Aa haa..aa haa..aahaa..
Kamban engu ponaan
Shelley enna aanaan
Nammai paadaamal
Laila sethu ponaal
Majnu sethu ponaan
Nammai paaraamal
Kanneerae illaadha kaadhal soothiram
Kandomae kandomae naangal maathiram
Idhu oru pudhu murai
Idhil enna varai murai
Varugira thalaimurai
Vanangattum iruvarai
Kamban engu ponaan
Shelley enna aanaan
Nammai paadaamal
Kamban engu ponaan
Shelley enna aanaan
Nammai paadaamal
Idhu kaiyil kattiya thaali
Palar kazhuthil ulladhu poli
Indha kurugiya vattam ini sari varumaa
Ungal kottukkul mazhai peiyummaa
Anai vittu thaaviya vellam
Idhu kattu kaavalai vellum
Ungal vidhigalum sadhigalum nirandharammaa
Idhu vilangitta sudhandhiramaa
Engal peyarai yaarum kaetaal
Pir..iririririr enbom
Engalukkullae enna uravendraal
Pir..iririririr enbom
Vilangugal thadai illai
Vidhigalum thadai illai
Marabugal thadai illai
Manidharum thadai illai
Kamban engu ponaan
Shelley enna aanaan
Nammai paadaamal
Kamban engu ponaan
Shelley enna aanaan
Nammai paadaamal
Kamban engu ponaan
Shelley enna aanaan
Nammai paadaamal
Idhu yudhdham ilamai yudhdham
Ini duchcham uravugal duchcham
Ungal kattu dhittam satta dhittam
Thalli vaiyungal
Illai kadalukkul thalli vidungal
Ada puththam pudhiyadhu sondham
Idhu mutham ezhudhiya bandham
Ini ilaiyavar engalukku kural kodungal
Ada pazhaiyavar vazhi vidungal
Kaadhalai thaduththavar
Kadhai enna aanadhu
Pir..iririririr dhaanae
Kai konda vilangum
Naangal ninaithaal
Pir..iririririr dhaanae
Ninaippadhu nadakkanum
Idhu engal ilakkanam
Ini varum thalaimurai
Idhai mattum padikkanum
Kamban engu ponaan
Shelley enna aanaan
Nammai paadaamal
Laila sethu ponaal
Majnu sethu ponaan
Nammai paaraamal
Kanneerae illaadha kaadhal soothiram
Kandomae kandomae naangal maathiram
Idhu oru pudhu murai
Idhil enna varai murai
Varugira thalaimurai
Vanangattum iruvarai
Kamban engu ponaan

Nammai paadaamal
Kamban engu ponaan

Nammai paadaamal
Aha.. aha.. aha..
Where did Kamban go?
What happened to Shelley?
Without singing of us?
Laila died,
Majnu died,
Without ever seeing us!
A formula for love with no tears at all,
We alone discovered it, only we!
This is a brand new way,
What restrictions can bind it?
Let the coming generation
Bow to the two of us!
Where did Kamban go?
What happened to Shelley?
Without singing of us?
Where did Kamban go?
What happened to Shelley?
Without singing of us?
This is a thaali (sacred wedding thread) tied around the wrist,
What hangs around many necks is just fake!
Will this narrow circle work anymore?
Can rain fall only inside the lines you draw?
Like a flood leaping past a broken dam,
This will overcome every guard and barrier!
Are your rules and conspiracies permanent?
Can freedom ever be chained?
If anyone asks for our names,
We will just say, "Brrr-riri-riri!"
If they ask what our relationship is,
We will just say, "Brrr-riri-riri!"
Handcuffs are no barrier,
Rules are no barrier,
Traditions are no barrier,
People are no barrier!
Where did Kamban go?
What happened to Shelley?
Without singing of us?
Where did Kamban go?
What happened to Shelley?
Without singing of us?
Where did Kamban go?
What happened to Shelley?
Without singing of us?
This is war, a war of youth!
From now on, old relations mean nothing!
Your strict rules and legal codes—
Push them aside,
Or throw them into the sea!
Ah, this relationship is brand new,
This is a bond sealed with a kiss!
Young people, raise your voices for us now!
Old-timers, clear the path!
Those who tried to stop love,
What happened to their story?
It vanished with a "Brrr-riri-riri!"
Even the chains locked on our hands,
If we set our minds to it,
Will snap away with a "Brrr-riri-riri!"
What we desire must happen,
This is our rule!
The generations to come
Need only learn this!
Where did Kamban go?
What happened to Shelley?
Without singing of us?
Laila died,
Majnu died,
Without ever seeing us!
A formula for love with no tears at all,
We alone discovered it, only we!
This is a brand new way,
What restrictions can bind it?
Let the coming generation
Bow to the two of us!
Where did Kamban go?
What happened to Shelley?
Without singing of us?
Where did Kamban go?
What happened to Shelley?
Without singing of us?
