Mellena sirippaalo
Jillena muraipaalo
En kannai imai thindrathe

Will she smile softly?
Or will she glare coldly?
My eyelids keep fluttering over my eyes.
Did she fall into my eyes?
Did she sprout inside a stone?
My own heart has conquered me.
The wings called love,
Will she give them just to me?
To fly beyond the skies,
Will she come along as my companion? Oh...
Hey, will she smile softly?
Or will she glare coldly?
My eyelids keep fluttering over my eyes.
Sister, that guy's gaze doesn't look right...
Tell him to just tie the three wedding knots, sister...
Why, oh tell me why, girl,
Did you gently break my heart?
Like a fire, like a flame,
You leaped straight into my soul.
If the one who made you for me appears,
I will thank him a thousand times.
Without any weapons, you waged a war,
And conquered me in half a second.
So beautifully, because of her,
I have completely lost myself.
Will she smile softly?
Or will she glare coldly?
My eyelids keep fluttering over my eyes.
Did she fall into my eyes?
Did she sprout inside a stone?
My own heart has conquered me.
