Edho unnale
Vazhigal dhisai maruthe

Because of you,
My paths are changing direction.
Whenever I see you,
My heart falters.
Loving you, I will keep waiting,
My beloved love.
There is nothing quite like our love.
Speaking endlessly with our eyes,
Love's intoxication has drifted to sleep,
Yet this thirst for love remains unquenched.
Is this a dream or is it real?
I cannot tell.
Ever since I first saw you,
Somehow, because of this love,
I forget myself.
You are the meaning of my life.
Enchanted, I fall for you,
I want to live in your love every day.
You and I,
The days we spent together feel so sweet.
Even this very moment,
There are no words to describe.
I had grown weary,
This sweet, teasing love
Has taken deep hold of you,
And now it sways in the breeze.
Speaking endlessly with our eyes,
Love's intoxication has drifted to sleep,
Yet this thirst for love remains unquenched.
Is this a dream or is it real?
I cannot tell.
Ever since I first saw you,
Somehow, because of this love,
I forget myself.
You are the meaning of my life.
