**Pon maaalaip pozhuthu
Idhu oru pon maalaip pozhudhu
Vaanamagal naanugiraal vaeru udai poonugiraal
(Idhu oru)**
Golden evening time
This is a golden evening time
The Sky-girl is getting shy, she is changing her clothes
(This is a)
**Aayiram nirangal jaalamidum
Raaththiri vaasalil kolamidum
Vaanam iravukkup paalamidum
Paadum paravaigal thaalamidum
Poomarangal saamarangal veesaadhoa
(Idhu oru)**
A thousand colours make magic
In front of the house of Night draw kolams(patterns)
The sky lets out a bridge for the night
The singing birds keep beat
Won’t the flowering trees, sap-trees wave with the wind?
(This is a)
**Vaanam enakkoru bhodhi maram
Naalum enakkadhu saedhi tharum
Oru naal ulagam needhi perum
Thirunaal nigazhum thaedhi varum
Kaelvigalaal vaelvigalai naan seyvaen
(Idhu oru)**
The sky is a tree of enlightenment for me
The day will give me news
One day the world will obtain justice
That auspicious day will happen, come looking to happen
I will make sacrifices of questions
(This is a)
