When the mast bends low
A boat tossed in a raging storm
பாய்மரம் கீழே சாய்ந்திடும் வேளை
பெருங்காற்றில் அலைமோதும் ஓடம்
அக்கரை சேர அக்கறை காட்டும்
அன்பே உன் பொன் போன்ற உள்ளம்
To reach the other shore, shows deep care
Oh beloved, such is your golden heart
Coming close to the coconut tree
When the gentle southern breeze caresses
பாய்மரம் கீழே சாய்ந்திடும் வேளை
பெருங்காற்றில் அலைமோதும் ஓடம்
அக்கரை சேர அக்கறை காட்டும்
அன்பே உன் பொன் போன்ற உள்ளம்
The sweet joy that is felt
What would the coconut tree say about it?
Coming close to the coconut tree
When the gentle southern breeze caresses
தென்னைக்கு பக்கம் வந்து
தென்றல் கொஞ்சும் நேரம்
தென்பட்ட இன்பம் தன்னை
தென்னை என்ன கூறும்.....
The sweet joy that is felt
What would the coconut tree say about it?
I will forget all the tears...
I will float happily in this golden era
தென்னைக்கு பக்கம் வந்து
தென்றல் கொஞ்சும் நேரம்
தென்பட்ட இன்பம் தன்னை
தென்னை என்ன கூறும்.....
