அன்றொரு நாள் இதே நிலவில்
அவர் இருந்தார் என் அருகே
நான் அடைக்கலம் தந்தேன்
என் அழகை

On that day, under this same moonlight
He was beside me
I gave refuge to him with
My beauty
You know this, oh white moon

பாதி விழிகள்
மூடிக் கிடந்தேன்
பாதி விழிகள் மூடிக் கிடந்தேன்
பாவை மேனியிலே
நீ பார்த்தாயே வெண்ணிலவே
With eyes half
Closed, I lay there
I lay there with eyes half closed
Upon the maiden's body
You witnessed it, oh white moon
அன்றொரு நாள் இதே நிலவில்
அவள் இருந்தாள் என் அருகே
நான் அடைக்கலம் கொண்டேன்
அவள் அழகை
நீ அறிவாயே வெண்ணிலவே
On that day, under this same moonlight
She was beside me
I took refuge in
Her beauty
You know this, oh white moon
ஆடும் கனியை
ஆடாமல் எடுத்தான்
வாடும் மலரை
வாடாமல் தொடுத்தான்
The swaying fruit
He plucked without letting it sway
The fading flower
He wove without letting it fade
ஆடும் கனியை
ஆடாமல் எடுத்தான்
வாடும் மலரை
வாடாமல் தொடுத்தான்
சூடிக் கொடுத்தான் பாடி முடித்தான்
சூடிக் கொடுத்தான் பாடி முடித்தான்
பாவை மேனியிலே
நீ பார்த்தாயே வெண்ணிலவே
The swaying fruit
He plucked without letting it sway
The fading flower
He wove without letting it fade
He adorned her with flowers and finished singing
He adorned her with flowers and finished singing
Upon the maiden's body
You witnessed it, oh white moon
