| Male | |
| Indha kadhalil marubadi | In this love, once again |
| Veezhum nodi | The moment of falling |
| Viraal korkavum | To intertwine fingers |
| Un oru karam pothumadi | Just one hand of yours is enough, my dear |
| Un imaithida vizhigalai parthabadi | As I gaze at your unblinking eyes |
| Peramaidhiyil idhayamum thungudhadi | In vast silence, my heart slumbers, my dear |
| Female | |
| Udai udal uyir | Attire, body, and soul |
| Mundraiyum thandi | Transcending all three |

இந்தக் காதலில் மறுபடி
வீழும் நொடி
விரல் கோர்க்கவும்
உன் ஒரு கரம் போதுமடி
உன் இமைத்திட விழிகளைப் பார்த்தபடி
பேரமைதியில் இதயமும் தூங்குதடி
In this love, once again
The moment of falling
To intertwine fingers
Just one hand of yours is enough, my dear
As I gaze at your unblinking eyes
In vast silence, my heart slumbers, my dear
உடை உடல் உயிர்
மூன்றையும் தாண்டி
உன்னை என்னை
இங்கு சேர்த்தது காதல்
தனி உலகில் நாம் இனி வாழ
தொடரும் காதல்
Attire, body, and soul
Transcending all three
You and me here
Love is what united us
In a separate world
For us to live from now on
Love will continue
ஹோ ஹோ
நொடி கனம் யுகம்
மூன்றையும் தாண்டி
உன்னில் என்னில்
இங்கே நீந்திடும் காதல்
புவி பெருவெளி யாவும் தாண்டி
படரும் காதல்
Ho hooo
Second, moment, and epoch
Transcending all three
In you and in me here
Love that endures
Transcending the vast space of the world
Love that spreads wide
அன்றே நீ என்னை பிரிந்தது
யாரின் சதி
இன்று உன்னுடன் இணைத்தது
காதல் நதி
That day you separated from me
Whose conspiracy was that?
Today, what united me with you
Is the river of love
இனிமேல் இந்த மனிதர்கள்
தேவை இல்லை
இந்த காதலை தடுத்திட
யாரும் இல்லை
From now on, these human beings
Are not needed
To stop this love
There is no one
நீ வெறிந்திடும் நொடி வினை புன்னகையே
The moment you blossom into a smile
You are the paintbrush that paints it
நீ தானே அதை வரைந்திடும் தூரிகையே
One single face
One single voice
Always your fragrance
When I close my eyes
You are the only dream, my dear
ஒரே முகம் ஒரே குரல்
முப்பொழுதும் உந்தன் வாசனை
கண் மூடினால் ஒரே கனா நீ தானாடி
Applying kohl in the eyes
You unlocked me
Once again with ink
I reached you
விழிகளில் மை தீட்டி
திறந்தாய் என்னை
மறுபடி மை கொண்டு
அடைந்தேனே உன்னை
You dissolved like medicine
You were the ultimate nectar and were born anew
மருந்தாய் கரைந்தாய்
அருந்தாய் இருந்தாய் பிறந்தாயே
Hmm mm mm mm mmm
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்
ஓ… ஓ… ஓஹோ…
Oo. Oo.. Oohoo…

Orey kanaa nee dhaanadi
You are the only dream, my dear
Vizhigalil mai theeti
Applying kohl in the eyes
Thiranthayae ennai
You unlocked me
Marubadi mai kondu
Once again with ink
Adaindhenae unnai
I reached you
Marundhaai karaindhaai
You dissolved like medicine
Arundhaai irundhaai piranthaaiyae
You were the ultimate nectar and were born anew
Hmm mm mm mm mmm
Hmm mm mm mm mmm
Oo. Oo.. Oohoo…
Oo. Oo.. Oohoo…
