| Anbae vaa arugilae | Come near me, my love, |
| En vaasal vazhiyilae | Through my doorway. |
| Ullaasa maaligai maaligai | A joyful mansion, a mansion, |
| Engae en dhevadhai dhevadhai | Where is my angel, my angel? |
| Nee thaanae vendum endru yenginen | I yearned for only you to be mine, |
| Naal thorum mullin meedhu thoonginen | Every day I slept on a bed of thorns. |

| Ithanai naal vaai mozhindha | You who spoke all these days, |
| Sithiramae ippozhudhu | Oh picture-like beauty, now |
| Maunam yaen thaano | Why is there this silence? |
| Minnalena minni vittu | Flashing like a bolt of lightning, |
| Kan maraivaai sendru vitta | And disappearing from sight, |
| Maayam nee thaano | Are you a magical illusion? |
| Unnaal vandha kaadhal | The love that came because of you, |
| Unnaal thaanae vaazhum | Will live on only because of you. |
| Ennai neengi ponaal | If you leave me, |
| Unnai saerum paavam | The sin of it will reach you. |
| Enakkoru adaikkalam vazhangumo | Will it grant me a refuge, |
| Un idhayamae | Your heart? |

அன்பே வா அருகிலே
என் வாசல் வழியிலே
உல்லாச மாளிகை மாளிகை
எங்கே என் தேவதை தேவதை
நீ தானே வேண்டும் என்று ஏங்கினேன்
நாள் தோறும் முள்ளின் மீது தூங்கினேன்
Come near me, my love,
Through my doorway.
A joyful mansion, a mansion,
Where is my angel, my angel?
I yearned for only you to be mine,
Every day I slept on a bed of thorns.
அன்பே வா அருகிலே
என் வாசல் வழியிலே
Come near me, my love,
Through my doorway.
இத்தனை நாள் வாய் மொழிந்த
சித்திரமே இப்பொழுது
மௌனம் ஏன் தானோ
மின்னலென மின்னி விட்டு
கண் மறைவாய் சென்று விட்ட
மாயம் நீ தானோ
உன்னால் வந்த காதல்
உன்னால் தானே வாழும்
என்னை நீங்கி போனால்
உன்னை சேரும் பாவம்
எனக்கொரு அடைக்கலம் வழங்குமோ
உன் இதயமே
You who spoke all these days,
Oh picture-like beauty, now
Why is there this silence?
Flashing like a bolt of lightning,
And disappearing from sight,
Are you a magical illusion?
The love that came because of you,
Will live on only because of you.
If you leave me,
The sin of it will reach you.
Will it grant me a refuge,
Your heart?
அன்பே வா அருகிலே
என் வாசல் வழியிலே
உல்லாச மாளிகை மாளிகை
எங்கே என் தேவதை தேவதை
நீ தானே வேண்டும் என்று ஏங்கினேன்
நாள் தோறும் முள்ளின் மீது தூங்கினேன்
Come near me, my love,
Through my doorway.
A joyful mansion, a mansion,
Where is my angel, my angel?
I yearned for only you to be mine,
Every day I slept on a bed of thorns.
அன்பே வா அருகிலே
என் வாசல் வழியிலே
Come near me, my love,
Through my doorway.
உள்ளத்துக்குள் உள்ளிருந்து
மெல்ல மெல்ல கொல்லுவது
காதல் நோய் தானோ
வைகை என பொய்கை என
மையலிலே எண்ணியது
கானல் நீர் தானோ
என்னை நீயும் தூண்ட
எண்ணக் கோலம் போட்டேன்
மீண்டும் கோலம் போட
உன்னைத் தானே கேட்டேன்
எனக்கொரு அடைக்கலம் வழங்குமோ
உன் இதயமே
Residing deep within the heart,
And slowly, slowly killing me,
Is it the sickness of love?
Thinking it to be the Vaigai river or a lake,
What I mistook in my infatuation,
Is it just a mirage?
As you inspired and urged me,
Look at the life patterns I drew;
To draw those patterns again,
I asked only for you.
Will it grant me a refuge,
Your heart?
அன்பே வா அருகிலே
என் வாசல் வழியிலே
உல்லாச மாளிகை மாளிகை
எங்கே என் தேவதை தேவதை

Come near me, my love,
Through my doorway.
A joyful mansion, a mansion,
Where is my angel, my angel?
