| Male | |
| Enname en unnala | My thoughts are all because of you, |
| Ulla puguthunthu thannala | Creeping deep inside automatically. |
| Kanname en kannala | My cheeks, oh my eyes, |
| Vendhu sevandhu punnaga | Turn red and blush into a smile. |
| Male | |
| Yedho naanum ulara | I babble aimlessly, |
| Konjom kaadhal valara | As love grows a little more, |
| Ulla vetkam valara | As shyness grows within, |
| Aava vandha thediye | Searching for the desire that arrived. |
| Male | |
| Thanna neram nikkuthu | Time stands still on its own, |
| Mogam sokkuthu | Desire mesmerizes and spellbinds, |
| Varthai thikkudhamma | Words stutter and falter, my dear. |
| Nenja pootti vechatha | The heart that I kept locked away, |
| Vandhu odachittamaa | Did you come and break it open? |
| Male | |
| Katchi sera nikkuthu | Waiting here to join your side, |
| Kan azhaikkuthu | Your eyes beckon me, |
| Pon aninthidavaa | Shall I adorn you with gold? |
| Anbu theangi nikkuthu | Love stands stagnant and overflowing, |
| Vandhu eduthukkomaa | Won't you come and take it? |
| Male | |
| Yaarum paarthu ninnu pesavilla | No one ever stood, looked, and talked to me, |
| Kaathu ninnu kuduthathilla | No one ever waited and gave anything to me. |
| Neeyum vandhu paarthathala | Because you came and looked at me, |
| Paniyum paththikiche | Even the cool dew caught fire! |
| Male | |
| Kan marachu pora pulla | Girl who hides her eyes and walks away, |
| Mun azhachathum yaarumilla | No one has called out to me before. |
| Un manasil thaan vizhunthen | I fell right inside your heart, |
| Naanum thangidave | Just to stay there forever. |

எண்ணமே ஏன் உன்னால
உள்ள புகுந்தது தன்னால
கண்ணமே என் கண்ணால
வேந்து செவந்து புண்ணாக
My thoughts are all because of you,
Creeping deep inside automatically.
My cheeks, oh my eyes,
Turn red and blush into a smile.
ஏதோ நானும் உளற
கொஞ்சம் காதல் வளர
உள்ள வெட்கம் வளர
அவ வந்தா தேடியே
I babble aimlessly,
As love grows a little more,
As shyness grows within,
Searching for the desire that arrived.
தன்ன நேரம் நிக்குது
மோகம் சொக்குது
வார்த்தை திக்குதம்மா
நெஞ்சில் பூட்டி வெச்சத
வந்து ஒடைச்சிட்டம்மா
Time stands still on its own,
Desire mesmerizes and spellbinds,
Words stutter and falter, my dear.
The heart that I kept locked away,
Did you come and break it open?
கட்சி சேர நிக்குது
கண் அழைக்குது
பொன் அடைந்திட வா
அன்பு தேங்கி நிக்குது
வந்து எடுத்துக்கோமா
Waiting here to join your side,
Your eyes beckon me,
Shall I adorn you with gold?
Love stands stagnant and overflowing,
Won't you come and take it?
யாரும் பார்த்து நின்னு பேசவில்ல
காத்து நின்னு கொடுத்ததில்ல
நீயும் வந்து பார்த்ததால
பனியும் பத்திக்கிச்சே
No one ever stood, looked, and talked to me,
No one ever waited and gave anything to me.
Because you came and looked at me,
Even the cool dew caught fire!
கண் மறச்சு போற புள்ள
முன் அழைச்சதும் யாருமில்ல
உன் மனசில்தான் விழுந்தேன்
நானும் தங்கிடவே
Girl who hides her eyes and walks away,
No one has called out to me before.
I fell right inside your heart,
Just to stay there forever.
ஹெய் எண்ணமே ஏன் உன்னால
உள்ள புகுந்தது தன்னால
கண்ணமே என் கண்ணால
வேந்து செவந்து புண்ணாக
Oh, my thoughts are all because of you,
Creeping deep inside automatically.
My cheeks, oh my eyes,
Turn red and blush into a smile.
ஏதோ நானும் உளற
கொஞ்சம் காதல் வளர
உள்ள வெட்கம் வளர
அவ வந்தா தேடியே
I babble aimlessly,
As love grows a little more,
As shyness grows within,
Searching for the desire that arrived.
தன்ன நேரம் நிக்குது
மோகம் சொக்குது
வார்த்தை திக்குதம்மா
நெஞ்சில் பூட்டி வெச்சத
வந்து ஒடைச்சிட்டம்மா
Time stands still on its own,
Desire mesmerizes and spellbinds,
Words stutter and falter, my dear.
The heart that I kept locked away,
Did you come and break it open?
கட்சி சேர நிக்குது
கண் அழைக்குது
பொன் அடைந்திட வா
அன்பு தேங்கி நிக்குது
வந்து எடுத்துக்கோமா
Waiting here to join your side,
Your eyes beckon me,
Shall I adorn you with gold?
Love stands stagnant and overflowing,
Won't you come and take it?
