♫ Tanglish lyrics
↻ English translation
Jeevan indha kanamae
Unnodu serumae
Pothum indha nimidam
Nam kaadhal vaazhumae
Nenjam yengum
Sontham neeyae
En ulagam unathallava
Vaazhum kaalam
Yaavum un mel
Naan maiyal kollava…
In this very moment, my soul
Unites with you.
This moment alone is enough,
Our love will live on.
The one my heart yearns for,
You are truly mine.
Isn't my whole world yours?
For all the days I live,
Through every part of my life,
May I fall in love with you?

Nenjam yengum / Sontham neeyae

The second consonant sound 'n' in 'Nenjam' and 'Sontham' creates harmonious internal rhythm.
