கள்ளும் உண்டு அள்ளிக் கொள்ளுங்கள்
Across the cheeks of the king's rose,
My marks of love shimmer brightly.

Diamond fish and a swing on the moon,
A sky made of rubies,

மின்னும் எந்தன் காதல் சின்னங்கள்
Ah... did the god of love shoot arrows
From his bow made of sugarcane?
Did the god of time look at us
And compose a beautiful poem?
வைர மீன்கள் திங்கள் ஊஞ்சல்
வானம் மாணிக்கம்
பச்சை மஞ்சள் நீலப் பூக்கள்
காதல் காணிக்கை

There are sweet treasures too, gather them in your arms.
ஹா காமதேவன் கரும்பு வில்லில்

Climbing the mountain and jumping into the river,
Can we not swim together? Oh oh...
In a state of self-forgetfulness, can two parrots
Not attain peace together?

Ohhh oh...
Inside the temple bell, slowly and gently,
Won't a sweet sound be born?
As summer ends and the rain falls,
Won't the earth get drenched? Ooooohhh ohhhh
