Kanavaga vandhaval neeye
Ninaivaagi ponaval neeye
Uyiraaga ninaichava naane

Manasaala manasa mattum
Vittu pona idhyam rendu
Serthu vaika vaadi konjam
Manasu ketkuthae

Un ninaivalae naan irukindren
Un ninaivalae naan irupadhainalae
En manam yavum inaikirathae…
Paarvayala thooki pona

Thooki pona paarvaikuthaan

You are the one who came as a dream
You are the one who became just a memory
I am the one who loved you as my very life
And the dream has shattered
Heart drifting away from heart
The two hearts that parted ways
Please come to bring them back together
My heart keeps asking you
Come, my beautiful one
Come, my life
I live on through your memories
Because I live in your thoughts
All of my heart feels so sweet
You swept me away with just a glance
Why did you forget me, my gentle deer?
For that very gaze that stole me away
I am lying here waiting
The heart that waited for you
Because you burned it down
My two faded eyes
Have completely lost their way
Come, my sweet nectar
Come, my shadow
I walk guided by your shadow
As I walk along my journey
My path turns with your shadow
You are the dream filled with love
You are also the life that turned bitter
I am living only because of you
Forever and ever
For a bond where poetry is born
For the words my heart yearns for
For love throughout my entire life
I will wait forever
Come, my beautiful one
Come, my life
I live on through your memories
Because I live in your thoughts
All of my heart feels so sweet
Deep in my soul, my heart
Begs and pleads to love you
As it begs, my body yearns even more
Come, my love, come
Your glance alone
Makes tears trickle down
Yet I am still here for you
Come, my life, come
Come, my sweet nectar
Come, my shadow
I walk guided by your shadow
As I walk along my journey
My path turns with your shadow
You are the one who came as a dream
You are the one who became just a memory
I am the one who loved you as my very life
And the dream has shattered
Heart drifting away from heart
The two hearts that parted ways
Please come to bring them back together
My heart keeps asking you
