Wherever I look, there is novelty and freshness
What a marvel this youthfulness is!
In nature, in this stage of youth
A sweet sensation throbs and pulses
எங்குப் பார்த்தாலும் புதுமை புதுமை
என்னதானிந்த இளமை இளமை
இயற்கையிலே பருவத்திலே
துடிக்கின்றதே ஒரு இனிமை இனிமை
In the pond where lotus flowers bloom
Female: At the time when water overflows
Male: In the pond where lotus flowers bloom
Female: At the time when water overflows
Male: As the flowers gently sway
Female: My heart drifts away in desire
தாமரை பூத்த தடாகத்திலே
தண்ணீர் ததும்பும் நேரத்திலே
தாமரை பூத்த தடாகத்திலே
தண்ணீர் ததும்பும் நேரத்திலே
பூக்கள் மெதுவாய் ஆடையிலே
போகின்றதே மனம் ஆசையிலே
Wherever I look, there is novelty and freshness
Female: What a marvel this youthfulness is!
Male: In nature
Female: In this stage of youth

இருவர் :
துடிக்கின்றதே ஒரு இனிமை இனிமை
Making a bed on the green grass
Making a bed on the green grass
Laying a mattress of plucked flowers
If we remain together until our desires are fulfilled
Day and night pass without us even realizing
பச்சைப் புல்லில் படுக்கையிட்டு
பச்சைப் புல்லில் படுக்கையிட்டு
பறித்த பூவில் மெத்தையிட்டு
இச்சை தீர நாமிருந்தால்
இரவும் பகலும் புரிவதில்லை
Ahaa
On the seashore where the breeze walks
On the seashore where the breeze walks
In a secluded place where love walks
All the events that happened yesterday
Reminiscing about them feels so sweet, my dear
ஆஹா ..
காற்று நடக்கும் கடற்கரையில்
காற்று நடக்கும் கடற்கரையில்
காதல் நடக்கும் தனியிடத்தில்
நேற்று நடந்த நிகழ்ச்சி எல்லாம்
நினைத்துப் பார்த்தால் இனிக்குதம்மா
A night offered by love
The first night that mesmerizes the eyes
Haa aa aa haa
A night offered by love
The first night that mesmerizes the eyes
Male: The white moon sings blessings
Long live our honeymoon!
Both: Long live our honeymoon!
Long live our honeymoon!
காதல் வழங்கும் ஓரிரவு
கண்களை மயக்கும் முதலிரவு
ஹா ஆஆ ஆஅ ஹா
காதல் வழங்கும் ஓரிரவு
கண்களை மயக்கும் முதலிரவு
வாழ்த்துப் பாடும் வெண்ணிலவு
வாழ்க நமது தேன் நிலவு..........
