At the moment the rhythm touches,
And the cloud touches the sky,
Thoughts of you play music within me...

Love inside the heart,
A swirl.. oh..oo
A flute within my breath,
நெஞ்சுக்குள் காதல் சுழல் ஓஓ...
மூச்சுக்குள் புல்லாங்குழல்

The evening crescent moon arrives,
Standing in the golden sky,
It proclaims the colors of your beauty.
Oo ho ho

Sleeping in the lap of a flower,
Borrowing the language of the gentle breeze,
It conveys the voice of this maiden's heart...
