இவள் வேர்வை துளிகூட செந்தேனே
I fell in love with a parrot-like maiden
I gave a loving sign at the corner of her eye, haa....aa...
I followed her footsteps, watching her path
Even her sweat drops are like honey to me
இவள் பார்த்து மலர்க்கூட்டம் ஆளானது
இவன் பார்த்து அவள் மேனி பாலானது
Looking at her, the cluster of flowers felt humbled
Looking at him, her body turned as pure as milk
