எந்தன் அன்பே சொந்தமே நீதான் என்றும்

மன்னவன் எந்தன் நெஞ்சம்
மங்கை நீ வாழும் மஞ்சம்
கண்ணிலே காதல் கொஞ்சும்
கன்னி நான் உந்தன் தஞ்சம்
My heart belongs to my king,
It is the couch where you, my maiden, reside.
Female: Love caresses sweetly in my eyes,
I, a young maiden, am your refuge.
எனது மனம் என்றும் உன்னோடு
வேறு ஒரு பெண்ணை நாடாது
இளமை பொங்கும் கன்னி பூமாது
இன்னொருவர் கையில் சேராது
My heart will always remain with you,
It will never seek another woman.
Female: This maiden, blooming like a flower brimming with youth,
Will never fall into the hands of another.
ஓடும் நதியே உன்னை தொடர்ந்து

Following you like a flowing river,
I am the shadow that accompanies you daily.

வண்ணங்கள் வானில் மாறும்

காலங்கள் மாறும்போதும்
காதலோ நெஞ்சில் வாழும்
Colors in the sky may change,
Life too may change one day,
Male: Even when times change,
Love will forever live in our hearts.
வளரும் பிறை வானில் தேய்ந்தாலும்
அன்பு மனம் என்றும் தேயாது
இமயமது சாய்ந்து வீழ்ந்தாலும்
என்றும் இந்த காதல் சாயாது
Even if the waxing crescent moon wanes in the sky,
A heart filled with love will never diminish.
Male: Even if the great Himalayas crumble and fall,
This love will never bend or crumble.
வாழும் வரைக்கும் நம்மை பிரிக்க
தடை இங்கே இல்லை என்றேன்
உள்ளமது மாறுமோ உன்னை விட்டு போகுமோ
To separate us as long as we live,
I say there is no obstacle here!
Will this heart ever change, or will it ever leave you?
எந்தன் அன்பே சொந்தமே நீதான் என்றும்
எந்தன் அன்பே சொந்தமே நீதான் என்றும்
