Pallavi
Cholli thaan thara venumo ,
Thonathu pogumo
Anupallavi
Mella kuzhal oothi , vindhai mozhi pesi,
Kallum karinthida kadal nama pesa
Charanam
Meni thanil ani thavaniyum yenna,
Vindhai kooru mena kettal,
Yenintha kopam thanitha chelai,
Unnathu than yendru chonnargal yendrar,
Kannathil karai yeno yendral –athu,
Kanpadum yendru yen annai ittathu yendrar,
Vannameni yellam vaatam yen yendral,
Vazhi yengum unai thedi alainthathal yendrar.
English translation
Pallavi
Should it be taught ,
Will it not come to his mind.
Anupallavi
To talk words of love which will melt the stone,
After slowly playing the flute and after talking sweet nothings (should it be..)
Charanam
Why this woman’s dress on your body,
Please tell the reason she asked,
Why this anger , They told me,
That this dress is yours only ,
Why this marks of Kumkum on your face,
It was put by my mother to prevent evil eye, told he,
Why this tiredness in your colorful body she asked,
Due to my wandering searching for you all my way , he said.
