ஆண்கள் :
என்னோடு வாழ்வாயோ

காதல் தீவே
நில்லாய்யொடி
காதல் செய்ய வந்தேனடி
கண்ணை பார்த்து
கொள்ளாதடி
மண்ணை பார்க்க மறந்தேனடி
Snowy dreams every single day,
It is enough if lonely nights just pass by.
A daily uproar inside my soul,
What justice is there in this, girl?
இது ஒரு வித போராட்டம்
இதயத்தில் ஒரு புது வித மாற்றம்
அணுக்களும் உன் பேர் சொல்லும்
மாயம் என்னடி

Male: As an island,
Chorus: Don't go away, girl,
Male: Don't go away, girl,
Male: I came here seeking refuge in you, girl.
பனி கனவுகள் நாள் தோறும்

உயிர்க்குள் தினம் ஆர்பாட்டம்
நியாயம் என்னடி

Chorus: I forgot them, girl,
Male: I forgot them, girl,

I have no hesitation to tell both.
Hey, when you smile,
There is gentleness and truth in it.

In the grassy meadow,
We separated like two drops of water,
Today, in the Kaveri river,
We ran together and united.
பொய் உண்மை
ரெண்டும் சொல்ல தயக்கம் இல்லை
அடி நீ சிரித்தாள்
அதில் மென்மையே உண்மையே
Without lovers' spats,
No love exists anywhere, girl.
Without any flaws,
No relationship remains permanent, girl.
புல் வெளியில்
இரு துளிகளாக பிரிந்தோம்
இன்று காவேரியில்
நாம் ஓடினோம் கூடினோம்
This is a kind of struggle,
A new kind of change in my heart.
Even my atoms chant your name,
What kind of magic is this, girl?
ஊடல் ஏதும் இல்லாத
காதல் எங்கும் இல்லையடி
குறைகள் ஏதும் இல்லாத
எந்த உறவிலும் நிலை இல்லையடி
Snowy dreams every single day,
It is enough if lonely nights just pass by.
A daily uproar inside my soul,
What justice is there in this, girl?
இது ஒரு வித போராட்டம்
இதயத்தில் ஒரு புது வித மாற்றம்
