Thaamasam enthe…varuvaan?
[Why are you late…to come?]

Thaamasam enthe varuvaan, praanasakhi, ente munnil?
Thaamasam enthe anayaan, premamayi, ente kanmunnil?
[Why are you late to come, hey soulmate, in front of me?
Why are you slow to reach me, my love, before my eyes?]
Thaamasam enthe varuvaan?
[Why are you late to come?]

Hemantha yaamini than ponvilakku poliyaraayi
Maakanda shakhakalil raakkilikal mayangaraayi
[The golden lamp of the winter moon is about to get extinguished
On the branches of mango trees, the night birds are ready to sleep]

Thaamasam enthe varuvaan, praanasakhi, ente munnil?
Thaamasam enthe anayaan, premamayi, ente kanmunnil?
[Why are you late to come, hey soulmate, in front of me?
Why are you slow to reach me, my love, before my eyes?]
Thaamasam enthe varuvaan?
[Why are you late to come?]

Thalir maram ilaki ninte thanka vala kilungiyallo
Poonchola kadavil ninte paadasaram kulungiyallo
[When the small tree shook, your golden bangles jingled
Beside the banks of the stream, your anklets chimed]
Paaloli chandrikayil nin mandahaasam kanduvallo
Paaloli chandrikayil nin mandahaasam kanduvallo
[In the white moonbeams, I saw your smile]
Paathiraa kaattil ninte pattu rumaal ilakiyallo
Paathiraa kaattil ninte pattu rumaal ilakiyallo
[In the midnight breeze, your silk handkerchief waved]

Thaamasam enthe varuvaan, praanasakhi, ente munnil?
Thaamasam enthe anayaan, premamayi, ente kanmunnil?
[Why are you late to come, hey soulmate, in front of me?
Why are you slow to reach me, my love, before my eyes?]
Thaamasam enthe varuvaan?
[Why are you late to come?]
