| Male | |
| Marakka theriyaadha manase | Oh heart that does not know how to forget, |
| Avala marandhu poo | Go ahead and forget her. |
| Kadakka mudiyaadha kanavu | A dream that cannot be crossed over, |
| Kalanchu karanju poo | Disperse and dissolve away. |
| Male | |
| Koduthum vaangaadha idhayam | A heart given away without getting anything in return, |
| Valiyil thavikkudho | Is it writhing in pain? |
| Ethukku than indha kaadhal | Why on earth does this love |
| Vaati vadhaikkudho | Torment and torture me so much? |
| Male | |
| Unnodu irundha vovvoru nodiyum | Every single second spent with you |
| Ennodu irundhe usir edukka | Stays with me only to drain my life away. |
| Kannodu pathinja athana azhagum | All the beauty imprinted in my eyes |
| Kannera valinji thee pidikka | Flows out as tears and catches fire. |
| Male | |
| Ethukku than indha kaadhal | Why on earth does this love |

| Valiya pazhagikoo | Get used to the pain. |

| Male | |
| Kottura mazhaiya nee vandha | You came like a pouring rain, |
| Mannula elaiyaa naan nenajen | I got soaked like a leaf lying on the ground. |
| Ketkaamale vandhu sollama mazha pola | Coming uninvited and leaving without a word like rain, |
| Nee vittu pogaadhe | Please do not leave and go. |
| Indha ilia ingu vaazhaadhe | This leaf cannot survive here without you. |
| Male | |
| Ottuna nizhala naan nadanthen | I walked like an attached shadow, |
| Ettuna nilava nee parandha | You flew away like the moon out of reach. |
| Mann eeramaai vandhu kannerraai aanaai | Coming like wetness to the earth, you ended up as tears. |
| Nizhal inge pesaadhae | The shadow does not speak here anymore, |
| Adhu yaar petchum ketkkadhu | It will not listen to anyone's words. |
| Male | |
| Thanimai enakku pudhusilla | Loneliness is not new to me, |
| Adhuvum ippo pudikkala | But even that, I do not like anymore. |
| Kural illaama katharuren | I am screaming without a voice, |
| Yendi unakku ketkkala | Why could you not hear it, girl? |

Oh heart that does not know how to forget,
Go ahead and forget her.
A dream that cannot be crossed over,
Disperse and dissolve away.
A heart given away without getting anything in return,
Is it writhing in pain?

But even that, I do not like anymore.
I am screaming without a voice,
Why could you not hear it, girl?
Why on earth does this love
Torment and torture me so much?
Enough of this love, my mind,
Get used to the pain.
