Oh moon, oh moon, oh moon, oh moon,
Wait, stay a moment, and with your sweet lips,
Speak... speak to me.
Oh flower, oh flower, oh flower, oh flower,
Tell me, tell me your heart in Tamil,
Speak... speak to me.
The silent language your eyes speak,
I do not have the wisdom to understand.
Open the latch of your golden, rosy lips,
Speak, speak, speak... speak to me.
For a little bud on a vine to blossom,
It does not submit an appeal to the vine.
When fruits ripen, to call the birds,
The trees do not send any telegram.
To express a woman's heart as deeply as silence does,
Human language simply lacks the power.
Away with words, go, go, go...
Come to me, beauty, come, come, come!
Away with words, go, go, go...
Come to me, beauty, come, come, come!
Oh Rathi (goddess of beauty), oh Rathi, oh Rathi, oh Rathi,
In the sweet words of love,
If only you speak... if you speak,
Oh growing crescent moon, crescent moon,
Reaching up and touching the sky,
I can do it... yes, I can.
If you just utter one word shaped on your lips,
I will borrow the wind and fly away,
I will dissolve into the vastness of time!
Speak, speak, speak... speak to me.
We have heard the bees buzzing about,
Have you ever seen flowers making noise?
Rivers may rush and deliver loud speeches,
Do they ever disturb the silence of the riverbanks?
Spoken words will eventually run out,
Will unspoken love ever end?
Away with words, go, go, go...
Come to me, beauty, come, come, come!
Away with words, go, go, go...
Come to me, beauty, come, come, come!
Oh heart, oh heart, oh heart, oh heart,
Even as I plead, why this silence,
Why... oh why?
Oh dream, oh dream, oh dream, oh dream,
So my tears dry and the spark of life,
Glows in my eyes... glows bright,
If your words—if your voice comes to a halt,
My life—my whole life will freeze in place,
My soul will tear away from my body and leave!
Speak, speak, speak... speak to me.
If you only understood the language hearts speak,
There would be no need to lose your life.
What a pair of eyes can convey,
Two hundred languages cannot say.
To openly speak the love they hold inside,
The women of Tamil land do not dare.
Away with words, go, go, go...
Come to me, beauty, come, come, come!
Away with words, go, go, go...
Come to me, beauty, come, come, come!
