Ival yaaro
Vaan vittu man vandhu neendhum nilavo
Enna paero
Vaai vittu thaen sindha paadum kuyilo
Naetralla indralla naalai alla
Endrendrum vaazhum kaadhal
Nee solla naan solla naalum solla
Nenjukkul oorum paadal
Adadaa adhil naan marandhen ennai

Ival yaaro
Who is she?
Is she the moon that left the sky to float upon the earth?
What is her name?
Is she a cuckoo singing and spilling honey?
Not yesterday, not today, not tomorrow,
love lives forever.
As you say it, as I say it, as every day repeats it,
it is a song welling up within the heart.
Oh, in it, I completely forgot myself!
Who is she?
Is she the moon that left the sky to float upon the earth?
Who is she?
"A life of love is just a mirage,"
so I said yesterday.
"Love is truly divine," so I praise it today.
Morning and evening, thinking of you,
my heart withered with longing.
I blessed this day when my desires came true.
My darling, my pure gold,
Hmm mmm...
I came following right behind you.
My beloved, shining like a precious gem,
I called out your name every day.
I saw you and my heart melted with love.
Who is she?
Is she the moon that left the sky to float upon the earth?
What is her name?
Is she a cuckoo singing and spilling honey?
Not yesterday, not today, not tomorrow,
love lives forever.
As you say it, as I say it, as every day repeats it,
it is a song welling up within the heart.
Oh, in it, I completely forgot myself!
Who is she?
Is she the moon that left the sky to float upon the earth?
My lord, your chariot
has arrived at my doorstep.
It swept up your goddess in its embrace and made her yours.
When the right time came together,
our love won over everything.
My love, your graceful image stays forever in my heart.
This happiness, this joy across many more lifetimes,
will overflow from sweet honeyed lips,
and in it, I lost myself.
Who is she?
Is she the moon that left the sky to float upon the earth?
What is her name?
Is she a cuckoo singing and spilling honey?
Not yesterday, not today, not tomorrow,
love lives forever.
As you say it, as I say it, as every day repeats it,
it is a song welling up within the heart.
Oh, in it, I completely forgot myself!
Who is she?
Is she the moon that left the sky to float upon the earth?
Who is she?
