| Maaya mazhalai megam | Magical child-like cloud |
| Madi saaya karaiyum dhegam | A body that melts upon leaning on a lap |
| Kaalam thanakaaga varaiyaadha varamoo | Is it a boon that time never drew for itself? |
| Kaatril oru thoghai mayil aagumoo | Will it become a peacock with unfurled feathers in the wind? |
| Aadum maaya mazhalai megam | Dancing magical child-like cloud |
| Madi saaya karaiyum dhegam | A body that melts upon leaning on a lap |
| Male | |
| Yaar pizhaigalo vizhigal kaanadha | Whose mistakes are these that unseen eyes cannot behold? |
| Niraiyin magalo oviya kuviyalo | Is she the daughter of perfection or a collection of exquisite art? |
| Kaatraliyil ilaigalo kilindhu veezhaamal | Without tearing and falling like leaves in a windstorm |
| Anaithu pidikkum siriya kilaiyin | A small branch holding them tightly |
| Thaayanbai polae mannil edhuvum illai | There is nothing on earth equal to a mother's love |
| Per anbin veliyil yaarum dhooram illai | In the vast expanse of deep love, no one remains distant |
| Kaayathin kaalgal endrum thodarvadhillai | The footsteps of pain never continue endlessly |
| Nyaayathin kanakkil yaarum oram illai | In the realm of justice, no one is marginalized |
| Yaarodu yaar kaappaattrudhe | Who is protecting whom? |
| Ivalin idhayam | Her heart |

| Kann urangumaa karaiyai saeraamal | Will eyes ever sleep without reaching the shore? |
| Kanavai thodumaa maamazhai pozhiyumaa | Will it touch the dream, will the heavy rain pour? |
| Vaan thiraiyil vidiyumaa viyarvai veezhndhaalum | Will dawn break on the canvas of the sky? Even if sweat falls |
| Mulaikkum chediyin ariya malarin | Of a rare flower blooming from a sprouting plant |
| Vaasangal kollai inbam koduthu veikkum | Its fragrances bestow abundant joy |
| Vaanathu nirangal kaatril paalam veikkum | The colors of the sky construct a bridge in the air |
| Pasathil nenjam konjam parithavikkum | The heart yearns delicately in deep affection |
| Orathu vizhiyil eeram thooral veikkum | Moisture sprinkles a gentle drizzle at the corner of the eyes |

மாய மழலை மேகம்
மடி சாய கரையும் தேகம்
காலம் தனக்காக வரையாத வரமோ
காற்றில் ஒரு தோகை மயில் ஆகுமோ
ஆடும் மாய மழலை மேகம்
மடி சாய கரையும் தேகம்
Magical child-like cloud
A body that melts upon leaning on a lap
Is it a boon that time never drew for itself?
Will it become a peacock with unfurled feathers in the wind?
Dancing magical child-like cloud
A body that melts upon leaning on a lap
யார் பிழைகளோ விழிகள் காணாத
நிறையின் மகளோ ஓவிய குவியலோ
காற்றலையில் இலைகளோ கிழிந்து வீழாமல்
அணைத்து பிடிக்கும் சிறிய கிளையின்
தாயன்பை போலே மண்ணில் எதுவும் இல்லை
பேர் அன்பின் வெளியில் யாரும் தூரம் இல்லை
காயத்தின் கால்கள் என்றும் தொடங்கவில்லை
நியாயத்தின் கணக்கில் யாரும் ஓரம் இல்லை
யாரோடு யார் காப்பாற்றுதே
இவளின் இதயம்
Whose mistakes are these that unseen eyes cannot behold?
Is she the daughter of perfection or a collection of exquisite art?
Without tearing and falling like leaves in a windstorm
A small branch holding them tightly
There is nothing on earth equal to a mother's love
In the vast expanse of deep love, no one remains distant
The footsteps of pain never continue endlessly
In the realm of justice, no one is marginalized
Who is protecting whom?
Her heart
கண் உறங்குமா கரையை சேராமல்
கனவை தொடுமா மாமழை பொழியுமா
வான் திரையில் விடியுமா வியர்வை வீழ்ந்தாலும்
முளைக்கும் செடியின் அறிய மலரின்
வாசங்கள் கொல்லை இன்பம் கொடுத்து வைக்கும்
வானத்து நிறங்கள் காற்றில் பாலம் வைக்கும்
பாசத்தில் நெஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் பரிதவிக்கும்
ஓரத்து விழியில் ஈரம் தூறல் வைக்கும்
யாரோடு யார் காப்பாற்றுதே
இவளின் இதயம்
Will eyes ever sleep without reaching the shore?
Will it touch the dream, will the heavy rain pour?
Will dawn break on the canvas of the sky? Even if sweat falls
Of a rare flower blooming from a sprouting plant
Its fragrances bestow abundant joy
The colors of the sky construct a bridge in the air
The heart yearns delicately in deep affection
Moisture sprinkles a gentle drizzle at the corner of the eyes
Who is protecting whom?
Her heart
மாய மழலை மேகம்

காலம் தனக்காக வரையாத வரமோ
காற்றில் ஒரு தோகை மயில் ஆகுமோ
