Kanna veesi kanna veesi

Katti podum kaadhali

Kannu rendum

Muththam kekkudhae

Konji pesi konji pesi

Kooru pottu pora di

Thundu thunda aasai kooduthae

Lesaa azhagula

Thaana vizhuguren

Nee pesi sirikkaiyil

Un udhattula uraiyuren

Vaazhka vaazha thaan

Unnodu irukkuren

Un kooda nadakkum bothu

Mazhaiyillama nenainju poguren

Kanna veesi kanna veesi

Katti podum kaadhali

Kannu rendum

Konji pesi konji pesi

Kooru pottu pora di

Thundu thunda aasai kooduthae

Adada enakkenna aaguthu

Throwing playful glances,

The girl who captivates me,

Both my eyes

Are asking for a kiss.

Speaking so tenderly,

You cut me into pieces,

And piece by piece, my desires grow.

Gently, into your beauty,

I find myself falling.

When you talk and smile,

I freeze looking at your lips.

Just to truly live life,

I stay by your side.

When I walk with you,

I get drenched even without rain.

Throwing playful glances,

The girl who captivates me,

Both my eyes

Are asking for a kiss.

Speaking so tenderly,

You cut me into pieces,

And piece by piece, my desires grow.

Oh my, what is happening to me?

All the paths I took every day,

I keep forgetting them now.

Whenever I am standing alone,

Thoughts of you alone

Rush through me like an endless high.

I live completely just for you.

I see a new me every single day.

If I cry, I will lean on your shoulder.

I love you without any limits.

Aimlessly and carelessly,

The days that once slipped away

Are changing now to say,

"You are my everything."

When there is no one around,

Even after the quiet hours come,

Beside you, a love

I have found, my girl.

Gently, into your beauty,

I find myself falling.

When you talk and smile,

I freeze looking at your lips.

Just to truly live life,

I stay by your side.

When I walk with you,

I get drenched even without rain.

Throwing playful glances,

The girl who captivates me,

Both my eyes

Are asking for a kiss.

Writing down my very life,

I fold it and give it to you.

As your breath of air,

I will be with you till the end.

Writing down my very life,

I fold it and give it to you.
