மலரோடு தென்றல் வந்து
விளையாடிச் செல்லும் போது
மனதோடு ஆசை வந்து உறவாட வந்தேனம்மா

உனைக் கொண்டாடுவேன் நானே
நீ சொல்லித் தந்த பாடம் எல்லாம்
நான் பாடவா ஹுகும் ஹும் ஹும் ஹும்
When the breeze comes to play
With the flower and leaves
Desire entered my mind
So I came to embrace you, my dear
Youthful, sweet, delicious honey
From now on, every day is pure pleasure
I will tell you stories, my deer-like girl
I will celebrate you myself
All the lessons you taught me
