தேனாய் ஒரு பாடல் சொல்ல
கேட்டேன் பின்னாலே
In the dusk of the evening
The endearing cuckoo bird
To sing a sweet song like honey
I heard from behind

To sing a sweet song like honey
I heard from behind
மன்மதன் சொல்லிய மந்திரம்
அத்தனை பொல்லாததோ
என்னிடம் சொல்லிய சங்கதி
உன்னிடம் சொல்லாததோ........

Is it so mischievously potent?
