Natrinai 120

Smiling face 
Let guest come to my house. It will remove her sulking, the hero says.
That is house where calves of buffalo tied in every pillar.
She wears rings in her ears. She appears in her affluence in body-structure and pale in her mind. She wears ring in her little finger. She cuts sward fish in her talent and fry it. The smoke hits her eyes. She will not care. There will be perspiration in her forehead. She will remove it by her dress-end. She has cooked happily. Alas, she is sulking with me. Let guest come to my house. She will behave with them with smiling face slightly opening her pretty teeth. That is I want to see in her face.

Poet: Mangudi Kilar
Poem belongs to 2nd century B.C.
