| Imaikkamal paarthalume salikatha perazhage | Oh great beauty, one who never tires the eyes even when watched without blinking. |
| Nam thuyarangal koodum neram | During times when our sorrows multiply, |
| Pudhu thaaiyena maaruvaale | She transforms into a comforting mother. |
| Male | |
| Aval nadanthu vanthaal | If she walks along, |
| Tharai siragadikkum | The earth itself will sprout wings and fly. |
| Aval viral asaithaal | If she moves her fingers, |
| Pudhu isai pirakkum | A new melody is born. |
| Aval idhazh suzhithal | If her lips curve into a smile, |
| Uyir padapadakkum | The soul flutters with excitement. |
| Indha aan ulagam | This male world |
| Oru padai edukkum | Will march like an army for her. |

இமைக்காமல் பார்த்தாலும் சலிக்காத பேரழகே
நம் துயரங்கள் கூடும் நேரம்
புது தாயென மாறுவாளே
Oh great beauty, one who never tires the eyes even when watched without blinking.
During times when our sorrows multiply,
She transforms into a comforting mother.
அவள் நடந்து வந்தால்
தரை சிறகடிக்கும்
அவள் விறல் அசைத்தால்
புது இசை பிறக்கும்
அவள் இதழ் சுழித்தால்
உயிர் படபடக்கும்
இந்த ஆண் உலகமொரு
படை எடுக்கும்
If she walks along,
The earth itself will sprout wings and fly.
If she moves her fingers,
A new melody is born.
If her lips curve into a smile,
The soul flutters with excitement.
This male world
Will march like an army for her.
இவளை போல இதயம் கொண்ட
ஒருத்தி உலகத்தில் யார்
இந்த பூமி இதுவரை
காணாத அழகிலே
வந்தாலே ஒருத்தியே
நம் பாதை எதிரிலே
Who in this world possesses a heart
Like hers?
In a beauty that this earth
Has never witnessed before,
A single woman has arrived
Right in front of our path.
அவள் விழியில் இடம் பிடிக்க
பூ எல்லாம் அடம் பிடிக்கும்
அவள் எதிரே சிறகடிக்க
நெஞ்சம் துள்ளும்..ஹோ ஓஒ ஹோ
To win a place within her eyes,
All the flowers throw a tantrum.
To spread wings and fly before her,
The heart leaps with excitement... ho oo hoo.
ஒரு வானவில் தாரகை
தரை மேலே
இது மாயாமோ உண்மையா
இங்கு போதே
A rainbow star
Down upon the earth,
Is this an illusion or reality?
An intoxication right here,
அசரடிபாளே
கதற வைப்பாளே
கருணை விழியில் தானே
She will stun and knock you out,
She will make you cry out in awe,
Simply with her eyes filled with mercy.
Imaikkamal paarthalume salikatha perazhage
Oh great beauty, one who never tires the eyes even when watched without blinking.
Nam thuyarangal koodum neram
During times when our sorrows multiply,
Pudhu thaaiyena maaruvaale
She transforms into a comforting mother.
Aval nadanthu vanthaal
If she walks along,
Tharai siragadikkum
The earth itself will sprout wings and fly.
Aval viral asaithaal
If she moves her fingers,
Pudhu isai pirakkum
A new melody is born.
Aval idhazh suzhithal
If her lips curve into a smile,
Uyir padapadakkum
The soul flutters with excitement.
Indha aan ulagam
This male world
Oru padai edukkum
Will march like an army for her.
Ivalai pola idhayam konda
Who in this world possesses a heart
Oruthi ulagathil yaaru
Like hers?

In a beauty that this earth
Kanatha azhagile

A single woman has arrived
Nam paadhai edhirile
Right in front of our path.
Aval vizhiyil idam pidikka
To win a place within her eyes,
Poo ellam adam pidikkum
All the flowers throw a tantrum.
Aval edhire siragadikka
To spread wings and fly before her,
Nenjam thullum..ho oo hoo
The heart leaps with excitement... ho oo hoo.
Oru vaanavil thaaragai
A rainbow star
Tharai mele
Down upon the earth,
Idhu maayaamo unmaiya
Is this an illusion or reality?
Ingu podhe
An intoxication right here,
Asaradipaale
She will stun and knock you out,
Kathara veippale
She will make you cry out in awe,
Karunai vizhiyil thaane
Simply with her eyes filled with mercy.
