விக்னேஷ் சிவன்
My dear, apple of my eye,
My dear, apple of my eye,
My sweetheart, my sweetheart,
கண்ணே கண்மணியே
கண்ணே கண்மணியே
கண்மணி கண்மணி
Tears shouldn't fill your eyes, my sweetheart,
Tears shouldn't fill your eyes,
Though we are like flowers wilting among thorns,
Never yearn in sorrow,
Our sweet fragrance will never fade,
My sweetheart, my darling,
கண்ணில் ஈரம் கூடாதே
கண்மணியே கண்ணில் ஈரம் கூடாதே
முள்ளில் வாடும் பூவே நாம்
என்றும் ஏங்காதே
வாசனையும் மாறாதே
கண்மணி கண்மணியே
My dear, apple of my eye,
My dear, apple of my eye,
My sweetheart, my sweetheart,
கண்ணே கண்மணியே
கண்ணே கண்மணியே
கண்மணி கண்மணி
Don't overwhelm my heart like this, my sweetheart,
Don't overwhelm my heart like this,
Even if everything in this world changes,
Don't go beyond my sight,
My sweetheart, my darling
என்னை எதோ செய்யாதே கண்மணியே
என்னை எதோ செய்யாதே
மண்ணில் உள்ள எல்லாமே மாறி போனாலும்
என் கண்ணை மீறி போகாதே
கண்மணி கண்மணியே

It serves as a gentle lullaby and plea for intimacy, emphasizing that no matter how much the world around them changes, their love and physical presence must remain unshakeable and within sight.
