வெள்ளித் தேரில் வரும் நீ
முல்லைப் பூவின் சரம் நான்

I am a garland of jasmine flowers
The bliss of taking in arms
Will it not become a new beginning?

Won't the loving heart sing a song?
Until you give your address
Do you need a tax on happiness?

நான் உந்தன் வஞ்சிக் கொடி
நீ கொஞ்சம் காலம் பொறு

Giving a bed inside the heart
I am your tender, creeper-like beloved
Wait for a little while
All your desires will be fulfilled
அந்தி இரவோடு

கண்டு நின்றால்
மோகம் கூடாதோ
புதுமைகள் பழகிடும்

With the evening night
In the intimate moments
If we stand witnessing it
Won't passion intensify?
Getting accustomed to novelties
