♫ Tanglish lyrics
↻ English translation
Nizhala pola un kadhal
Nimidamum enna piriyamal
Muzhusa ava kuduthuta
Enna manasa solaya parichita
Kadhal vedhaya ada aalama pottu vedhachita
Kurinji poo pola keadachale
Ava karumbu kannaka romba inichale
Manushana enna mathichale
Andha paarvaiyaala enna sedhachale
Adada ava manasuku
Antha oscara nee tha thara sollu
Ivaloda azhagukku
Antha kurinji pookke nee bye sollu
Dhoorama dhoorama ava ponale
Sogama sanji dhan na poneanea
Enna ninapiyanu onnum theriyala
Unna ninachikkitte vazhurean
Nee ezhu kadal thandi ponalum varuvean
Adiye ezhu kadal thandi ponalum varuvean
Kurinji poo pola keadachale
Ava karumbu kannaka romba inichale
Manushana enna mathichale
Andha paarvaiyaala enna sedhachale
Adada ava manasuku
Antha oscara nee tha thara sollu
Ivaloda azhagukku
Antha kurinji pookke nee bye sollu
Dhoorama dhoorama ava ponale
Sogama sanji dhan na poneanea
Enna ninapiyanu onnum theriyala
Unna ninachikkitte vazhurean
Your love was like a shadow,
Never leaving my side, even for a moment.
She gave it to me completely,
She plucked my heart away cleanly,
And sowed the seed of love deep inside me.
She came into my life like a rare Kurinji flower,
She was so sweet, just like sugarcane.
She valued me as a human being,
And wrecked me completely with that look.
Oh, for a heart like hers,
Tell them to award her an Oscar!
And before a beauty like hers,
You can say goodbye even to the Kurinji flower!
When she went far, so far away,
I slumped down in deep sadness.
I don't know if you ever think of me,
Yet I live on, thinking only of you.
Even if you cross the seven seas, I will come for you,
Oh girl, even if you cross the seven seas, I will come.
She came into my life like a rare Kurinji flower,
She was so sweet, just like sugarcane.
She valued me as a human being,
And wrecked me completely with that look.
Oh, for a heart like hers,
Tell them to award her an Oscar!
And before a beauty like hers,
You can say goodbye even to the Kurinji flower!
When she went far, so far away,
I slumped down in deep sadness.
I don't know if you ever think of me,
Yet I live on, thinking only of you.

Comparing her rare presence to the Kurinji flower and her sweetness to sugarcane, he playfully declares that her pure heart deserves an Oscar and her beauty outshines nature itself. Despite the affection they shared, she moves far away, leaving him heartbroken and yearning for her return. Unsure if she still remembers him, he reaffirms his unwavering devotion, declaring that he will cross seven seas to be reunited with her.
