இனியவளே
உனது இரு விழி முன்
பழரச குவளையில்
விழுந்த எறும்பின் நிலை
எனது நிலை
விலக விருப்பம் இல்லையே பூவே
O sweet one,
In front of your two eyes,
In a bowl of fruit juice,
Like an ant that has fallen,
Such is my state.
I have no desire to leave, my flower.
அதிசயனே
பிறந்து பல வருடம்
அறிந்தவை மறந்தது
எனது நினைவில் இன்று
உனது முகம்
தவிர எதுவும் இல்லையே அன்பே
O miraculous man,
Though many years have passed since birth,
I forgot everything I ever knew;
In my memory today,
Your face,
Nothing else exists, my love.
வேறாரும் வாழாத
பெரு வாழ்விது
நினைத்தாலே மனம் எங்கும்
மழை தூவுது
A grand life that no one else
Has ever lived, this is...
Just thinking of it, throughout my heart,
Rain begins to shower.
மழலையின் வாசம் போதுமே
தரையினில் வானம் மோதுமே
ஒரு கணமே உன்னை பிரிந்தால்
உயிர் மலர் காற்று போகுமே
The fragrance of our child's innocence is enough,
Heaven on earth is enough.
If I am separated from you for even a moment,
My life flower will blow away in the wind.

Through lyrical declarations, both partners express that their love transcends mundane existence, extending even beyond death (Mann adiyilum un arugilae). The joy of parenthood and the bliss of family life are celebrated as a heaven on earth.
