அவள் குழல்
உதிா்த்திடும் இலை
எனை துளைத்திடும்
இடைவெளி முளைத்திடும்
நேரம் உயிா் நனைத்திடும்
A single strand shed from her hair
Pierces right through me
When distance begins to sprout between us
It drenches my soul
அவள் இதழ்
திரட்டிடும் மழை என்னில்
தொித்திடும் சுழல் என சுழற்றிடும்
நெஞ்சை சுருட்டிடும்
Beautifully... she appears
Stripping away my soul
Slowly... unfolding wide
Understood through her gaze
அழகழகா அவ
தொிவா உயிா் உாிவா
மெது மெதுவா விாி
விாிவா விழி அறிவா
My sorrow, my passion
O girl who got lost somewhere
My boon, my time
O girl who bent gracefully
எனக்கானவளே நீதான்
கிட்ட வாறியா தொிஞ்சா
செஞ்சே மன்னிப்பே கிடையாதா
உடனே என்ன உதறிப்போனா சாியா
இனிமே நானும் உயிரும் அட தனியா
Time is passing... the clock is ticking
When is the time for you to change?
You argue... you act stubborn
Is it my fault for not reforming?
என் சோகமே என்
மோகமே எங்கேயோ
தொலைஞ்சவளே என்
வரமே என் நேரமே
ஏழாக வளைஞ்சவளே
With fluttering eyes
She threatened me and changed me a little
Without getting broken-hearted
Holding onto your finger
I too will cross over to the shore
காலம் போகுதே
கடிகாரம் ஓடுதே உன்ன
மாத்திக்கும் நேரம் எப்போ
வாதம் பண்ணுனா
பிடிவாதம் பண்ணுற
திருந்தாத நான்தான் தப்போ
My sorrow, my passion
O girl who got lost somewhere
My boon, my time
O girl who bent gracefully
படபடக்கும் கண்ணால
எனை மிரட்டிக் கொஞ்சம் மாத்திட்ட
மனசுடைஞ்சு போகாத உன் விரல்
புடிச்சு நானும் கரை ஏறுவேன்
Beautifully... she appears
Stripping away my soul
Slowly... unfolding wide
Understood through her gaze
Is it fair if you suddenly shake me off and leave?
From now on, my life and I are all alone
என் சோகமே என்
மோகமே எங்கேயோ
தொலைஞ்சவளே என்
வரமே என் நேரமே
ஏழாக வளைஞ்சவளே
My sorrow, my passion
O girl who got lost somewhere
My boon, my time
O girl who bent gracefully
அழகழகா அவ
தொிவா உயிா் உாிவா
மெது மெதுவா விாி
விாிவா விழி அறிவா
உடனே என்ன
உதறிப்போனா சாியா
இனிமே நானும் உயிரும்
அட தனியா
என் சோகமே என்
மோகமே எங்கேயோ
தொலைஞ்சவளே என்
வரமே என் நேரமே
ஏழாக வளைஞ்சவளே
Aval kuzhal udhirthidum
A single strand shed from her hair
Izhai enai thulaithidum
Pierces right through me
Idaiveli muzhaithidum neram
When distance begins to sprout between us
Uyir nanaithidum
It drenches my soul
Azhagazhaga.. ava theriva
Beautifully... she appears
Uyir urivaa
Stripping away my soul
Medhu medhuvaa.. viri virivaa
Slowly... unfolding wide
Vizhi arivaa
Understood through her gaze
En sogamae en mogamae
My sorrow, my passion
Engeyo tholanjavalae
O girl who got lost somewhere
En varamae en neramae
My boon, my time
Ezhaga valanjavalae
O girl who bent gracefully
Kaalam pogudhe.. kadikaram oduthae
Time is passing... the clock is ticking
Unna maathikkum neram eppo
When is the time for you to change?
Vaadham pannuna.. pidivaatham pannura
You argue... you act stubborn
Thirundhaadha naan than thappo
Is it my fault for not reforming?
: Padapadakkum kannala
With fluttering eyes
Ena meratti konjam maathitta
She threatened me and changed me a little
Manasodanji pogatha
Without getting broken-hearted
Un veral pudichu
Holding onto your finger
Naanum karai eruven
I too will cross over to the shore
En sogamae en mogamae
My sorrow, my passion

Inime naanum uyirum ada thaniyaa
From now on, my life and I are all alone
En sogamae en mogamae
My sorrow, my passion
Engeyo tholanjavalae
O girl who got lost somewhere
En varamae en neramae
My boon, my time
Ezhaga valanjavalae
O girl who bent gracefully
