காம்புகே தெரியாமல்
பூவை பறிப்பேன் கடலுக்கே
தெரியாமல் உப்பு எடுப்பேன்
Without even the stem knowing,
I will pluck the flower.
Without even the ocean knowing,
I will take the salt.
சாமத்தில் உன்
பக்கம் சாஞ்சு படுப்பேன்
சம்மதம் கேட்காமல்
மேஞ்சு முடிப்பேன்
In the middle of the night, beside you,
I will lean and lie down.
Without asking for permission,
I will indulge completely.
சாமத்து சங்கீதம்
கேட்டாலே சந்தோஷம்
சாமத்து சங்கீதம் கேட்டாலே
சந்தோஷம் தினந்தோறும்
கேட்டாலும் ஒருபோதும்
சலிக்காதே
Midnight music,
Listening to it brings happiness.

Even if heard every single day,
It will never get boring!

இனிமேல் உன் பாடு
An uncultivated open field,
You sow the seed yourself,
With blooming delight,
From now on, it is your responsibility!
