That dances among the buds
A youthful, colorful little fruit
Plays in the heart
பாடம் இன்று ஆரம்பம் என்று
வாராய் கண்ணே
தேன் கிண்ணம் உண்டு......
Declaring that the lesson begins today
Come, my darling
There is a bowl of honey...

வெள்ளிக் குடம் அள்ளித் தரும்
கொள்ளைச் சுவை எங்கே
வெள்ளிக் குடம் அள்ளித் தரும்
கொள்ளைச் சுவை எங்கே
மேடைகளை ஆடைகளில்
மூடும் ரதம் எங்கே........
Yielded abundantly like a silver pot
Where is that immense sweetness?
Yielded abundantly like a silver pot
Where is that immense sweetness?
On stages wrapped in clothes
Where is that covered chariot?...
