பாதி நெலவு பாதி
கதிரு சேர்ந்த அழகு பார்வை
என் ராசாத்தி உன் பார்வையே
வாழ உனக்கு காலம் இருக்கு
பாச உறவும் இருக்கு இனி
எந்நாளும் ஆனந்தமே
Half moon and half sun rays,
A beautiful look where both meet,
My princess, your very gaze.
You have a whole lifetime ahead to live,
You have loving bonds to cherish,
From now on, every day is pure happiness.
என் தோளில் நீ
சாஞ்சிடு நிம்மதியா
உனக்கினி குறை
இருக்காது மண்ணோட
நிழல் போலவே நான்
இருப்பேன் நமக்குள்ள
பிரிவிருக்காது
Lean upon my shoulders...
....in complete peace.
You will have no grievances anymore.
Like the shadow attached to the earth,
I will always remain by your side.
There will never be any separation between us.

தகப்பன் இவன் மூலம்
உனக்கு எதிர் காலம் வருமே
விடிவெள்ளியா ...ஆ இறைவா
இது உண்மையா
Innocent and naive,
Just like a tender young fawn,
With a pure white heart,
You came before me.
Through this father figure,
Your future ahead
Will dawn bright like a morning star.
Oh Lord, is this reality?
இரு விழியோட
காணும் கனவாக நீயும்
கலையாத ராசாத்தியே
உன் உறவோடு வாழும்
என் உயிரெங்க போகும்
உனக்காக நான் வாழுறேன்
A dream seen with open eyes,
You are a dream that never fades,
My unfading princess.
Living in this bond with you,
Where else could my soul go?
I live only for your sake.
