Vellinilavae thondri maraindhaai
Pennin siripil oliyai izhandhu thavithaai
Idhu kaadhalaa..
Idhu maayamaa..
Koondhal nadhiyil nanaindhen
Kulirndhu ponen
Pennae Uunn anbil muzhudhaai
Tholaindhu ponen
Vellinilavae thondri maraindhaai
Pennin siripil oliyai izhandhu thavithaai
Vellai nira pookal punnagayil pennae
Nillaamal malarndhaayadi
Poonkaatru veesum vaasam needhaanadi
Choo mandhiram seidhenai thaaki nee
Unn meedhu kaadhal konden
Mudhal paarvayil
Unn kannil palamurai vizhundhezhundhen
Ariyaamalae..theriyaamalae
Vellinilavae thondri maraindhaai
Pon veyil oorvalam veitha vidikaalayil
Kangal viritha senthaamarai
Manjal nira kavidhai endru unai kooravaa
Nenjam thulaitha maaran anbae
Kadarkarayil manal ena naanum

Unn kaadhal alaigalil kalandhunnil naan
Uyir vaazhuven..

Pennin siripil oliyai izhandhu thavithaai
O silver moon, you appeared and faded away,
Losing your light to a girl's smile, you struggled.
Is this love?
Is this magic?
I got drenched in the river of your hair,
And felt a chill run through me.
Girl, in your love,
I was completely lost.
O silver moon, you appeared and faded away,
Losing your light to a girl's smile, you struggled.
With a smile like white flowers, girl,
You bloomed on and on.
You are the sweet scent in the gentle breeze.
You cast a magic spell over me,
And I fell in love with you
At first sight.
I fell and rose in your eyes so many times,
Without even knowing... without realizing.
O silver moon, you appeared and faded away,
In the dawn where golden sunlight walks,
Like a red lotus opening its eyes,
Shall I call you a poem painted in yellow?
O love that pierced my heart like Cupid's arrow,
Like the sand on the seashore,
I lay waiting in quiet devotion.
Blending into your waves of love,
I will live my life...
I will live within you.
O silver moon, you appeared and faded away,
Losing your light to a girl's smile, you struggled.
Is this love?
Is this magic?
I got drenched in the river of your hair,
And felt a chill run through me.
Girl, in your love,
I was completely lost.
O silver moon, you appeared and faded away,
Losing your light to a girl's smile, you struggled.
