Poraalae poraalaeShe is leaving, she is leaving
Sontha mannai vittu poraalaeLeaving her native land behind, she is leaving
Thaaraalae thaaraalae thaanamaagaShe gives, she gives, as a generous gift
Alli thaaraalaeShe gives abundantly with open hands
Iva manasula valiyum illaThere is no pain in her heart
Kannula thuliyumillaThere is not even a drop of tear in her eyes
Vayaso rompa sirusuHer age is very young
Manaso rompa perusuHer heart is very big
Poraalae poraalae poraalaeShe is leaving, she is leaving, she is leaving
