A wondrous moon shines over there,
The sea with surging waves is here,
To quench the heart's deep thirst in life,
When will the day of our union come?
Floating across the wide sky,
Oh bright white moon,
Why did you come in through my window,
Oh bright white moon?
Floating across the wide sky,
Oh bright white moon,
Why did you come in through my window,
Oh bright white moon?
Whenever I look at you,
Oh bright white moon,
Whenever I look at you,
Oh bright white moon,
Why do you shyly hide your face,
Oh bright white moon?
Why do you shyly hide your face,
Oh bright white moon?
Shining your light in broad daylight,
Oh bright white moon,
Just to see you like this,
Isn't it a wondrous thing,
Oh bright white moon?
Shining your light in broad daylight,
Oh bright white moon,
Just to see you like this,
Isn't it a wondrous thing,
Oh bright white moon?
Upon your lovely round face,
Oh bright white moon,
Upon your lovely round face,
Oh bright white moon,
Why are two dark bees flitting about,
Oh bright white moon?
Why are those bees flitting about,
Oh bright white moon?
Floating across the wide sky,
Oh bright white moon,
Why did you come in through my window,
Oh bright white moon?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

In this classic romantic song from Gomathiyin Kaadhalan (1955), the protagonist poeticizes his longing and affection for his beloved by addressing her as the bright full moon ('Vennilaa'). He contrasts the distant moon in the sky with the ocean of his emotions, longing for the day they will finally unite. He playfully compares her face entering his room through the window to the moon itself shining inside, marveling at how her beauty shines even in broad daylight. Through vivid classical metaphors, he envisions her shyly turning away when he looks at her and depicts her darting eyes as two dark beetles hovering over her round, moon-like face.
