Oh bird of two colors!
In the intoxication of the wedding garland,
It floats and boils, my friend!

நாளை ஒரு ஆணழகன்
தோள் அணைக்கும் வேளைதான்
கோடை மழை தூறல் விழக்
குளிர்ந்து விடும் ஓடைதான்
Tomorrow, a handsome man
Will embrace my shoulders;
Like a gentle summer shower falling,
The stream will become cool and refreshed.
