Un karuvizhiyil vizhundhen

I fell into your dark eyes
I was born again
Because of you, I forget myself
In my dreams every day
I admired your beauty
I refuse to wake up, my love
Living beside you is pure bliss
My heart melts every single day
Female: All of this girl's shyness,
did you steal it away?
Are you the queen of all water lilies in the world?
Am I the earth that holds you?
Female: Are you the king who rules me every day?
And am I the crown upon your head?
I am swooning... am I losing myself?
I hesitate when I am close to you
Was I born a woman just to hold your hand?
I feel it... am I really feeling it?
Lost in your beauty, I babble without thinking
Did I grow into a man just to unite with your soul?
Oh my moonlight girl, do not fade away
My love will never change
Female: My dearest one, do not part from me
My precious soul
Who is she?
Is her voice a poem written by Brahma (the creator)?
Female: You are a lover of art,
have your lips come to read me?
I fell into your dark eyes
I was born again
Because of you, I forget myself
In my dreams every day
I admired your beauty
I refuse to wake up, my love
Living beside you is pure bliss
My heart melts every single day
Female: All of this girl's shyness,
did you steal it away?
Are you the queen of all water lilies in the world?
Am I the earth that holds you?
Female: Are you the king who rules me every day?
And am I the crown upon your head?
