Both must become mine through you
The stream of water to swim and bathe in
ஒரு முல்லை
வனத்துல வண்டு பறக்குது
பூவ திறக்குது கல்லை
குடிக்குது
The flower garland embracing the chest
Both must become mine through you
கொட்டி கொடுக்கணும்
கட்டில் சுகம் அது விடியும்
வரைக்கும் இருக்கும்
In this lily pond, the fish is jumping
It embraces, overflows, and strikes a rhythm
கட்டி பிடித்தத
கை விட்டு பிரிந்ததும்
அடுத்த இரவின் வரவை
நினைக்கும்
In a jasmine forest, a beetle is flying
It opens the flower and drinks the nectar
