Inneram indha neram pinnae nagara koodatha
Un meedhu vandha kadhal ullae pudhayaadha
En kaayam aayul kaalam theerum bodhum aaradha
Un paadhai nyabagagal nenjil anaiyaadha
Ariyadha boogabamaaga
Ennai or vaarthai rendaakkudhae
Theriyaadha oru kadhal koodu
Adhil idhayangal moondrodudhae
Engirandho nee vandhaye uravae
Kan imai pola servaaiyo pirivae
Inneram indha neram pinnae nagara koodatha
Un meedhu vandha kadhal ullae pudhayaadha
En kaayam aayul kaalam theerum bodhum aaradha
Un paadhai nyabagagal nenjil anaiyaadha
Kannumuzhucho yengi thavicho
Manam unnai nenacho kaathirunthucho
Kaiyil kedachum kaatril vittacho
Adhil unnai tholacho thorthirunthucho
Yen indha kanavu vetta veliyil
Kotti selludhae…kotti selludhae
Yaaritta viragil nenjam neruppaai patri kolludhae
Poo innum tholaivaai indha nerukkum
Ennai thalludhae ennai thalludhae
Nee thandha ninaivu ennai azhagaai sutrikolludhae
Ondru serndhaalum vittu sendraalum
Endhan kaadhal thaan maaradhae
Solli kondraalum ullae kondraalum
Indha kaadhal thaan theeraadhae
Unnai kaana thaan ingae vanthenae
Ennai kaanamal naanum nindranae
Veli kaatamal vesham kondenae
Endhan aasaigal adhai kondrenae
Kannumuzhucho yengi thavicho
Manam unnai nenacho kaathirunthucho
Kaiyil kedachum kaatril vittacho
Adhil unnai tholacho thorthirunthucho
Hoo oo oo oo oo….
Inneram indha neram pinnae nagara koodatha
Un meedhu vandha kadhal ullae pudhayaadha
En kaayam aayul kaalam theerum bodhum aaradha
Un paadhai nyabagagal nenjil anaiyaadha
Ariyadha boogabamaaga
Ennai or vaarthai rendaakkudhae
Theriyaadha oru kadhal koodu
Adhil idhayangal moondrodudhae
Engirandho nee vandhaye uravae
Kan imai pola servaaiyo pirivae
Kannumuzhucho yengi thavicho
Manam unnai nenacho kaathirunthucho
Kaiyil kedachum kaatril vittacho
Adhil unnai tholacho thorthirunthucho
Can't this time, this very moment, move backwards?
Can't the love I felt for you stay buried deep inside?
Won't my wound heal even when my lifetime comes to an end?
Won't the memories of your path fade away from my heart?
Like an unexpected earthquake,
a single word breaks me into two.
In an unfamiliar nest of love,
three hearts are racing inside.
From somewhere you came into my life, my love,
will you unite like closing eyelids, or bring separation?
Can't this time, this very moment, move backwards?
Can't the love I felt for you stay buried deep inside?
Won't my wound heal even when my lifetime comes to an end?
Won't the memories of your path fade away from my heart?
Staying wide awake, longing and aching,
my heart thought of you and kept waiting.
Though I held it in my hands, did I let it drift in the wind?
Did I lose you in it and end up defeated?
Why does this dream spill out
in the open... spilling all over?
From firewood laid by unknown hands, my heart catches fire like a flame.
The flower is still far away, yet this pressure
pushes me away... pushes me away.
The memories you gave wrap around me so gently.
Whether we come together or you walk away,
my love for you will never change.
Whether you kill me with words or kill me from within,
this love will never end.
I came here only to see you,
yet I stood here having lost myself.
Without showing anything outside, I put on a disguise,
and killed my own desires.
Staying wide awake, longing and aching,
my heart thought of you and kept waiting.
Though I held it in my hands, did I let it drift in the wind?
Did I lose you in it and end up defeated?
Hoo oh oh oh oh...
Can't this time, this very moment, move backwards?
Can't the love I felt for you stay buried deep inside?
Won't my wound heal even when my lifetime comes to an end?
Won't the memories of your path fade away from my heart?
Like an unexpected earthquake,
a single word breaks me into two.
In an unfamiliar nest of love,
three hearts are racing inside.
From somewhere you came into my life, my love,
will you unite like closing eyelids, or bring separation?
Staying wide awake, longing and aching,
my heart thought of you and kept waiting.
Though I held it in my hands, did I let it drift in the wind?
Did I lose you in it and end up defeated?
