| Male | |
| Kan irandil modhi | Colliding in your two eyes |
| Naan vizhundhenae | I fell down |
| Kaaranam indriyae naan sirithenae | I smiled without any reason |
| En manathum yeno ennidam illai | I do not know why my heart is not with me |
| Vendiyae unnidam naan tholaithenae | I intentionally lost it to you |
| Male | |
| En uyirin uyirae | Oh life of my life |
| En iravin nilavae | Oh moon of my night |
| Un arugil varavae | To come near you |
| Nee tharuvaai varamae…ohooo | May you grant me a boon... ohooo |
| Male | |
| Oorukkullae kodi ponnu | Among ten million girls in this town |

கண் இரண்டில் மோதி
நான் விழுந்தேனே
காரணம் இன்றியே
நான் சிரித்தேனே
என் மனமும் ஏனோ
என்னிடம் இல்லை
வேண்டியே உன்னிடம்
நான் தொலைத்தேனே
Colliding in your two eyes
I fell down
I smiled without any reason
I do not know why my heart is not with me
I intentionally lost it to you
என் உயிரின் உயிரே
என் இரவின் நிலவே
உன் அருகில் வரவே
நீ தருவாய் வரமே
Oh life of my life
Oh moon of my night
To come near you
May you grant me a boon... ohooo
ஊருக்குள்ளே கோடி பொண்ணு
யாரையும் நினைக்கலையே
உந்தன் முகம் பார்த்த பின்னே
எதுவும் பிடிக்கலியே
Among ten million girls in this town
I did not think of anyone
After seeing your face
I did not like anything else
உன்னுடைய பார்வையிலே
என் உடம்பு வேகுதடி
பக்கத்திலே நீ இருந்தா
என் வயசு நோகுதடி
In your glance
My body heats up, girl
If you are nearby
My youth aches, girl
கண் இரண்டில் மோதி
நான் விழுந்தேனே
காரணம் இன்றியே
நான் சிரித்தேனே
என் மனமும் ஏனோ
என்னிடம் இல்லை
வேண்டியே உன்னிடம்
நான் தொலைத்தேனே
Colliding in your two eyes
I fell down
I smiled without any reason
I do not know why my heart is not with me
I intentionally lost it to you
ஏதோ ஒண்ணு சொல்ல
என் நெஞ்சுகுழி தள்ள
நீ பொத்தி வச்ச ஆசை எல்லாம்
கண்ணுமுன்னே தள்ளாட
கண்ணாமூச்சி ஆட்டம்
என் கண்ணுக்குள்ளே ஆட
நீ சொல்லும் சொல்லே கேக்காமலே
உந்தன் உள்ளம் திண்டாட
Ooooo to say something
My chest falters
All the desires you kept hidden
Totter right before my eyes
A game of hide and seek
Plays inside my eyes
Without even hearing the words you speak
Your heart struggles
உள்ளுக்குள்ளே படபடக்க
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே சிறகடிக்க
கால் இரண்டும் ரெக்க கட்டி
மேலே கீழே பரபரக்க
பட்டுப்பூச்சி பட்டாம் பூச்சி ஆனேனே
Fluttering inside
Wings flapping inside my heart
Both feet tied with wings
Flying restlessly up and down
I became a silkworm and a butterfly
ம்ம்ம்....ம்ம்ம்...ஹ்ம்ம்...ம்ம்ம்
ம்ம்ம்....ம்ம்ம்...ஹ்ம்ம்...ம்ம்ம்
Mmm... mmm... hmmm... mmm....
Mmm... mmm... hmmm... mmm....
உன் முத்து முத்து பேச்சு
என் சங்கீதமா ஆச்சு
உன் சுண்டு விரல் தீண்டையில
நின்னு போச்சு என் மூச்சு
பஞ்சு மெத்த மேகம்
அது செஞ்சு வெச்ச தேகம்
நீ தூரத்தில நின்னா கூட
பொங்கிடுது என் முகம்
Your pearl-like speech
Became my music
When your pinky finger touched
My breath stopped
A cloud like a soft cotton bed
That is how your body was crafted
Even if you stand at a distance
My face glows with joy
முட்ட கண்ணு முழி அழகில்
குத்தி குத்தி கொன்னவளே
சிக்கி கிட்ட என் மனச
ஊற வெச்சு துவச்சவளே
ஆத்துக்குள்ள அம்மி கல்லா போறேனே
With the beauty of your wide round eyes
You stabbed and killed me
My heart that got caught
You soaked and washed it
I am sinking like a grinding stone in the river
ஊருக்குள்ளே கோடி பொண்ணு
யாரையும் நினைக்கலையே
உந்தன் முகம் பார்த்த பின்னே
எதுவும் பிடிக்கலியே
Among ten million girls in this town
I did not think of anyone
After seeing your face
I did not like anything else
உன்னுடைய பார்வையிலே
