வான் நிலாவே வான் நிலாவே
வாழ்வில் வந்தது ஆனந்த காட்சி
கால காலம் காதல் வாழும்
நீல வான் மதி நீ இதன் சாட்சி
Oh moon in the sky, oh moon in the sky!
A scene of joyful bliss has arrived in life.
Love will live forever across time.
Oh moon of the blue sky, you are the witness to this.
மகாலட்சுமியின் மனை தேடியே
குடியேறினால் கலைவானியே
இந்த வீட்டினில் இருவரும்
ஒன்றாகும் திருநாள்தான் இது
Seeking the home of Goddess Mahalakshmi,
Goddess Kalaivani has come to reside.
In this house, for both of them,
Today is the sacred day of becoming one.
மகாலட்சுமியின் மனை தேடியே
குடியேறினால் கலைவானியே
Seeking the home of Goddess Mahalakshmi,
Goddess Kalaivani has come to reside.
வான் நிலாவே வான் நிலாவே

உயிரினை உனக்கொரு உயிலென நான்
வரைந்தேனே வைரமணி
எனக்கென எது இங்கு கிடையாது
எல்லாமே நீ இனி
I wrote my very life as a will for you,
I have drawn it, my precious diamond gem.
Nothing here belongs to me anymore,
Everything is you from now on.
ஒருவரில் ஒருவர் கலந்த பின்னே
இனி இங்கே இரண்டு இல்லையே
நிழல் என இருட்டிலும் வருவேனே
நீ வாழும் எல்லையே
Once we have merged into one another,
There are no longer two separate entities here.
Even in darkness, I will come like a shadow,
Wherever your realm of living extends.
எனை தந்து நான் உனை வாங்கினேன்
உன்னை வாங்கி என் மடி தாங்கினேன்
தினம் மாலையிலே பூ மாலையை போல்
நான் உன் மார்பிலே
I gave myself and acquired you,
Having embraced you, I cradled you in my lap.
Every evening, like a garland of flowers,
I lie upon your chest.
வான் நிலாவே வான் நிலாவே
வாழ்வில் வந்தது ஆனந்த காட்சி
கால காலம் காதல் வாழும்

மகாலட்சுமியின் மனை தேடியே
ஓஓ.......குடியேறினால் கலைவானியே
Seeking the home of Goddess Mahalakshmi,
Female: Ooo... Goddess Kalaivani has come to reside.
ஒருமுறை இருவரும் உரசிடவே
உருவாகும் தீப்பொறியே
தலை முதல் கால் வரை தவித்தாயே
தாங்காது பூவையே
When two souls rub together just once,
A spark of fire is born.
From head to toe you have yearned,
The flower-like maiden cannot bear it.
சிறு சிறு சிறு சிறு மலர்களிலே
பனி தூங்கும் நேரமிது
சிலு சிலு சிலு சிலு காதற்று வந்து
சிந்தொன்று பாடுது
On the small, delicate flowers,
It is the hour when dew drops sleep.
A gentle, cool breeze blows near,
Singing a sweet melody.
மனம் எங்கிலும் மழை தூறல்கள்
நினைவெங்கிலும் மழை சாரல்கள்
சற்று சாய்ந்திருக்க நீ பாய் போடு
உன் பூ கூந்தலில்
Drizzles of rain in the mind everywhere,
Sprinkles of rain in thoughts everywhere.
Male: Spread a mat made of your flower-adorned hair,
For me to lean back for a moment.
வான் நிலாவே வான் நிலாவே
