| Pilla periyaala ninna | The child grew up into a young woman |
| Kolla nilavaagi pona | She became as beautiful as the full moon |
| Kalli kalyaana ponna | The mischievous girl became a bride |
| Malli thala soodi ninna | Standing with jasmine flowers adorned in her hair |
| Ammi ava mithikkum pothe | As she steps on the grinding stone in marriage |

The child grew up into a young woman
She became as beautiful as the full moon
The mischievous girl became a bride
Standing with jasmine flowers adorned in her hair
As she steps on the grinding stone in marriage
She gives a hundred meanings to life
Nothing else matters now
