Thenkizhakku Thean Chittu
The honeybee from the southeast,

Sembaruthi Poo Mottu
A bud of the hibiscus flower,

Sellam Konjuthae Thaalatta
Coos sweetly while rocking like a lullaby.

Eththanaiyo Kaalam Vaaradha Vaanavil
Like a rainbow that hasn’t appeared in ages,

Vandhadhu Pol Nee Pesa
It feels as if it has finally come when you speak.

Uchiyila Neendum Aagasa Meenena
Like a fish swimming in the highest skies,

Thullidudhae Un Aasa
Your desires are leaping with joy.

Mazhai Adikkum Un Siripil
In your laughter, like the pouring rain,

Sedimulaiyikkum Naan Poovaaga
I, like a plant, will blossom into a flower.

Veyil Adikkum Naal Varaikkum
Until the scorching sun comes,

Koda Pidippen Un Thaayaga
I will shield you like a mother, holding the umbrella.

Nee Nee Sollum Kadhai
The stories you tell,

Naan Naan Kaetkum Varai
Until I hear them fully,

Naamavom Maayap Paravaigalae
We will become magical birds flying together.

Thenkizhakku Thean Sittu
The honeybee from the southeast,

Sembaruthi Poo Mottu
A bud of the hibiscus flower,

Sellam Konjuthae Thaalaatta
Coos sweetly, singing a lullaby.

Othaiyila Pogum Vetta Veli Maegam
A lonely cloud floats through the wide-open sky,

Metteduthu Paadaadho Rekka Virichi
Won’t it take up a melody and sing, spreading its wings wide?

Siththerumbu Podum Natchathira Kolam
The stars form intricate patterns in the sky,

Solleduthu Veesadho Unna Rasichu
Won’t they speak and spread, marveling at you?

Therinje Nee Seiyyum Saetta
Your playful mischief that I knowingly enjoy,

Thelivaaga Unna Kaatta
Clearly shows who you are.

All the trees will sway like swings.
