யாவும் அழகே
I am beautiful in you, you are beautiful in me; because of us, everything is beautiful.
ஹோ கண்ணதாசன்
பாடல்வரி போல கொண்ட
காதல் வாழும் நிலையாக
Oh, like a song lyric written by Kannadasan,
May the love we hold endure permanently.
கம்பன் பாடிப்
போன தமிழ்ப் போல
இந்த நாளும் வேகம்

Like the Tamil sang by Kamban, may these days progress smoothly and well.
மழை நீயாக
வெயில் நானாக
வெள்ளாமை நீ ஆஆ
With you as rain and me as sunlight, you are the sweet harvest.
