Until the day I exist
Until the day I exist
Oh bond that lives in my heart
Oh beloved relation singing a sweet tune
My thoughts will soar up to the sky

Your graceful forms alone are enough for my peace
நீ வாழும் இதயம் முழுதும்
ஏக்கங்கள் இல்லை தூக்கங்கள்
இனி என்னோடு உன் எண்ணம்
ஒன்றாகும் இனியென்ன
Throughout the entire heart where you reside
There are no longings, only restful sleep
From now on, your thoughts and mine
Will become one, so what else matters now?
நான் இருக்கும் அந்த நாள் வரைக்கும்
Until the day I exist
என் வாழ்வின் இன்பம் எல்லாம்

Is the soft color called womanhood
எங்கெங்கோ எனது மனது ஓடட்டும்
இன்பம் பாடட்டும்
இனி ஏதேதோ என் நெஞ்சில்
கூடட்டும் இனியென்ன
Let my mind wander wherever it pleases
Let bliss sing out
From now on, whatever wonderful feelings in my heart
Let them gather, so what else matters now?
