Vanthiduvaar avar en manam polae

Vaanukku azhakoottum vennilaa polae…ye

He will come, just as my heart desires,
And bring happiness into my life.
Floating down through the open skies,
Floating down through the open skies,
He is going to fill my heart with joy!
He will come, just as my heart desires,
And bring happiness into my life.
Like rain arriving for a withering crop,
Like the bright moon that graces the sky,
Like a cool tree giving shade in the summer heat,
My noble lord will come seeking me at this very hour,
He will come, just as my heart desires,
And bring happiness into my life.
He will come, just as my heart desires,
And bring happiness into my life.
Showing the desires of his heart through his dark eyes,
Driving away the worries that burn my heart with love,
Becoming one with me to reveal the heights of bliss,
Speaking sweet words to spark pure delight,
He will come, just as my heart desires,
And bring happiness into my life.
He will come, just as my heart desires,
And bring happiness into my life.
