Come, a thousand moons!
Come, O a thousand moons!
Searching for sweetness at the edge of lips,
As eyes sing a new song again and again.

மன்னவனின் தோள் இரண்டை
மங்கை எந்தன் கை தழுவ
கார் குழலும் பாய் விரிக்கும்
கண் சிவந்து வாய் வெளுக்கும்....
Upon the king's two shoulders,
As this maiden's hands embrace,
Dark tresses spread out like a bed,
Eyes redden and lips turn pale.

Dark tresses spread out like a bed,
Eyes redden and lips turn pale.
இந்த மயக்கம் எழில் முகம்
முத்தாக வேர்க்காதோ
இந்த மயக்கம் எழில் முகம்
முத்தாக வேர்க்காதோ
அந்த நினைவில் வந்து விழுந்தேன்
கொத்தான பூவாக
Won't this entranced, beautiful face
Perspire like glistening pearls?
Won't this entranced, beautiful face
Perspire like glistening pearls?
Lost in that thought, I came and fell,
Like a cluster of fresh flowers.

நள்ளிரவு துணையிருக்க
நாம் இருவர் தனியிருக்க
நாணமென்ன பாவமென்ன
நடை தளர்ந்து போனதென்ன
With the midnight standing as our companion,
With the two of us left in solitude,
Why this bashfulness, why these expressions?
Why has your gait grown so weary?
