| Kai pesi enn kooda sollaamalae | Without telling my mobile phone, |
| Kai veesi sendraalae nillaamalae | She waved her hand and walked away without stopping. |

| Pothaatho naan vaazhum kaalam varai | Isn't seeing her enough for as long as I live? |

மற்றும் யுவன் சங்கர் ராஜா
Without telling my mobile phone,
She waved her hand and walked away without stopping.
Today, I saw the auspicious crescent moon,
Isn't seeing her enough for as long as I live?
கைபேசி எண் கூட சொல்லாமலே
கை வீசி சென்றாளே நில்லாமலே
நான் இன்று கண்டேனே மூன்றாம் பிறை
போதாதோ நான் வாழும் காலம் வரை
Her beauty boils even more
Than a blazing fire!
As it boils and boils, in sheer joy,
My heart leaps up and down!
அவளின் அழகு அனலை விடவும்
அதிகம் கொதிக்குதே
கொதிக்க கொதிக்க குஷியில் எனது
இதயம் குதிக்குதே
Upon whom love will bloom and when,
Who can say? It strikes without a word!
My horoscope has a fortune of love!
யார் மீது காதல் எப்போது பூக்கும்
யார் சொல்ல கூடும் சொல்லாமல் தாக்கும்
என் ஜாதகம் காதல் யோகம்
Without telling my mobile phone,
She waved her hand and walked away without stopping.
Today, I saw the auspicious crescent moon,
Isn't seeing her enough for as long as I live?
கைபேசி எண் கூட சொல்லாமலே
கை வீசி சென்றாளே நில்லாமலே
நான் இன்று கண்டேனே மூன்றாம் பிறை
போதாதோ நான் வாழும் காலம் வரை
Naana naana naana naana naana naanaa
Naana naana naana naana naana naana naana naa
Mmm....mm...mm....mm...
னான னான னான னான னான னானா
னான னான னான னான னான னான னா
ம்ம்ம்.....ம்ம்.....ம்ம்....ம்ம்......
Saying there is no room for anyone in my heart,
I locked it every single day with a latch.
Breaking it open, you entered inside!
I surrendered my destiny into your hands.
இதயத்தில் யார்க்கும் இடமில்லை என்று
தினசரி தாழ் போட்டு நான் பூட்டினேன்
உடைத்ததை நீயே உள் புகுந்தாயே
தலை விதி உன் கையில் நான் மாட்டினேன்
When the whole world is fast asleep,
You churn my life like curd!
Dizzy with overwhelming emotions,
You bore into my mind like a beetle into a flower, oo...oo...oo...oo...
உலகெல்லாம் உறங்கையில்
உயிரை நீ தயிரை போல் கடைகிறாய்
உணர்ச்சியில் கிறங்கையில்
மனதை நீ மலர் வண்டாய் குடைகிறாய் ஒ.....ஓ....ஒ...ஓ...
The letter that you write especially for me,
My dear, I read it on your Facebook page!
Frequently, losing my balance,
I keep falling, my darling,
Just into your graceful look!
எனக்கென நீ தான் எழுதிடும் கடிதம்
படிக்கிறேன் அன்பே உன் ஃபேஸ் புக்கில்தான்
அடிக்கடி நான்தான் நிலை தடுமாறி
விழுகிறேன் கண்ணே
உன் கிரேஸ் லுக்கில் தான்
You are an unanswered question,
Extending endlessly like the coal scam scandal!
Shattering every obstacle,
You rule over this slave like a queen, oo...oo...oo...oo...
விடை இல்லா கேள்வி நீ
நிலக்கரி ஊழல் போல் நீள்கிறாய்
தடைகளை தகர்த்து நீ
அடிமையை அரசி போல் ஆள்கிறாய் ஒ.....ஓ....ஒ...ஓ...
Without telling my mobile phone,
She waved her hand and walked away without stopping.
