Vatta nilavae
Etti etti edhukku paakkura
Kutti nilavae
Kotta kotta muzhichu paakkura
Manmadhanin thaerottam
Idhu malliga poo poraattam
Raavelaam thookkam pochu
Unna thodalaamaa
Vatta nilavae
Etti etti edhukku paakkura
Kutti nilavae
Kotta kotta muzhichu paakkura

O round moon,
why do you keep peeking?
O little moon,
why do you stare with wide eyes?
It is the chariot ride of the god of love,
it is a battle of sweet jasmines!
Sleep has vanished all night long,
may I touch you?
O round moon,
why do you keep peeking?
O little moon,
why do you stare with wide eyes?
Janakku janakku jam jam,
Janakku janakku jam jam,
Janakku janakku jam jam,
Aha, janakku janakku thakka jana,
Janakku janakku jam jam,
Janakku janakku jam jam,
Janakku janakku jam jam,
Aha, janakku janakku thakka jam!
The wild chilly wind blows,
embracing this young girl in its arms.
This tender heart, my man,
ah, should it be left to ache?
I heard the singing cuckoo's tune,
and saw my sweet parrot on the bed!
May I hold you close?
May I touch and embrace you?
Sounds are stirring in the village,
why the rush so soon?
The heart within me refuses to listen,
give me just one kiss on the cheek!
There is a right day for that,
my dear, I am your girl after all,
ask me only after that!
O round moon,
why do you keep peeking?
O little moon,
why do you stare with wide eyes?
It is the chariot ride of the god of love,
it is a battle of sweet jasmines!
Sleep has vanished all night long,
may I touch you... hey!
O round moon,
why do you keep peeking?
O little moon,
why do you stare with wide eyes?
Look at the twinkling moon,
ask it about love.
The longing that tortures my heart,
even the moon will tell you of that desire.
Ask the flowers in my hair,
ask the rice boiling on the stove,
this innocent girl's heart,
my dear, will tell you truly!
Just like the scent of sandalwood,
memories spread across my heart.
Whenever I look
at a sturdy teak tree,
I remember embracing your strong body.
O night, O night, do not break into dawn!
O moon, O moon, do not go away!
Just close your eyes!
O round moon,
Ha ha!
Why do you keep peeking?
Ha ha!
O little moon,
Ha ha!
Why do you stare with wide eyes?
Ha ha!
It is the chariot ride of the god of love,
it is a battle of sweet jasmines!
Sleep has vanished all night long,
may I touch you?
O round moon,
Ha ha!
Why do you keep peeking?
Ha ha!
O little moon,
Ha ha!
Why do you stare with wide eyes?
Ha ha!
