To make flowers bloom in your affectionate hands,
She arrived like a flower garden,
To reside in your temple-like heart,
She stood like a sacred lamp of love.

உன் பாச கைகளில்
பூ பூக்க பூந்தோட்டமாய்
அவள் வந்தாள் உன் கோவில்
நெஞ்சிலே வாசம் செய்ய
காதல் தீபமாய் நின்றாள்
Lacking words to express my gratitude,
I too sang a song.
Gathering flowers within the melody,
I showered them upon you.
விஷ்லிங் :

As the beautiful sun speaks through its eyes,
As the ornate white moon reaches our hands.
மூங்கில்கள்

பாடுது
எனக்குள்ளே
பாட்டு சத்தம் நீ
செய்தாய் இதயத்தில்
நாடி சத்தம் நீ தந்தாய்
நன்றி சொல்ல
வார்த்தை இன்றி நானும்
பாடினேன் பாட்டுக்குள்ளே
பூக்கள் அள்ளி உன் மேல்
தூவினேன்
அழகான சூரியன்
கண்ணால் பேச அலங்கார
வெண்ணிலா கைகள் சேர
