இரவினில் பனியினில்
இருவரும் விழித்திருப்போம்
ஒருவரின் மடியினில்
ஒருவரை அணைத்திருப்போம்
In the night, amidst the dew,
We both shall stay awake,
In one another's lap,
We shall embrace each other.
நமக்குள் இனி என்ன ரகசியமோ
உலகில் இது என்ன அதிசயமோ
நமக்குள் இனி என்ன ரகசியமோ
உலகில் இது என்ன அதிசயமோ
What secret is left between us now?
What wonder is this in the world?

இலைகளின் மறைவினில்
கனி ஒன்று தெரிந்தால்
கிளிகள் விடுவதில்லை
Behind the cover of leaves,
If a fruit appears,
The parrots will not let it go.
இதயத்தின் நடுவினில்
ஒளி ஒன்று தெரிந்தால்
எண்ணம் விடுவதில்லை
In the middle of the heart,
If a light shines,
Thoughts will not let it go.

ஒளி ஒன்று தெரிந்தால்
எண்ணம் விடுவதில்லை

இரண்டு பக்கம் மின்னிடும் காசு
என்ன வெட்கம் பேசடி பேசு
ம்ம்....இரண்டு பக்கம் மின்னிடும் காசு
என்ன வெட்கம் பேசடி பேசு
A coin shining on both sides,
Male: Why shy away? Speak, my dear, speak!
Female: Mm... a coin shining on both sides,
Male: Why shy away? Speak, my dear, speak!
திரண்டு வரும் கவிதையை வீசு
உறவுக்கு வேலை கொடு
நல் உறவுக்கு வேலை கொடு
Shower the poetry that wells up,
Give purpose to our bond,
Give purpose to our good bond.
