| Kannala kadhai pesa neeyum | You, to speak stories with your eyes |
| Kai koruthu nada poda naanum | Me, to walk holding hands with you |
| Verenna verenna venum | What else, what else is needed? |
| Ne mattum ne mattum podhum | Only you, only you are enough |
| Male | |
| Thaangadha bhaaram | An unbearable burden |
| Naan thaangum bodhum | Even when I am bearing it |
| Enaithaangum thoonaai nee dhaandi | You are the pillar supporting me |
| Yaar vandha podhum.. yaar pona podhum | No matter who comes, no matter who leaves |
| Ne mattum ena vittu neengathadi | You alone shouldn't leave me |
| Male | |
| {Enakennu oru vaanam | {A sky of my own |

கண்ணால கதை பேச நீயும்
கை கோர்த்து நட போட நானும்
வேறென்ன வேறென்ன வேணும்
நீ மட்டும் நீ மட்டும் போதும்
You, to speak stories with your eyes
Me, to walk holding hands with you
What else, what else is needed?
Only you, only you are enough
தாங்காத பாரம் நான் தாங்கும் போதும்
எனை தாங்கும் தூணாக நீதானடி
யார் வந்த போதும் யார் போன போதும்
நீ மட்டும் என விட்டு நீங்காதடி
An unbearable burden
Even when I am bearing it
You are the pillar supporting me
No matter who comes, no matter who leaves
You alone shouldn't leave me
எனக்கினு ஒரு வானம்
எனக்கினு ஒரு மேகம்
மழை பொழியிது ஆத்தாடி
அது தானே நீயும்
{A sky of my own
A cloud of my own
Rain pours down, oh dear
Isn't that you?} (2)
எனக்கினு ஒரு வானம்
எனக்கினு ஒரு மேகம்
மழை பொழியிது ஆத்தாடி
அது தானே நீயும்
{Oh dear, isn't that you?} (2)
ஆத்தாடி அது தானே நீயும்
ஆத்தாடி அது தானே நீயும்
Because you arrived
Even this turns to dust
Only because of you, my heart becomes light
This is my life
To tell as a story
There is no page without your name
நீ வந்ததால் இதுவும் தூசாகுது
உன்னால தான் மனசு லேசாகுது
என் வாழ்க்க இது தான்னு கதையாக சொல்ல
உன் பேரு இல்லமா ஒரு பக்கம் இல்ல
To melt for me
To twist my ear affectionately
Like a moon along my path
I need you all along the way
Even when I became an unquenchable fire
You lit me up from the edge of the wick
எனக்காக உருக எனக்காக பெருக
வழி பாத நிலவா நீ வேண்டும் நெடுக
தீராத தீயாக நான் ஆன போதும்
நெஞ்சோரம் நீதாண்டி என ஏத்துன
Oh dear, isn't that you?
ஆத்தாடி அது தானே நீயும்
You, to speak stories with your eyes
Me, to walk holding hands with you
What else, what else is needed?
Only you, only you are enough
கண்ணால கதை பேச நீயும்
கை கோர்த்து நட போட நானும்
வேறென்ன வேறென்ன வேணும்
நீ மட்டும் நீ மட்டும் போதும்
My darling... my darling..
You are everything to me
No matter who comes, no matter who leaves
You alone shouldn't leave me
கண்ணே.. பெண்ணே
எல்லாம் நீதானடி
யார் வந்த போதும் யார் போன போதும்
நீ மட்டும் என விட்டு நீங்காதடி
A sky of my own..
A cloud of my own..
There is life..
There is life..
Rain pours down…
Rain pours down.
Isn't that you?
எனக்கினு ஒரு
எனக்கினு ஒரு
உயிர் இருக்குது
உயிர் இருக்குது
மழ பொழியிது
மழ பொழியிது
அது தானே நீயும்
A sky of my own
A cloud of my own
Rain pours down
Rain pours down
Rain pours down
Male: {Oh dear, isn't that you?} (2)
