Kaathirunthen unaku than
Kaalam ini namaku than
Kattupaadu ennathuku
Kitta vaaya en kannathuku
Vetti bandha atha vituputu
Jenmathuku naama katupatu
Unna vitta enakkaaru iruka
Kanna moodi enna paathu kaatu
Chinna pulla usirum un koodaruku
Idha pola oru kadha engirukku
Kaathirunthen unaku than
Kaalam ini namaku than
Kattupaadu ennathuku
Kitta vaaya en kannathuku
Naan poranthen adhu unaku than
Nambi vanthen vaa namaku than
Naan uduthum alangaaram ellam
Vesam illa en chellaiyah
Ho ezhuthum ezhuthula unna enna
Arinju vechathu yen saami
Andha ezhuthu maarathan vazhiye illa
En usura enkitta kodu sami
Ada eppavum un nenapu
Nidham yenguthu en polapu
Kaathirunthen unaku than

Vaakapada naan aasapaten
Vaazha vanthu enna aalaya
Paasathukku pasum kannu pola
Banthathukku ini naanaiyaa
Oh ulagam pesum oru madhiri
Nidham nenapil manasu padam maaruthe
Nilavu kaathum paadum paatula
Unna nenachu en raasa
Parapen rekka viripen
Un usuril naanum kalapen
Kaathirunthen unaku than

Chinna pulla usirum un koodaruku
Idha pola oru kadha engirukku
Kaathirunthen unaku than
Kaalam ini namaku than
Kattupaadu ennathuku
Kitta vaaya en kannathuku
I have been waiting only for you
From now on, time belongs to us
Why do we need any restrictions?
Come close to my cheek
Let go of all that pointless pride
Bound to each other for a lifetime
Who else do I have besides you?
Close your eyes and take care of me
This young girl's life is right there with you
Where else can a story like this be found?
I have been waiting only for you
From now on, time belongs to us
Why do we need any restrictions?
Come close to my cheek
I was born only for you
I came trusting you; come, it is our time
All the dressing up I do
Is not just for show, my darling
Oh, in the destiny written above
Why did God bring you and me together?
There is no way for that fate to change
Give my life back to me, oh God
Ah, I think of you all the time
Every day, my life longs for you
I have been waiting only for you
From now on, time belongs to us
Why do we need any restrictions?
Come close to my cheek
I longed to become your wife
Come live with me and rule over me
Like a tender calf full of affection
I am here for our bond from now on
Oh, the world talks in its own way
Yet thinking of you, my heart's picture changes every day
In the song sung by the moon and the breeze
Thinking of you, my king
I will spread my wings and fly
I will merge into your very soul
I have been waiting only for you
From now on, time belongs to us
Why do we need any restrictions?
Come close to my cheek
Let go of all that pointless pride
Bound to each other for a lifetime
Who else do I have besides you?
Close your eyes and take care of me
This young girl's life is right there with you
Where else can a story like this be found?
I have been waiting only for you
From now on, time belongs to us
Why do we need any restrictions?
Come close to my cheek
