Poove poove thazhampoove
O flower, O gentle flower,

Nenjin naalam nee
You are the melody of my heart.

Veendum veendum kaanan thonnum
I long to see you again and again,

Mayajalam nee
You are like a magical illusion.

Azhage aazhikannale thazhukum ambili kunjole
Beauty of the deep ocean-like eyes, you are the tender crescent moon.

Arikil chernnirikkoole, nilave
Stay close by me, like the moonlight.

Veruthe vaadinikkaathe chiriyil muthu kudanjaatte
Don’t wither away in vain, let your smile be adorned with pearls.

Mazhavil chanthame ennumenn swanthame
You are the rainbow rhythm, always my very own.

Kiliye thatha kiliye
O bird, my chirping bird,

Konchiparnnenn koottilethoole
You flutter around, whispering softly in the nest.

Niraye chinni chitharum kothiyaayi
Your mind is filled with playful desires,

Kurumbe kallakurumbe ullilolikkum naanamenthanu
Dear little mischievous one, what’s the spark that shines inside you?

Pulare muthipunarnnonnaliyaan
In the morning, you gather the dewdrops lovingly.

Thankame…
O precious one…

Thankame, thankame thanna nannane
O precious one, like the most cherished gift.

Maayam katti mayakkidalle
You cast a spell and mesmerize me,

Manathude nadathidalle
And lead my heart astray.

Kathilinnu chonnathellam nerano?
Is everything you whispered in my ear true?

Ninnemathram orthirunnu
I’ve only been thinking of you,

Kanavukal kortheduthu
Collecting dreams one by one,

Pudamuri kaathirikkum naadan pennane
Like the village girl waiting to tie her bridal knot.

Azhage changulakkana chodhyamithenthe
O beauty, what is this mysterious question in your eyes?

Theeyerikkana oraadhiyumenthe
What is this fire burning inside?

Nammal randum randayennal lokam theerille
If we remain two separate people, the world will not be complete.

Chiyothi kaavilethi vilakku koluthi
We’ll light the sacred lamps in the temple,

Naadarinjoru thaaliyum ketti
And tie the wedding knot as tradition commands.

Kayyil kayyum korthum konde koode koottum njan
Hand in hand, we’ll walk together as one.

Mazhavil chanthame neeyen swanthame
O rainbow rhythm, you are forever my own.

Thanthane thanthane thantha nannane
My precious one, my most cherished one.

Poove poove thazhampoove
O flower, O gentle flower,

Nenjin naalam nee
You are the melody of my heart.
