புது நாடகத்தில் ஒரு நாயகி

அகப்பட்டுக் கொண்டாள் மேடையிலே
அந்தோ பரிதாபம்

She got caught on the stage,
Alas, what a pity!

The role she played has dissolved, my lady,
My humble sympathy!
The role she played has dissolved, my lady,

ஒத்திகையில் தூங்கி விட்டாள்
ஏன் ஏன் தெரியவில்லை
நித்திரையில் யாரை கண்டாள்
அது நான்தான் எவருமில்லை
She fell asleep during rehearsal,
Why, why? I do not know.
Whom did she see in her sleep?
It was me, no one else!

முடிவு சொல்லாமல் ஓடுகிறாய்
நீ பெண்ணா புரியவில்லை

You run away without giving a conclusion,
Are you really a woman? I cannot understand.

வந்த இடம் நல்ல இடம்
வந்தால் தெரிந்து விடும்
அந்த சுகம் என்னவென்று
வாழ்ந்தால் புரிந்து விடும்
The place you arrived at is a good place,
If you come, you will realize it.
What that happiness is,
If you live it, you will understand.
