எண்ணூறு ஆண்டுகளில்
எண்ணுகின்ற எண்ணங்கள்
எழுந்தன ஒரு நாள் உனைப் பார்த்து
In eight hundred years,
The thoughts that one thinks,
Rose up all at once the day I saw you.
கண்ணே இது கனவல்லவே
கனவில் வந்த கதையல்லவே.......
My darling, isn't this a dream?
Isn't this a story that came in a dream?
எண்ணூறு ஆண்டுகளில்
எண்ணுகின்ற எண்ணங்கள்
எழுந்தன ஒரு நாள் உனைப் பார்த்து
In eight hundred years,
The thoughts that one thinks,

காதல் என்னும் உறவும் சுகமும்
கண்ணில் வந்த போது தூக்கம் என்பதேது
தூக்கம் என்பதேது
When the relationship and bliss called love,
Came into the eyes, where is sleep?
Where is sleep?
கோவை என்னும் இதழும் சுவையும்
கொள்ளைக் கொண்ட போது
ஏக்கம் என்பதேது ஏக்கம் என்பதேது
When the red lip like a Kovai fruit and its taste,
Plundered and robbed the heart,
Where is longing? Where is longing?
பங்கு வைத்த பாவையின் அங்கம் உண்டு இங்கே
பாவை உன்னைத் தேடும் ஆசையில் வாடும்
இரவும் பகலும் அறிவோம் அறிவோம்
இளமை முழுதும் பெறுவோம் பெறுவோம்
The body of the maiden who shared a part is right here,
The maiden wilts in desire searching for you.
Male: We shall know day and night, we shall know,
We shall enjoy the fullness of youth, we shall enjoy,
எண்ணூறு ஆண்டுகளில்
எண்ணுகின்ற எண்ணங்கள்
எழுந்தன ஒரு நாள் உனைப் பார்த்து
In eight hundred years,
The thoughts that one thinks,
Rose up all at once the day I saw you.
