| Male | |
| Kaatrin viral pidithu nadanthu vaa | Come walking while holding the wind's finger |
| Kanmani kanmani | My darling, my darling |
| Violin osai kudithu paadi vaa | Come singing after drinking the sound of the violin |
| Ponmani ponmani | My precious gem, my precious gem |
| Male | |
| Kaadhali enbaval kattil alla | A beloved woman is not merely a bed |
| Kai thatti sirikkum bommai alla | She is not a toy that laughs when hands are clapped |
| Nenjukkul varuvaal mella mella | She slowly enters into the heart |
| Uyire ival endru solla solla | As I keep saying that she is my very life |
| Male | |
| Nee yaaro evalo alla | You are not just anyone or a stranger |
| Naan ezhettu varigalil solla | For me to describe you in seven or eight lines |
| Nee alaiyo mazhaiyo alla | You are not merely a wave or rain |
| Naan aayiram viralgalil alla | Nor something I can capture with a thousand fingers |
| Male | |
| Naetrai kanden un kannil | I saw yesterday in your eyes |
| Pudhidhaai pirandhen un nenjil | I was reborn anew in your heart |
| Araikkul peiyum mazhai pola | Like rain falling inside a room |
| Enakkul vandhaai mun naalil | You entered into me the other day |
| Male | |
| Yaaro ezhudhi micham vaitha | Left behind by someone who wrote it |
| Kavithai vari pol paarkindraai | You look at me like a line of poetry |
| Mudhalil kodutha mutham pola | Like the very first kiss given |
| Uyirai eduthaai | You stole my soul away |
| Male | |
| Nee yaaro evalo alla | You are not just anyone or a stranger |
| Naan ezhettu varigalil solla | For me to describe you in seven or eight lines |
| Nee alaiyo mazhaiyo alla | You are not merely a wave or rain |
| Naan aayiram viralgalil alla | Nor something I can capture with a thousand fingers |
காற்றின் விரல் பிடித்து நடந்து வா
கண்மணி கண்மணி
வயலின் ஓசை குடித்து பாடி வா
பொன்மணி பொன்மணி
Come walking while holding the wind's finger
My darling, my darling
Come singing after drinking the sound of the violin
My precious gem, my precious gem
காதலி என்பவள் கட்டில் அல்ல
கை தட்டி சிரிக்கும் பொம்மை அல்ல
நெஞ்சுக்குள் வருவாள் மெல்ல மெல்ல
உயிரே இவள் என்று சொல்ல சொல்ல
A beloved woman is not merely a bed
She is not a toy that laughs when hands are clapped
She slowly enters into the heart
As I keep saying that she is my very life
நீ யாரோ எவளோ அல்ல
நான் ஏழெட்டு வரிகளில் சொல்ல
நீ அலையோ மழையோ அல்ல
நான் ஆயிரம் விரல்களில் அல்ல
You are not just anyone or a stranger
For me to describe you in seven or eight lines
You are not merely a wave or rain
Nor something I can capture with a thousand fingers
நேற்றை கண்டேன் உன் கண்ணில்
புதிதாய் பிறந்தேன் உன் நெஞ்சில்
அறைக்குள் பெய்யும் மழை போல
எனக்குள் வந்தாய் முன் நாளில்
I saw yesterday in your eyes
I was reborn anew in your heart
Like rain falling inside a room
You entered into me the other day
யாரோ எழுதி மிச்சம் வைத்த
கவிதை வரி போல் பார்க்கின்றாய்
முதலில் கொடுத்த முத்தம் போல
உயிரை எடுத்தாய்
Left behind by someone who wrote it
You look at me like a line of poetry
Like the very first kiss given
You stole my soul away
நீ யாரோ எவளோ அல்ல
நான் ஏழெட்டு வரிகளில் சொல்ல
நீ அலையோ மழையோ அல்ல
நான் ஆயிரம் விரல்களில் அல்ல
You are not just anyone or a stranger
For me to describe you in seven or eight lines
You are not merely a wave or rain
Nor something I can capture with a thousand fingers
Kaatrin viral pidithu nadanthu vaa
Come walking while holding the wind's finger
Kanmani kanmani
My darling, my darling
Violin osai kudithu paadi vaa
Come singing after drinking the sound of the violin
Ponmani ponmani
My precious gem, my precious gem
Kaadhali enbaval kattil alla
A beloved woman is not merely a bed
Kai thatti sirikkum bommai alla
She is not a toy that laughs when hands are clapped
Nenjukkul varuvaal mella mella
She slowly enters into the heart
Uyire ival endru solla solla
As I keep saying that she is my very life
Nee yaaro evalo alla
You are not just anyone or a stranger
Naan ezhettu varigalil solla
For me to describe you in seven or eight lines
Nee alaiyo mazhaiyo alla
You are not merely a wave or rain
Naan aayiram viralgalil alla
Nor something I can capture with a thousand fingers
Naetrai kanden un kannil
I saw yesterday in your eyes
Pudhidhaai pirandhen un nenjil
I was reborn anew in your heart
Araikkul peiyum mazhai pola
Like rain falling inside a room
Enakkul vandhaai mun naalil
You entered into me the other day
Yaaro ezhudhi micham vaitha
Left behind by someone who wrote it
Kavithai vari pol paarkindraai
You look at me like a line of poetry
Mudhalil kodutha mutham pola
Like the very first kiss given
Uyirai eduthaai
You stole my soul away
Nee yaaro evalo alla
You are not just anyone or a stranger
Naan ezhettu varigalil solla
For me to describe you in seven or eight lines
Nee alaiyo mazhaiyo alla
You are not merely a wave or rain
Naan aayiram viralgalil alla
Nor something I can capture with a thousand fingers
