Nodiyil kalaintha kanavaeO dream that dissolved in a second
Kangalin kaatchi pizhaiyaeO visual illusion of the eyes
Neeyum nizhalum thaan thunaiyaeOnly you and your shadow are my companions

En eeral kaatrai eerkkuthaeAttracts my moist breeze
Un ninaivai unavaai unduConsuming your memory as my food
Vaazhvathu sugamaeLiving is sweet pleasure
