In an awkward yet charming way,
She looks so beautiful.
In the north or in the east,
Where could she possibly be residing?
அலஞ்சே திரிஞ்சேன்
அவளின் நினப்பா
ஒரு நாள் தமையே
நிலவ புடிப்பா
அடியே மாமா
மடியில் அரங்கு
அடுத்த நிறுத்தம்
நம்ம ஊர் இறங்கு
I wandered endlessly,
Immersed in thoughts of her.
One day, all by herself,
She will reach out and catch the moon!
Hey girl, on your uncle's
Lap is the stage,
At the next stop,
Get down at our home village!
