| Kangal edho | My eyes look for something |
| Theda kalavaada | To search for and steal away |
| Nenjam thaanae | My heart on its own |
| Paada parandhoda | Sings and flies away |
| Male | |
| Adi ovvoru raappozhudhum | Hey, every single night |
| Ona appadi naan rasichen | I admired you so deeply |
| Uyir kolludhu onnenappu | The thought of you slays my soul |
| Kanmaniye..oh | Oh, my dear apple of my eye.. oh |
| Male | |
| Oru aayiram vaanavilla | A thousand rainbows |
| Onpoovizhi kaattudahdi | Your flower-like eyes show me |
| Adha sattunnu nee marachaa | If you suddenly hide them |
| Naan enna seiven pulla | What will I do, my dear girl? |

My eyes look for something
To search for and steal away
My heart on its own
Sings and flies away
கண்கள் எதோ
தேட களவாடா
நெஞ்சம் தானே
பாட பறந்தோட
Hey, every single night
I admired you so deeply
The thought of you slays my soul
Oh, my dear apple of my eye.. oh
அடி ஒவ்வொரு ராப்பொழுதும்
ஒன அப்படி நான் ரசிச்சேன்
உயிர் கொல்லுது ஒன் நெனப்பு
கண்மணியே
A thousand rainbows
Your flower-like eyes show me
If you suddenly hide them
What will I do, my dear girl?
ஒரு ஆயிரம் வானவில்ல
ஒன்பூவிழி காட்டுதடி
அத சட்டுன்னு நீ மறச்சா
நான் என்ன செய்வேன் புள்ள
My eyes look for something
To search for and steal away
My heart on its own
Sings and flies away
கண்கள் எதோ
தேட களவாட
நெஞ்சம் தானே
பாட பறந்தோட
In playful conversation
You prick me like a venomous needle
When you cast a gentle glance
Lightning strikes around
முனகல் :
..............
Your face filled with light
Collides straight with my heart
The words that you speak
Oh, they completely sweep me away
வெளயாட்டு பேச்சுல
வெஷ ஊசி ஏத்துற
நீ லேசா பாக்க
மின்னல் கொட்டிடுதே
So many unknown things to you
I feel like expressing, my dear
Love arrived so suddenly
And sifts through me like a sieve
ஒளி பாஞ்ச ஒன் முகம்
மனசோட மோதுதே
நீ பேசும் பேச்சு
அய்யோ அள்ளிடுதே
In the core of my heart, your fragrance
Does so many things to me
This unbearable happiness
What will I do, my dear girl?
என்னென்னவோ ஒங்கிட்ட
சொல்லவும் தோணுதடா
காதல் வந்தே சட்டுன்னு
சல்லடா போடுதடா
My eyes look for something
To search for and steal away
My heart on its own
Sings and flies away
நடு நெஞ்சுல ஒன்னோட வாசம்
என்ன ஏதேதோ பண்ணுதடி
தங்காத சந்தோஷம்
நான் என்ன செய்வன் புள்ள
Hey, every single night
I admired you so deeply
The thought of you slays my soul
Oh, my dear apple of my eye.. oh
கண்கள் எதோ
தேட களவாடா
நெஞ்சம் தானே
பாட பறந்தோட
A thousand rainbows
Your flower-like eyes show me
If you suddenly hide them
What will I do, my dear girl?
அடி ஒவ்வொரு ராப்பொழுதும்
ஒன அப்படி நான் ரசிச்சேன்
உயிர் கொல்லுது ஒன் நெனப்பு
கண்மணியே
ஒரு ஆயிரம் வானவில்ல
ஒன்பூவிழி காட்டுதடி
அத சட்டுன்னு நீ மறச்சா
நான் என்ன செய்வேன் புள்ள

Hey, every single night
Ona appadi naan rasichen
I admired you so deeply
Uyir kolludhu onnenappu
The thought of you slays my soul
Kanmaniye..oh
Oh, my dear apple of my eye.. oh
Oru aayiram vaanavilla

Lightning strikes around
Oli paanja onmugam
Your face filled with light
Manasoda modhuthe
Collides straight with my heart

Love arrived so suddenly
Sallada poduthadaa
And sifts through me like a sieve
Nadu nenjula onnoda vaasam
In the core of my heart, your fragrance

Thaangaadha sandhosam
This unbearable happiness
Naan enna seiven pulla

Your flower-like eyes show me
Adha sattunnu nee marachaa
If you suddenly hide them
Naan enna seiven pulla
What will I do, my dear girl?
