Hmm mm mm hmm mm mm
Yedhedho enakkul mayakkam
Puriyaadha pudhiraai midhakkum
Pirivondril piriyum rasikkum
Thedal thodanguthada
Arugil nee atra tharunam
Azhagaai orr bodhai thaan
Thalai kothi pesiya vaarthai

Mmm mm mm mmm mm mm
A strange dizziness comes over me,
Floating like a mystery I cannot solve.
Even separation begins to feel sweet,
And my search for you begins.
In the moments when you are not near,
There is a beautiful intoxication.
The words you spoke while running your fingers through my hair,
Turn into fond ramblings in my mind.
My hand searches for your fingers.
On this night without a little kiss,
Your shirt stays beside me as company.
I wander, searching for your scent.
Love is a treasure,
Granted by time, I have realized.
My stubborn pride as a woman crumbles,
O thief who stole my heart,
O thief who stole my heart!
Mmm...
In the early evening,
I want you beside me along with music.
My heart longs for you like a little child, my dear.
My feet do not touch the ground,
As the days slowly drift by.
The yearning to be near you only grows.
The rooms ask for your scent,
And without speaking much,
My love, our potted plants bloom just for you,
Waiting and yearning for you.
My partner in love, my companion,
In everything I see, it is only you.
O moon whom my eyes search for,
I will come back, just for you.
