Unadharugilae uruginenI melted near you.

Iravellam vaan theduthaeThe night searches the sky all along.
Vidiyalae needhanadiYou are the dawn, my dear,
Enadhazhagiyae azhagiyaeMy beautiful, beautiful one.

Mozhigalum seramalaeEven without words joining together,
Agaramaai nee maravaeYou transformed into the primary source.
