ஜூலை மாதம்
வந்தால் ஜோடி சேரும்
வயசு மாலை நேரம்
வந்தால் பாட்டு பாடும்
மனசு அச்சம் நாணம்
என்பது ஹைதர் கால
பழசு முத்து முத்தம்
போடவா ரத்தம் புத்தம்
புதுசு
When July month arrives
It is the age to pair up
When evening time arrives
The heart sings a song
Fear and shyness
Are old things from Hyder Ali's era
Shall I give a pearl-like kiss?

வெட்ட வெளியில்
போவோமா அடி சிட்டு
குருவியின் சிறகை கேள்
நட்ட நடு நிசி நேரத்தில்
நாம் சற்றே உறங்கிட
நிலவை கேள்
Shall we go out into the wide open spaces?
Hey, go ask the sparrow's wings
At the dead of midnight
Ask the moon for us to rest a little
காடு மலைகள்
தேசங்கள் காண்போமா
காற்றை கேள் வீடு
வேண்டாம் கூடு ஒன்று
வேண்டாமா காட்டை கேள்
Forests, mountains, and lands
Shall we see them? Ask the wind
We do not need a house, but a nest
Do we not need it? Ask the forest trees
காதல் என்று
சொன்னதும் காற்றும்
கைகள் தட்டும் காதல்
என்னும் வார்த்தை தான்

The moment love is declared
Even the wind will clap its hands
The word named love
Is a universal law
