பொண்ணு
She was sculpted by pouring pure beauty,
With eyes like sparkling hail,
A girl looking at her beloved...

கை கோத்து நீ இனி
என் மூச்சு காத்து
Come girl, clasp my hand,
From now on, you are my breath of air.

Is now a fragrant breeze.

My shyness stretches longer.
தூரிகை அதன்
தூறலாய் உந்தன் காதலோ
விழுகிறதே மாறினேன் நிறம்

Adding vibrant colors to the forest of my thoughts,
Oh flower!
Rising into my sky and beaming into my eyes,
Oh dawn!

காட்டில் வண்ணம்
கூட்டும் மலரே என்
விண்ணில் ஏறி கண்ணில்
பாயும் புலரே
For the rest of my life,
You are the main title.
