Like a bee with a flower,
Filled with a new passion,
The colors it expresses,
For you to express them too.
நான் சொல்லும்போது
இரு கண்கள் மூடி
எழுதாத எண்ணங்கள்
நீ சொல்லத்தான்
As I speak,
Closing both eyes,
Unwritten thoughts,
For you to express them too.
இன்பம் வாழும்.....
உந்தன் நெஞ்சம்.....
தீபம் ஏற்றும்.....

தேனாக நீ வந்து
சீராட்டதான்
An unquenchable desire,

You came like honey,
To pamper me.
காணாத வாழ்வு
நீ தந்த வேலை
பூமாலை நீ சூடி
பாராட்டத்தான்
A life never seen before,
When you bestowed it upon me,
Adorning a flower garland,
To appreciate and celebrate.
நீ என் ராணி......
நாந்தான் தேனீ......
நீ என் ராஜா.....
நான் என் ரோஜா.....
தெய்வீக பந்தத்திலே
நான் கண்ட சொர்க்கம் இது
காதல் உறவே.....
You are my queen,
And I am the honeybee.
