கண்ணழகா காலழகா
பொன்னழகா..... பெண் அழகா
எங்கேயோ தேடி செல்லும் விரல் அழகா
என் கைகள் கோர்த்து கொள்ளும் விதம் அழகா
Oh handsome one with beautiful eyes.. beautiful feet
Golden beauty.. beautiful woman
Beautiful are the fingers that search out towards somewhere
Beautiful is the way they entwine with my hands
உயிரே உயிரே உனைவிட எதுவும்
உயரில் பெரிதாய் இல்லையடி
அழகே அழகே உனைவிட எதுவும்
அழகில் அழகாய் இல்லையடி
Oh my life, my life, nothing else
Is greater than you in my life, my girl
Oh beauty, beauty, nothing else
Is more beautiful than beauty itself, my girl
எங்கேயோ பார்க்கிறாய்
என்னென்ன சொல்கிறாய்
எல்லைகள் தாண்டிட
மாயங்கள் செய்கிறாய்
You look somewhere far away
What all things do you say?
To cross all boundaries
You perform magic
உனக்குள் பார்க்கிறேன்
உள்ளதை சொல்கிறேன்
உன்னுயிர் சேர்ந்திட
நான் வழி பார்க்கிறேன்
I look within you
I express what is in my heart
To unite with your life force
I am looking for a way
இதழும் இதழும்
இணையட்டுமே
புதியதாய் வழிகள் இல்லை
இமைகள் மூடி அருகினில் வா
இதுபோல் எதுவும் இல்லை
Let lips and lips
Join together
There are no new ways needed
Close your eyelids and come near me
There is nothing quite like this
உனக்குள் பார்க்கவா
உள்ளதை கேட்கவா
என்னுயிர் சேர்ந்திட
நான் வழி சொல்லவா
Shall I look inside you?
Shall I ask what is in your heart?
For my life to unite with yours
Shall I show you the way?
கண்ணழகே பேரழகே
பெண் அழகே என்னழகே
Oh beautiful eyes, ultimate beauty
Feminine beauty, my own beauty
உயிரே உயிரே உனைவிட எதுவும்
உயரில் பெரிதாய் இல்லையடி
Oh my life, my life, nothing else
Is greater than you in my life, my girl
Kannazhaga.. kaalazhaga
Oh handsome one with beautiful eyes.. beautiful feet
Ponnazhaga.. penn azhaga
Golden beauty.. beautiful woman
Engaeyo thaedi sellum.. viral azhaga
Beautiful are the fingers that search out towards somewhere
En kaigal korthu kollum vidham azhaga
Beautiful is the way they entwine with my hands
Uyirae uyirae unaivida edhuvum
Oh my life, my life, nothing else
Uyril peridhaai illayadi
Is greater than you in my life, my girl
Azhagae azhagae unaivida edhuvum
Oh beauty, beauty, nothing else
Azhagil azhagaai illaiyadi
Is more beautiful than beauty itself, my girl
Engaeyo paarkiraai
You look somewhere far away
Ennenna solgiraai
What all things do you say?
Ellaigal thaandida
To cross all boundaries
Maayangam seikiraai
You perform magic
Unnakul paarkiren
I look within you
Ulladhai solgiren
I express what is in my heart
Unnuyir serndhida
To unite with your life force
Naan vazhi paarkiren
I am looking for a way
Idhazhum idhazhum
Let lips and lips
Innaiyattumae
Join together
pudhidhaai vazhigal illai
There are no new ways needed
Male :Immaigal moodi aruginil vaa
Close your eyelids and come near me
Idhupol edhuvum illai
There is nothing quite like this
Unnakul paarkava
Shall I look inside you?
Ulladhai ketkkava
Shall I ask what is in your heart?
Ennuyir serndhida
For my life to unite with yours
Naan vazhi sollava
Shall I show you the way?
Kannazhagae perazhagae
Oh beautiful eyes, ultimate beauty
Penn azhagae ennazhagae
Feminine beauty, my own beauty
Uyirae uyirae unaivida edhuvum
Oh my life, my life, nothing else
Uyril peridhaai illayadi
Is greater than you in my life, my girl

Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Kannazhaga.. kaalazhaga / Ponnazhaga.. penn azhaga”
The second consonant 'n' (ன) is repeated across adjacent lines (Kannazhaga / Ponnazhaga), creating a rhythmic Tamil poetic harmony.
Anaphora (Repetition for Emphasis)
“Uyirae uyirae unaivida edhuvum”
The repetition of 'Uyirae uyirae' and 'Azhagae azhagae' emphasizes intense passion and emotional warmth.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Engaeyo paarkiraai / Ennenna solgiraai / Maayangam seikiraai”
Matching end sounds ('paarkiraai', 'solgiraai', 'seikiraai') generate a musical flow in the stanza.
