| Nee vellai megam | You are a white cloud |
| Nee pillai raagam | You are an innocent tune of a child |
| Nee kollum mogam | You are a killing desire |
| Oomai nenjam oonjal aadum | A silent heart swings like a cradle |
| Male | |
| Maayam seidhai poove | You worked magic, oh flower |
| Naan ini naanae illai | I am no longer myself |
| Maalai megam polae | Like the evening cloud |
| Saaindhen neeyae illai | I leaned, but you were not there |
| Male | |
| Kaadhal sollum neram | When it is time to express love |
| Katrum podhavillai | Even the wind is not enough |
| Swasam neethan penne | You are my breath, oh girl |
| Ododi vaa… | Run and come to me... |

நீ வெள்ளை மேகம்
நீ பிள்ளை ராகம்
நீ கொல்லும் மோகம்
ஊமை நெஞ்சம் ஊஞ்சல் ஆடும்
You are a white cloud
You are an innocent tune of a child
You are a killing desire
A silent heart swings like a cradle
மாயம் செய்தாய் பூவே
நான் இனி நானே இல்லை
மாலை மேகம் போலே
சாய்ந்தேன் நீயே இல்லை
You worked magic, oh flower
I am no longer myself
Like the evening cloud
I leaned, but you were not there
காதல் சொல்லும் நேரம்
காற்றும் போதவில்லை
சுவாசம் நீதான் பெண்ணே
ஓடோடி வா
When it is time to express love
Even the wind is not enough
You are my breath, oh girl
Run and come to me...
தேடல் தந்தாய் பெண்ணே
தூக்கம் கண்ணில் இல்லை
நேரில் நீயும் நின்றால்
நெஞ்சில் சத்தம் இல்லை
You gave me a quest, oh girl
There is no sleep in my eyes
If you stand in front of me
There is no sound in my heart...
ஆசை பேசும் வேளை
வார்த்தை தேவையில்லை
வாசம் கொண்டேன்
உந்தன் விழியோரம் நான்
When desire speaks
Words are not needed
I found fragrance
At the corner of your eyes, I exist
நீ வெள்ளை மேகம்
நீ பிள்ளை ராகம்
நீ கொல்லும் மோகம்
ஊமை நெஞ்சம் ஊஞ்சல் ஆடும்
You are a white cloud
You are an innocent tune of a child
You are a killing desire
A silent heart swings like a cradle
நீ ஜன்னல் ஓரம் தோன்றிடும்
கொள்ளை வானம்
நான் தேடும் வெண்ணிலா
By the side of the window
A vast beautiful sky appears
The full moon I am searching for
தாளம் போடும் கால்கள்
தானாய் என்னை தட்டி செல்லும்
தோளில் ஆடும் கூந்தல்
தீ போல பற்றி கொள்ளும்
My beloved...
பார்க்கும் பார்வை பொய்யா
பேசும் வார்த்தை பொய்யா
காதல் கண்டேன் உன்னில் நான்
Feet that keep rhythm
Tap me automatically as they walk
Hair swaying on the shoulders
Catches fire like a flame...
காதல் கண்டேன் அன்பே ஓஹோ
காதல் கண்டேன் அன்பே ஓஹோ
Is the look in your eyes false?
Are the spoken words false?
I found love in you
வார்த்தை மூடி கொண்டு
காதல் நெஞ்சைப் பூட்டும் பெண்ணே
வாசம் கொண்டேன்
உந்தன் விழியோரம் நான்
I found love, my dear, oh oh
I found love, my dear, oh oh
நீ வெள்ளை மேகம்
நீ பிள்ளை ராகம்
நீ கொல்லும் மோகம்
ஊமை நெஞ்சம் ஊஞ்சல் ஆடும்
Closing the words
Love locks the heart, oh girl
I found fragrance
At the corner of your eyes, I exist
நீ ஜன்னல் ஓரம் தோன்றிடும்
கொள்ளை வானம்
நான் தேடும் வெண்ணிலா
You are a white cloud
You are an innocent tune of a child
You are a killing desire
A silent heart swings like a cradle...
மாயம் செய்தாய் பூவே
மாயம் செய்தாய் பூவே
மாயம் செய்தாய் பூவே
மாயம் செய்தாய் பூவே....
By the side of the window
A vast beautiful sky appears
The full moon I am searching for
You worked magic, oh flower
You worked magic, oh flower
You worked magic, oh flower
You worked magic, oh flower....
Nee vellai megam

You worked magic, oh flower
Naan ini naanae illai
I am no longer myself
Maalai megam polae
Like the evening cloud
Saaindhen neeyae illai
I leaned, but you were not there
Kaadhal sollum neram
When it is time to express love
Katrum podhavillai
Even the wind is not enough
Swasam neethan penne
You are my breath, oh girl
Ododi vaa…
Run and come to me...
Thedal thandhai pennae
You gave me a quest, oh girl
Thookkam kannil illai
There is no sleep in my eyes
Neril neeyum nindraal
If you stand in front of me
Nenjil saththam illai…
There is no sound in my heart...
Aasai pesum velai
When desire speaks
Vaarthai thevai illai
Words are not needed
Vaasam konden unthan
I found fragrance
Vizhiyoram naan
At the corner of your eyes, I exist
Nee vellai megam
You are a white cloud
Nee pillai raagam
You are an innocent tune of a child
Nee kollum mogam
You are a killing desire
Oomai nenjam oonjal aadum
A silent heart swings like a cradle

My beloved...
Thaalam podum kaalgal
Feet that keep rhythm
Thaanai ennai thatti sellum
Tap me automatically as they walk
Thozhil aadum koonthal
Hair swaying on the shoulders
Thee pole patri kollum…
Catches fire like a flame...
Paarkum paarvai poiya
Is the look in your eyes false?
Pesum vaarthai poiya
Are the spoken words false?
Kaadhal kanden unnil naan
I found love in you
Kaadhal kanden anbae oh oh
I found love, my dear, oh oh
Kaadhal kanden anbae oh oh
I found love, my dear, oh oh
Vaarthai moodi kondu
Closing the words
Kaadhal nenjai pootum pennae
Love locks the heart, oh girl
Vaasam konden unthan
I found fragrance
Vizhiyoram naan
At the corner of your eyes, I exist
Nee vellai megam
You are a white cloud
Nee pillai raagam
You are an innocent tune of a child
Nee kollum mogam
You are a killing desire
Oomai nenjam oonjal aadum…
A silent heart swings like a cradle...
Nee jennal ooram
By the side of the window
Thondridum kollai vaanam
A vast beautiful sky appears
Naan thedum vennila
The full moon I am searching for
Maayam seidhai poovae
You worked magic, oh flower
Maayam seidhai poovae
You worked magic, oh flower
Maayam seidhai poovae
You worked magic, oh flower
Maayam seidhai poovae….
You worked magic, oh flower....
