Every single day,
The house glitters with light!
Like a glowing lamp,
கவலை நாள்
ஏழும் ஏழு கை வந்து
கண்ண துடைக்குதே
போதுமா
Whenever sorrow arises,
A gentle hand comes and wipes
The tears from my eyes, isn't that enough?
மனசுல
ஒட்டுவோம் மாலையா

We will hold her close in our hearts,
We will weave her into a garland,
தேவதை
வீட்டுல தேன்மழை
கொட்டுவோம்
In the home of an angel,
We will shower a rain of sweet honey.
