: புதிய நிலாவின் உதயம்
சிறகினை விரித்தது இதயம்
விழியின் இமையில் நடனம்
அதிலும் புதுமை நளினம்
The rising of a new moon
My heart spread its wings
A dance upon the eyelids of the eyes
And in it, a novel gracefulness
வாசங் கொண்ட பூவு ஒன்னு
ஆடுதய்யா தாகமின்னு
A fragrant flower
Dances, saying it is thirsty
புதிய நிலாவின் உதயம்
சிறகினை விரித்தது இதயம்
விழியின் இமையில் நடனம்
அதிலும் புதுமை நளினம்
The rising of a new moon
My heart spread its wings
A dance upon the eyelids of the eyes
And in it, a novel gracefulness

தன்னில் கோடி ராகம் கண்ணில் பாடியது
அது பின்னிய காதல் மாலை மன்னனை தேடியது
பூத்த மலரில் வேர்த்த நினைவை
காத்து நினைத்தால் சேர்த்து அணைத்தால்
இளைய மனம் இனிமைகளை சுவைக்கலாமே
Ten million melodies sang within the eyes
The woven garland of love searched for its king
The sweat-drenched memory upon a blooming flower
If cherished in thought and embraced close
The youthful mind can relish sweet moments
வாசங் கொண்ட பூவு ஒன்னு
ஆடுதய்யா தாகமின்னு

விண்ணில் ஓடிய மேகம் ஒரு ஜாடை செய்கிறது
வண்ணப் பூக்களை மூட பனி ஆடை நெய்கிறது
மூடி இருக்கும் சிப்பிக்குள்ள முத்து இருந்தால் லாபமில்ல
பயந்தாலும் மறந்தாலும் பருவம் வருமோ
The cloud running in the sky makes a subtle gesture
A garment of mist is woven to drape the colorful flowers
There is no gain if a pearl remains hidden inside a closed shell
Will youth return if you hesitate or forget?
