செவ்வாழை நீராடுது
செவ்வானம் போல் நாணுது
சில்லென்ற நீரானது ஏனின்று சூடானது
The red banana tree bathes
Blushing like the crimson evening sky
The water that was chilly
Why did it turn warm today?
இந்த பிறவி போதாது பிரியக்கூடாது
தொடரும் கதையல்லாவா
This lifetime is not enough
We shouldn't ever part ways
Isn't this a continuing story?
இது என்ன முதலிரவா அம்மாடி
இளமைக்கு புது வரவா...

விழி மூடும் இமையானது
வழி பார்க்க தடையானது
இதழ் சேர துணையானது
இளமைக்கு வினையானது
The eyelid that closes the eye
Became an obstacle to gazing
Became a support in uniting lips
Became a thrilling act for youth
Male: This youth will not sleep
It cannot bear any longer, isn't youthful passion a burden?
இந்த இமைகள் தூங்காது
இனியும் தாங்காது பருவம் சுமையல்லவா
Is this a first night, oh my?
Is it a new arrival for youthfulness?
