Yaen azhagaa ennai kaakka vaithu paarkiraai
Yezhai ival usuroda bhaaram saerkkiraai
Kaathiduven unakkaga nooru senmamae
Kangal rendilae kadalaiyum adakkinaen
Ada kodi kodiyaai kotti koduthaalum
Kodukkaatha en manasa
Nee kedutheyada vayasa
Yetti puduchiyada usura
Un morattu thanamaana paasathulayae
Naanum kooda konjam bayanthaen
Un kirukku thanamana paarvaiyilae
Intha paavi chirukkiyum vizhunthen
Thindadi nikkuraen naanadaa
Un pondaati manasaiyum paaradaa
Ini ennaalum unakku naanadaa

Why do you keep me waiting and watch me, handsome?
You pile a heavy burden onto this poor girl's soul.
I will wait for you across a hundred lifetimes.
I held back an entire ocean within my two eyes.
Even if millions were poured out before me,
my heart, which I never gave to anyone,
you swept away my youth,
and reached out to capture my life.
At your rough and fierce love,
even I felt a little scared.
In your wild, crazy gaze,
even this poor girl fell completely.
I stand here struggling and dazed,
look at the heart of your wife-to-be!
From now on, I am yours forever.
You must proudly twirl your mustache,
and as your wife, I must boss you around.
You must behave yourself and stay humble,
and drink up even if I only serve you plain porridge.
You must cherish and support me every day,
like the apple of your eye.
Goodness, are you starting your demands already?
Oh girl, how much you complain!
You stir and shake me up completely,
swaying like a bunch of waist-keys.
Because of you, my world is shaking.
You set off firecrackers deep in my heart!
Hey you, pretty little girl,
the crazy girl who broke my heart wide open,
I want to hold you tight and steal you away.
You sowed sweet sugarcane across my iron shoulders;
like a thief, so I could forget myself,
you cuddled and lifted me like a little child,
making me look at you like a mother.
Because of you, I have truly grown into a man...
It is only your face
that tempts me to adore and gaze at you.
My deep desire
has turned deep red like henna.
What is this sudden shyness?
I have never felt anything like this in my life.
Whatever in the world
happened to me, I have completely forgotten.
I want to rule over you with love every day,
I want to whisper my desires in the night,
I want to hold you tight and fall asleep,
pull up the blanket and drift into bliss.
I want to hold five or six children in my arms,
born of you, resting on me.
I must protect you like my own eyes each day,
fulfill every single one of your wishes,
look after you like a child,
pamper you and sweep you into my arms as a young woman,
and live within the warmth of your breath.
This clever little thief
has thrashed and washed my heart,
bleaching my heart clean like fresh cloth,
making me born brand-new into this world,
walking on air in thoughts of you.
Listening to your childlike chatter,
I turn into a child myself, my girl!
Beautiful girl, I admired you every single day.
To intimidate you under my mustache
I have no courage at all,
so I have coiled up gentle like a snake in a basket,
tamed by your love, by your love alone.
This is enough, my dear, what more do I need in life?
Having you by my side and having your love is all I need.
Together as one, we can live as wide and free as the sky.
Together as one, we can live as wide and free as the sky.
