உன்னை நானும் என்னை
நீயும் உணர்ந்த பின்னாலே
உன்னைத் தொட்டு ஆடி மகிழ
தடைகள் சொல்லாதே
After I have understood you,
And you have understood me,
To touch you, dance, and rejoice,
Do not put up obstacles.
மனதில் மனது சேர்ந்த போதும்
மாலை வேண்டாமா
மாலை ஒன்று போட்ட பின்னால்
மடியில் விழலாமே
Even when minds have united,
Isn't a garland needed?
Only after putting on the wedding garland,
Can one fall into the lap.

காத்துக் கிடப்பதில் என்ன லாபம்
New dreams of youth's season,
What is the point in keeping them waiting?

இந்த அழகும் பருவ சுகமும்
நிலைத்து நிற்காது
நெஞ்சில் வளரும் உண்மை அன்பு
என்றும் மாறாது
This beauty and youthful joy,
Will not last forever.
True love growing in the heart,
Will never change.
அந்த உண்மை அறியும் உள்ளம்
எனக்கு கிடையாதா
அதுவும் வேண்டும் இதுவும் வேண்டும்
உனக்கு தெரியாதா
அதுவும் புரியுது இதுவும் தெரியுது
காலம் கனியட்டும் அள்ளித்தருவேன்
A heart that understands that truth,
Do I not possess it?
You want both this and that,
Don't you know that?
Female: I understand that and I know this,
Let time ripen, and I will give you everything amply.
