Irandu manam inaiya inaiya inaiya
Pirandha payan adaiya adaiya adaiya
Oor paarkka, kaikorkkum naal vandhadhe!
Ennaalum anbodu aanandhame!
En koottile oru oramaai irundhenada kanna
Varamaagave nee vandhadhaal thilaithenada
Thisaiyindri naan thedi thirindhen thaniyaagave kanne
Oliyaaga nee enai serndhadhaal pizhaithenadi
Kanavilum kandiraadhoru kaatchi ondrinai indru paarkkiren
Nijamidhu endru naanume nambidaamale killip paarkkiren
Irukkum kaalam yaavum undhan anaippinil
Nee endhan chella chinungalil
Anaikondu thaduthaalum nillaa
Punal idhu punal idhu – inbak
Kanal idhu kanal idhu – kaadhal!
Anaikondu thaduthaalum nillaa
Punal idhu punal idhu
Inbakanal idhu kanal idhu – kaadhal!
Irandu manam inaiya inaiya inaiya
Pirandha payan adaiya adaiya adaiya
Oor paarkka, kaikorkkum naal vandhadhe!
Ennaalum anbodu aanandhame!
As two hearts unite, unite, unite
As the purpose of birth is fulfilled, fulfilled, fulfilled
For all the world to see, the day to hold hands has arrived!
Forever filled with love and bliss!
I was sitting in a corner of my nest, my darling
Because you arrived as a boon, I revelled in joy, my dear
Without a direction, I wandered searching all alone, my darling
Because you joined me as light, I survived, my dear
Today I witness a scene that I had never even seen in my dreams
Unable to believe that this is reality, I pinch myself
For all remaining time, in your embrace
You, in my affectionate sulking
Unstoppable even if blocked by a dam
This is a stream, this is a stream – of joy
This is a fire, this is a fire – of love!
Unstoppable even if blocked by a dam
This is a stream, this is a stream – of joy
This is a fire, this is a fire – of love!
As two hearts unite, unite, unite
As the purpose of birth is fulfilled, fulfilled, fulfilled
For all the world to see, the day to hold hands has arrived!
Forever filled with love and bliss!
