Enga pora di thanimayil niruthi
Unnai thaan nenachu melugu pola
Uruguven naanum
Kannin oorama kanneer yen amma
Neeyum thaan pogaiyil naan thantha muthangal
Nyabagam varuma
Vilaga vilaga nee ennai vilaga
Idhayam thool thoolai norungudhae
Nodi neeyum pirindhaalum
Un vaasam maraindhaalum
Nenjam thaanguma
Pada padavena nee pesum
Pala nooru vaarthaikul
Arthangal thedi thaan kandidalaam
Anbaai nee anaithaalum sandaigal pottaalum
Kaadhal theeruma
Enga pora di thanimayil niruthi
Unnai thaan nenachu melugu pola
Uruguven naanum

Where are you going, leaving me all alone?
Thinking only of you, like a candle,
I will melt away.
Why are there tears in the corner of your eyes, my love?
As you walk away, will the kisses I gave you
Come back to your memory?
As you keep drifting away from me,
My heart shatters into pieces.
Even if you leave for just a second,
Even if your scent fades away,
Can my heart ever bear it?
In the rush of words you speak,
Across those hundreds of words,
I can always search and find true meaning.
Whether you hold me close in love or pick a fight,
Will this love ever end?
Where are you going, leaving me all alone?
Thinking only of you, like a candle,
I will melt away.
Why are there tears in the corner of your eyes, my love?
As you walk away, will the kisses I gave you
Come back to your memory?
My eyes search for you on their own, searching on and on...
Untouched by you, my body withers in longing,
Withering in deep longing.
The days without you stretch on and on...
I have kept only you safe in my heart.
Brushing against me, brushing against my heart,
Your memories brush against my heart.
For you to lean upon my shoulder,
Come back again and again to dance with me.
The door to my heart is open wide,
Just to catch your childlike smile.
My beloved, beautiful girl,
Holding you gently in my arms,
Shall I shower you with love... shall I?
Where did you go, leaving me all alone?
Thinking only of you, like a candle,
I have melted away.
Why are there tears in the corner of your eyes, my love?
As you walk away, will the kisses I gave you
Come back to your memory?
Where did you go...
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go...
