கூன் பிறைகள் விண்ணில் ரெண்டு
குறையும் ஒன்று கூடும் ஒன்று
தேயாமல் என்றும் வாழும் நிலவே
வாய் திறந்து எந்தன் முன்னால்
வார்த்தை ஒன்று மெல்லச் சொன்னால்
நோய் பறந்து போகும் தன்னால்
நாணம் வருமோ விடுமோ தொடுமோ
எதுவோ அறியேன்
There are two crescent moons in the sky
One wanes while the other waxes
Oh moon that lives forever without ever waning!
If she opens her mouth before me
And softly speaks a single word
My illness and sorrow will fly away on their own
Will shyness arrive, depart, or touch her?
I do not know what will happen
