Your soothing glance is like a gentle breeze
Your comforting words are like a lullaby

Your comforting words are like a lullaby, ha
As we wear sandalwood paste and share intimate words
Many great poems will be born, will be born, will be born...
I am the dew, and you are the flower
Let us sing the melody of youth
As sweet kisses meet touching cheeks
Let pure Tamil rhythms flow...
