வாழைத்தண்டொன்று
கால் கொண்டு வளைந்தாடுது
வண்ணப் பொன் வண்டு
பூச்செண்டில் இசைப்பாடுது
A banana stem
Has gained legs and sways gently
A colorful golden beetle
Sings music on a bouquet of flowers
There is a silver night and a moon to bond intimately
Once time passes, it won't return for you to play
வாழைத்தண்டொன்று
கால் கொண்டு வளைந்தாடுது
வண்ணப் பொன் வண்டு
பூச்செண்டில் இசைப்பாடுது
வெள்ளி இரவுண்டு நிலவுண்டு உறவாட
வேளை போனால் வராது நீ விளையாட....
