சொர்க்கம் பக்கத்தில்
நேற்று நினைத்தது
கைகளில் மலர்ந்தது
பெண்ணின் வண்ணத்தில்
Heaven is nearby
What was thought of yesterday
Has bloomed in the hands
In the colors of a woman
பெண்ணின் வண்ணத்தில்
நாளை வருவது இன்றே தெரிந்தது
மின்னும் கன்னங்களில்
In the colors of a woman
What comes tomorrow is known today
In the shining cheeks
லால்ல லலலலா
Laalla lalalala
சிந்தும் முத்தங்களில்
In the spilling kisses
