(1) தென் பாண்டி சீமையிலே... தேரோடும் வீதியிலே...
 மான் போல வந்தவனே யார் அடிச்சாரோ...
 யார் அடிச்சாரோ... யார் அடிச்சாரோ...
 யார் அடிச்சாரோ... யார் அடிச்சாரோ...

Then paandi cheemaiyile… thaerodum veediyile…
maan pola vandhavanae yaar adiththaaroo…
yaar adiththaaroo… yaar adithaaroo…
yaar adiththaaroo… yaar adithaaroo…

In the empire of the pandya king… along the streets where chariots pass…
you are the one who came hopping like a deer into our hearts… did anyone hurt you?
did anyone hurt you? did anyone hurt you?
did anyone hurt you? did anyone hurt you?

(2) வளரும் பிறையே தேயாதே.... இனியும் அழுது தேம்பாதே...
 அழுதா மனசு தாங்காதே... அழுதா மனசு தாங்காதே...

valarum piraiye thaeyaade… iniyum azhudhu taembaade…
azhudhaa manasu thaangaade… azhudhaa manasu thaangaade…

Oh growing crescent, do not wane… Do not sniffle from all that crying…
For your tears would break my heart… For your tears would break my heart…(This line is adapted from songinmyhead-quora )
