Kannadi nilave kal erindhu unaiyae

Sukku nooraai udaithu vitten

Ippodhu azhagae unnai allai edhuthe

Otti kolla virumbhugiren

Dhooramaai unai veesinen

En vaanilae irulai poosinen

Maruthe unai theduthae

Oru thadai vanthu peru malaiyaai varuthae

En thanimaiyai adhu nerupaai suduthae

Aruginil vara manam thaan thaduthaal

O moon of glass, throwing a stone at you,

I shattered you into a hundred pieces.

Now, my beautiful one, gathering your pieces in my hands,

I long to put you back together.

I threw you far away,

and smeared darkness across my own sky.

Yet it searches for you again,

an obstacle rises like a great mountain,

and burns my loneliness like fire.

When my heart longs to come near,

a hand holds me back.

Thinking of what happened, hurting all alone,

this sorrow does not fade, my love.

If only we speak, everything will change;

if we put it into words, our bond will live on.

Shall I melt your heart, shall I truly feel you?

What is it that is stopping me?

Pity this helpless heart that aches in pain.

O moon of glass, throwing a stone at you,

I shattered you into a hundred pieces.

Female: Hold my hand, gaze into my eyes,

and speak to me, my love.

My soul yearns to speak,

yet my words shut the door.

Female: The heart will change and urge you on.

Male: I yearn desperately to be near you,

and float like a tiny leaf upon the sound of your voice.

I realized that you are a whole world to me,

and I rushed here to tell you.

O moon of glass, throwing a stone at you,

I shattered you into a hundred pieces.

Now, my beautiful one, gathering your pieces in my hands,

I long to put you back together.
