{ Enna nenacha nee enna nenacha
En nenjukulla unna vechu thacha podhu } (2)
{ Sokki thavichen sokki thavichen
Naan sokka thangam kittiyadha thulli kudhichen } (2)
Kutraala saaral adhu kannoram oori vara
Onna nenachen naan onna nenachen
Endha poorva jenma punniyamo unna adainjen
Naandhara sirpam unnoda veppam
Naan thottu paakurappo enna nenacha
Theekuchi vandhu theekuchi kitta
Sowkiyam kekudhunu naanum nenachen
Un kannakuzhi mutham vechen enna nenacha
En nenjukuzhi meedhum onnu keka nenachen
En peraasai nooraasai ketkaiyil
Adi thaen malli nee enna nenachadi
Aarezhu kattilukum anjaaru thottilukum
Solla nenachen naan solla nenachen
Onna ottu motha kuthagaiyaa alla nenachen
Alla nenachen naan alla nenanchen
Onna ottu motha kuthagaiyaa alla nenachen
Methaiku melae unnoda sela
En kaiyil sikum velai enna nenacha
Eppodhum polae unnoda velai
Aarambam aachudhunu naanum nenachen
Nee ulkaayatha paakurappo enna nenancha
Nee nagam vetta venumunu solla nenachen
Naam onnodu onnaagum nerathil
Un poondhegam thaangumunu nenachaya
Kalyana sorgathula kacheri neramunu
Katti pudichen naan katti pudichen
En vekkam vittu moochu mutta katti pudichen
{ Sokki thavichen sokki thavichen
Naan sorgathaiyae ettiyadhaa thulli kudhichen } (2)
Kutraala saaral adhu kannoram oori vara
Onna nenachen naan onna nenachen
Endha poorva jenma punniyamo unna adainjen
What did you think, what went through your mind,
When I stitched you deep inside my heart?
I lost myself in longing, I was utterly spellbound,
I jumped with joy, feeling I had struck pure gold!
As a Courtallam drizzle welled up in the corners of my eyes,
I thought of you, I only thought of you.
By the good deeds of a past life, I was blessed with you.
When I touched to feel your warmth, like a living sculpture,
What did you think in that moment?
Like one matchstick coming close to another
To ask, "Are you doing well?"—that is what I thought!
When I kissed your dimpled cheek, what did you think?
I thought of asking for one right over my chest too!
When I asked to fulfill my hundred great desires,
Oh my sweet jasmine, what did you think?
To order six or seven beds and five or six cradles,
I thought of telling you, yes, I thought of telling you,
I thought of taking you entirely for myself on a lifelong lease!
I thought of gathering you in, taking you close,
I thought of claiming you completely as mine!
On the bed, when your saree
Got caught in my hands, what did you think?
I thought that just like always,
Your mischief had begun!
When you saw those hidden love-marks, what did you think?
I thought of telling you to trim your nails!
At the moment we become one with each other,
Did you wonder if your tender body could bear it?
Thinking it was showtime in our heaven of marriage,
I held you tight, yes, I held you close!
Leaving all my shyness behind, I held you till I lost my breath!
I lost myself in longing, I was utterly spellbound,
I jumped with joy, feeling I had reached heaven itself!
As a Courtallam drizzle welled up in the corners of my eyes,
I thought of you, I only thought of you.
By the good deeds of a past life, I was blessed with you.
