This is springtime, the month of Vaikasi
The petals of fresh flowers spill nectar
A gentle breeze blows here along with mountain mist
The sky above spills a shower of pearl drops
சுக நேரம் அல்லவா
இதை நானும் சொல்லவா
மடி ஊஞ்சல் ஆடவே
மெல்ல வா
Is this not a time of pure bliss?
Shall I express this to you?
To swing on the swing of my lap
Come softly to me
காதல் ரோஜாவே
என்றும் பன்னீரில்
என்னை நீராட்டு ஓ......
Oh rose of love, forever in rosewater
Bathe me gently, oh...
