En punnagai saaral neeyadiYou are the drizzle of my smile, my dear
En kaadhal thottamum neeyadiYou are also my garden of love, my dear
Unnai thediyae vandhen naanadiI came searching for you, my dear
Nee angu illaiyadiYou were not there, my dear
Male
Unakkaaga naanum varuvenaeI will come for you
Uyir koodathaan dhinam tharuvenaeI will even give my life daily for you
Nee angu indru illaiyaelIf you are not there today
Naan ingu illaiyadiI will not exist here, my dear
