வெண்ணிலவே
தரையில் உதித்தாய் ஒரு
சிரிப்பில் இதயம் பறித்தாய்
வெண்ணிலவே தரையில்
உதித்தாய் ஒரு சிரிப்பில்
இதயம் பறித்தாய் நீ எனது
கனவில் வரவே எழாமல்
இருக்கிறேன் உன் சுவாசம்
உயிரை தொடவே விடாமல்
பிடிக்கிறேன்
O silver moon, you descended upon the earth
With a single smile, you stole my heart
O silver moon, you descended upon the earth
With a single smile, you stole my heart
So that you come into my dreams, I stay awake without sleeping
So that your breath touches my soul, I hold onto you tightly
வெண்ணிலவை
விழியில் பிடித்தாய் ஒரு
சிரிப்பில் இதயம் பறித்தாய்
நீ எனது கனவில் வரவே
எழாமல் இருக்கிறேன்
உன் சுவாசம் உயிரை
தொடவே விடமால்
பிடிக்கிறேன்
You captured the silver moon in your eyes
With a single smile, you stole my heart
So that you come into my dreams, I stay awake without sleeping
So that your breath touches my soul, I hold onto you tightly

You are a carefree mystic, O friend, O Lord
You are a dear carefree mystic, O Lord
I have become yours.. I have become yours
I have become yours.. Oh wonderful!
{ அழகே நீ ஓர்
பூகம்பம் தானா அருகே
வந்தால் பூ கம்பம் தானா } (2)
O beauty, are you an earthquake?
When you come close, are you a pillar of flowers?
தீயா நீரா தீராத
மயக்கம் தீயும் நீரும்
பெண்ணுள்ளே இருக்கும்
அணைத்திட எறிந்திடும்
பெண்தேகம் அதிசயம்
Is it fire or water? An endless intoxication
Both fire and water reside within a woman
The marvel of a woman's body that burns even when embraced
வெண்ணிலவே
தரையில் உதித்தாய் ஒரு
சிரிப்பில் இதயம் பறித்தாய்
O silver moon, you descended upon the earth
With a single smile, you stole my heart
ஒருநாள் கண்ணில்
நீ வந்து சேர்ந்தாய் மறுநாள்
என்னை கண்டேனே புதிதாய்
One day you entered my eyes
The next day I found myself anew
விழிகள் மீனா
தூண்டில்கள் என்பேன்
விழுந்தேன் பெண்ணே
ஆனந்தம் கொண்டேன்
நிலவரம் கலவரம்
நெஞ்சோடு மழைவரும்
Are your eyes fish or fishing hooks?
I fell, O girl, and found pure bliss
The state of mind is in chaos, a rain pours within the heart
வெண்ணிலவை
விழியில் பிடித்தாய் ஒரு
சிரிப்பில் இதயம் பறித்தாய்
நீ எனது கனவில் வரவே
எழாமல் இருக்கிறேன்
உன் சுவாசம் உயிரை
தொடவே விடமால்
பிடிக்கிறேன்
