I saw the circular pits of a Pallanguzhi board in a single coin.
I saw the finger holes of a flute in a single coin.
I saw the pupil in fluttering eyes.
I saw time ticking in a clock.
பல்லாங்குழியின்
வட்டம் பார்த்தேன் ஒற்றை
நாணயம் புல்லாங்குழலின்
துளைகள் பார்த்தேன் ஒற்றை
நாணயம் துடிக்கும் கண்களில்
கண்மணி பார்த்தேன் கடிகாரத்தில்
நேரம் பார்த்தேன்
I saw the center of a chrysanthemum flower.
I saw the wheel on the national flag.
I saw the full moon on a night.
A single coin.
செவ்வந்தி பூவில்
நடுவில் பார்த்தேன் தேசிய
கொடியில் சக்கரம் பார்த்தேன்
இரவில் ஒருநாள் பௌர்ணமி
பார்த்தேன் ஒற்றை நாணயம்
I saw the circular pits of a Pallanguzhi board in a single coin.
I saw the finger holes of a flute in a single coin.

Hey girl, I will wait for an eternity.
I will bloom wherever your eyes look.
Hey, both sides of this one-rupee coin...
...hold my love bound together.
Hold it close to your heart and cherish it.

அடி காலம்
முழுவதும் காத்திருப்பேன்
நீ காணும் இடத்தினில்
பூத்திருப்பேன் அடி ஒற்றை
ரூபாய் பக்கம் இரண்டும்
எந்தன் அன்பு சேர்ந்திருக்கும்
நெஞ்சில் வைத்து காத்திரு
I saw the circular pits of a Pallanguzhi board in a single coin.
தங்க ஆபரணம்
ஒன்றும் தேவையில்லை
இந்த நாணயம் போதாதா
தழுவும் மனதை குங்கும
சிமிழில் தடுக்க முடியாதா
I saw the finger holes of a flute in a single coin.
செல்வ சீதனமே
நீ சிரிக்கையிலே பல
சில்லரை சிதறிவிடும்
செலவு செய்ய நினைத்தால்
கூட இதயம் பதறிவிடும்
Hey, was what happened yesterday a play?
Was you giving me money a subtle hint?
Hey, both sides of this one-rupee coin...
...what did you give it to tell me?
I keep looking at it and counting again and again.

அட நேற்று நடந்தது
நாடகமா நீ காசு கொடுத்தது
சூசகமா அட ஒற்றை ரூபாய்
பக்கம் இரண்டு என்ன சொல்ல
காசு தந்தாய் எண்ணி எண்ணி
பார்க்கிறேன்
I saw the pupil in fluttering eyes.
அடி பேரழகே
உன்னை சேர்ந்திடவே
இந்த நாணயம் ஓர் சாட்சி
இருக்கும் உயிரும் உனக்கே
உபயம் எதற்கு ஆராய்ச்சி
I saw time ticking in a clock.
இந்த நாணயத்தில்
உன்னை பார்த்திருப்பேன்
பிறர் பார்க்கவும் விட மாட்டேன்
கடவுள் வந்து கேட்டால் கூட
காணிக்கை இட மாட்டேன்
I saw the center of a chrysanthemum flower.
I saw the wheel on the national flag.
