ஆசை இதயம்
விரியும் விரியம்
அன்பின் அமுதம்
பொழியும் பொழியும்
The longing heart expands and expands
The nectar of love pours and pours
A new sense of shyness dawns

தேன் ஓடிடும் குளிர் நீரோடையும்
Have all become our kingdom now
Good wishes express themselves unspoken
நம் ராஜாங்கம்
இன்றேதான் ஆனதே
நல்லாசிகள் சொல்லாமல் சொல்லுதே
You alone are my divine lord
Your very soul, oh... oh... oh...
Sweet lullabies are heard and touch the heart
எந்தன் தேவனே நீதானே
