
பாட்டுக்குத் தாளம் போட்டுக்க ராஜா
ஆரம்பம் ஆகட்டும் விளையாட்டு
Crown the king of the forest,
My dear, sing a song!
King, set the beat for the song,
Let the games begin!
பழகிப் பழகிக் கொஞ்சம்
விலகி விலகி வந்து
பருவத்துக் காதல் வழிக்காட்டு
விளையாட்டு முடி சூட்டு
விருந்துக்கு வரச் சொல்லடி..............!
Getting close and familiar bit by bit,
Moving away and coming back again,
Let youthful love show the way,
Crown this game of love!
Ask him to come for the feast, girl.
தெற்கு மலைப் பருவக் காற்று
தேட நிக்குது பாத்துக்கோ
தேன் குடத்தில் என்னை அள்ளிப் போட்டுக்கோ
பக்கத்திலே வெள்ளமுண்டு
அணையைப் போட்டு தடுத்துக்கோ
படகைப்போல மெல்ல மெல்ல மெதந்துக்கோ
The seasonal breeze from the southern hills,
Is standing and searching for you, look out!
Scoop me up and drop me into a pot of honey!
There is a flood flowing nearby,
Build a dam and stem the flow!
Float gently and slowly like a boat,
அக்கரைக்கும் இக்கரைக்கும் ஓடிக்கோ
ஆளவந்த ராஜாவையும் பாடிக்கோ
Run back and forth between this bank and that bank,
Sing in praise of the king who came to rule!
விருந்துக்கு வரச் சொல்லடி
வீரத்தில் சிங்கம் பார்வையில் அழகன்

இலையுதிர் காலம் போயாச்சு
துளிர்விடும் காலம் வந்தாச்சு
எல்லோரும் ஒண்ணா வில்லோடு நின்னா
எதிர்ப்பவை எல்லாம் தூளாச்சு
distributional The autumn season of falling leaves is gone,
The spring season of sprouting leaves has arrived!
When everyone stands together with their bows,
Whatever opposes us turns into dust!
எனக்கு எனக்கு நல்ல
பொழுது பொழுது என்று
இன்பத்தில் விழுந்தாள் சுகமாச்சு
நலமாச்சு உறவாச்சு
For me, for me, good times,
Moment by moment,
Falling into bliss has turned into pure joy,
Goodness has arrived, bonds have formed!
