நேரம்தான் ஆகுது
வா மாமா ஊருக்குள்ள
ஊரும்தான் உறங்குது
வா மாமா யாரும் இல்ல
புது ரோசா வாடுதுங்க
சுதி லேசா ஏறுதுங்க
என் பூ விழியும் மூடவில்ல
ராத்திரிய கேளுங்க
Time is getting late
Come, my beloved, into the village

எச்சில் பண்ணக் கூடாதா
மால மாத்தி நாளும் ஆச்சு
மாமன் மனசும் நோகாதா
சொம்புப் பாலும் ஆறிப் போகும்
எச்சில் பண்ணக் கூடாதா
