En mel vizhundha mazhaiyae
Nodiyil kalaintha kanavae
Kangalin kaatchi pizhaiyae
Neeyum nizhalum thaan thunaiyae
Kai korthu vaazhntha naatkalae
En eeral kaatrai eerkkuthae
Un ninaivai unavaai undu
Vaazhvathu sugamae
En mel vizhundha mazhaiyae
Nodiyil kalaintha kanavae
Kangalin kaatchi pizhaiyae
Neeyum nizhalum thaan thunaiyae
Haaaa..aaaa…aaa…
Men viral pada vilagidum kavalaigal idho
Un ninaivugal thalaiyai kodhudhae
Un aadaiyin thaniyoru vaasanai idho
Or malarena amarnthu pesuthae
Thaeneerin vettru koppai
Un kaigal patra ketkum
Nee sonna vaarthai mattum
En naatkal vaazhnthu paarkkum
Un perai uchcharithaal
Aayul kooduthae
Nee mattum pothum anbae
Meendum vanthidu
En mel vizhundha mazhaiyae
Nodiyil kalaintha kanavae
Kangalin kaatchi pizhaiyae
Neeyum nizhalum thaan thunaiyae
Kai korthu vaazhntha naatkalae
En eeral kaatrai eerkkuthae
Un ninaivai unavaai undu
Vaazhvathu sugamae
En mel vizhundha mazhaiyae
Nodiyil kalaintha kanavae
Kangalin kaatchi pizhaiyae
Neeyum nizhalum thaan thunaiyae
O rain that fell upon me,
O dream that shattered in a moment,
O illusion before my eyes,
You and your shadow are my only companions.
The days we lived holding hands
Still breathe air into my lungs,
Feeding on your memories,
Living like this is sweet.
O rain that fell upon me,
O dream that shattered in a moment,
O illusion before my eyes,
You and your shadow are my only companions.
Haa... aaaa... aa...
See how worries fade at the touch of your soft fingers,
Your memories gently stroke my hair.
The unique scent of your clothes
Sits beside me and speaks like a flower.
An empty cup of tea
Longs for your hands to hold it.
Only the words you once spoke
Live out these days with me.
Whenever I say your name,
My lifespan grows longer.
You are all I need, my love,
Please come back to me.
O rain that fell upon me,
O dream that shattered in a moment,
O illusion before my eyes,
You and your shadow are my only companions.
The days we lived holding hands
Still breathe air into my lungs,
Feeding on your memories,
Living like this is sweet.
O rain that fell upon me,
O dream that shattered in a moment,
O illusion before my eyes,
You and your shadow are my only companions.
