En aaruyirae nal vaan amudhae
Nam kaadhalilae vettri maalaigal soodiyadhalae
Female :Thannai maranthom vinnil parandhom
Innaal inithaaga vaazhvinil or thirunaalae
Both :Thottu vilaiyaadum sittugalai polae
Vatta miduvom anbae
Mudivaana inbam thodarathu thunbam

Senthaen nirai kinnam en ninaippinilae
Un sael vizhi thullum en jeevanai allum
Thaniyaaga vandhum ingae thadai yenamma

Female :Ullasathil pen ullam midhanthiduma

My dearest life, sweet nectar of heaven,
Because our love has won the garland of victory,
Female: We forgot ourselves and flew into the sky,
Sweetly, this day has become a joyous celebration in our lives.
Both: Like little birds playing and brushing against each other,
We will circle and dance together, my love!
Endless happiness, where sorrow can never follow,
A lasting bond, a closeness that will never part.
[Humming]
Male: As your lotus-like cheeks blush red,
A cup filled with pure honey fills my thoughts.
Your dancing eyes flutter and capture my soul;
When we have met alone here, why this hesitation, my dear?
An unread lesson, an untrodden path—
Won't shyness hold back an innocent, inexperienced girl?
[Humming]
Female: Will a woman's heart simply float away in delight?
If I do not say it aloud, will my longing lessen?
Why be angry with me? Look at me with your eyes;
Will my claim on you ever be stolen away after today?
