| Male | |
| Annana thaalaattum annai madi nee | You are the mother's lap that lulls an elder brother to sleep |
| Chithira poovae en chellamadi nee | You are a beautiful Chithirai flower, my dear darling |
| Kannellaam neeyaagum kollai madhi nee | You fill my eyes entirely, you are the captivating moon |
| Kaalamae ponaalum pillai mozhi nee | Even as time passes, your words remain as sweet as a child's |
| Male | |
| Hey simittum kanna paaka | Just to watch your blinking eyes |
| Kuduthu vachen naa..hoo | I am truly blessed... |
| Enakku thandha vaazhkka | This life given to me |
| Unakku mattum dhaan hoo…. | Is strictly meant only for you... |
| Male | |
| Thonaiyinnu naan solli kooda irrupen | I might claim to stay beside you as your companion |
| Nejathula en thona nee dhaandi | But in reality, you are my true companion |
| Azhagu poo dhaandi…en raasathi | You are a beautiful flower... my princess |
| Male | |
| Un kannula lesa kanneraa | If a tiny tear appears in your eyes |
| En kannu thoovum kadal neeraa | My eyes will shower seawater in grief |
| Koraiyaadha paasam oru aaraa | Unconditional love flows endlessly like a river |
| Dhenandhorum yerum pala nooraa | Increasing hundredfold every passing day |
| Male | |
| Thitti thitti naan konjam | I might scold you a little bit |
| Nadichirupen | Just pretending to be angry |
| Thendral adichaa kuda | But even if a gentle breeze touches you |
| Thudichirupen | My heart writhes in deep worry |
| Enna vida pala neram unna nenappen..hoi.. | I spend far more time thinking of you than myself |
| Thoppul kodiyoda otti vandha poovae | Oh flower that came attached with an umbilical cord |
| Ennuyirae nee dhaandi…. | You are my very life... |
| Male | |
| Annana thaalaattum annai madi nee | You are the mother's lap that lulls an elder brother to sleep |
| Chithira poovae en chellamadi nee | You are a beautiful Chithirai flower, my dear darling |
| Annana thaalaattum annai madi nee | You are the mother's lap that lulls an elder brother to sleep |
அண்ணன தாலாட்டும் அன்னை மடி நீ
சித்திர பூவே என் செல்லமடி நீ
கண்ணெல்லாம் நீயாகும் கொல்லை மதி நீ
காலமே போனாலும் பிள்ளை மொழி நீ
You are the mother's lap that lulls an elder brother to sleep
You are a beautiful Chithirai flower, my dear darling
You fill my eyes entirely, you are the captivating moon
Even as time passes, your words remain as sweet as a child's
ஏய் சிமிட்டும் கண்ண பாக்க
குடுத்து வச்சேன் நா ஓ..
எனக்கு தந்த வாழ்க்கை
உனக்கு மட்டும் தான் ஓ...
Just to watch your blinking eyes
I am truly blessed...
This life given to me
Is strictly meant only for you...
தொணையின்னு நான் சொல்லி கூட இருப்பேன்
நெஜத்துல என் தொண நீ தாண்டி
அழகு பூ தாண்டி ...என் ராசாத்தி
I might claim to stay beside you as your companion
But in reality, you are my true companion
You are a beautiful flower... my princess
உன் கண்ணுல லேசா கண்ணீரா
என் கண்ணு தூவும் கடல் நீரா
குறையாத பாசம் ஒரு ஆறா
தெனந்தோறும் ஏறும் பல நூறா
If a tiny tear appears in your eyes
My eyes will shower seawater in grief
Unconditional love flows endlessly like a river
Increasing hundredfold every passing day
திட்டி திட்டி நான் கொஞ்சம்
நடிச்சிருப்பேன்
தென்றல் அடிச்சா கூட
துடிச்சிருப்பேன்
என்ன விட பல நேரம் உன்ன நெனப்பேன் ஹோய்
தொப்புள் கொடியோட ஒட்டி வந்த பூவே
என்னுயிரே நீ தாண்டி
I might scold you a little bit
Just pretending to be angry
But even if a gentle breeze touches you
My heart writhes in deep worry
I spend far more time thinking of you than myself
Oh flower that came attached with an umbilical cord
You are my very life...
அண்ணன தாலாட்டும் அன்னை மடி நீ
சித்திர பூவே என் செல்லமடி நீ
அண்ணன தாலாட்டும் அன்னை மடி நீ……

My eyes will shower seawater in grief
Koraiyaadha paasam oru aaraa
Unconditional love flows endlessly like a river
Dhenandhorum yerum pala nooraa
Increasing hundredfold every passing day
Thitti thitti naan konjam

Thoppul kodiyoda otti vandha poovae
Oh flower that came attached with an umbilical cord
Ennuyirae nee dhaandi….

Annana thaalaattum annai madi nee
You are the mother's lap that lulls an elder brother to sleep
Chithira poovae en chellamadi nee
