| Male | |
| Uraindhidum kadikaaram | The frozen clock |
| Odamalae | Stands still without running |
| Unai naan kaanatha neram | The time I do not see you |
| Aruginil nizhale | Oh shadow beside me |
| Nee varugaiyil manathae | When you arrive, my heart |
| Thaalamal kai meerithae | Overflows beyond control |
| Male | |
| Nilavoli nanaikaatha thegangalil | On bodies unsoaked by moonlight |
| Viralal naan thedum thedal | The search I seek with my fingers |
| Anumathi thanthal aasaigalin | If permission is granted, for desires |
| Vegumathi kuraiyaathu | The reward will not diminish |
| Dhinam thooruven | I will shower every day |
| Male | |
| Madi oonjal naanaada | For me to swing on your lap like a swing |
| Manathoaramai | In the corner of the heart |
| Naalum vidyamal | Without the days dawning |
| Naan venduven | I will pray |
| Male | |
| Idaivelai illamal | Without any interval |
| Idhaloramai | Along the edge of the lips |
| Amuthinai parugaamal | Without sipping the nectar |

| Thanimaigal thurave | To chase away loneliness |
| Male | |
| Saayum nizhal | The slanting shadow |
| Theyum varai vaa azhage | Come, my beauty, until it diminishes |
| Naluvum nodi paazhagum | Slipping moments will be wasted |
| Thazhuva ketkiraen | I ask for an embrace |

உறைந்திடும் கடிகாரம்
ஓடாமாலே
உனை நான் காணாத நேரம்
அருகினில் நிழலே
நீ வருகையில் மனதே
தாளாமல் கை மீறுதே
The frozen clock
Stands still without running
The time I do not see you
Oh shadow beside me
When you arrive, my heart
Overflows beyond control
நிலவொளி நனைக்காத
தேகங்களில்
விரலால் நான் தேடும் தேடல்
அனுமதி தந்தாய்
ஆசைகளின்
வெகுமதி குறையாது
தினம் தூறுவேன்
On bodies unsoaked by moonlight
The search I seek with my fingers
If permission is granted, for desires
The reward will not diminish
I will shower every day
மடி ஊஞ்சல் நானாடா
மனதோரமாய்
நாளும் விடியாமல்
நான் வேண்டுவேன்
For me to swing on your lap like a swing
In the corner of the heart
Without the days dawning
I will pray
இடைவேளை இல்லாமல்
இதழோரமாய்
அமுதினை பருகாமல்
தடுமாறுவேன்
Without any interval
Along the edge of the lips
Without sipping the nectar
I will falter
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஓ
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஓ
Hoo oo oo hoo ooo
Hoo oo oo hoo oo oo hoo ooo
வேகத்தடை போடாதே
வா என் அருகே
உருகும் மனம் தாங்காதினி
தனிமைகள் துறவே
Do not put speed bumps
Come near me
The melting heart can no longer bear it
To chase away loneliness
சாயும் நிழல்
தேயும் வரை வா அழகே
நழும் நொடி பாழாகும்
தழுவ கேட்கிறேன்
The slanting shadow
Come, my beauty, until it diminishes
Slipping moments will be wasted
I ask for an embrace
லேசாக உரசும் போதும்
வேகம் தொடங்கும்
காற்றோடு தீயாக
நானாகவா
Even when lightly brushing past
Speed will begin
Like fire catching the wind
Shall I become?
பேசாமல் பேசும் போது
நா உலரும்
புரியாத ஓசைகள்
நீ காண வா
Even when communicating silently
My tongue stammers
Incomprehensible sounds
Come to see them
மடி ஊஞ்சல் நானாடா
மனதோரமாய்
நாளும் விடியாமல்
நான் வேண்டுவேன்
For me to swing on your lap like a swing
In the corner of the heart
Without the days dawning
I will pray
இடைவேளை இல்லாமல்
இதழோரமாய்
அமுதினை பருகாமல்
தடுமாறுவேன்
Without any interval
Along the edge of the lips
Without sipping the nectar
I will falter
Uraindhidum kadikaaram
The frozen clock
Odamalae
Stands still without running
Unai naan kaanatha neram
The time I do not see you
Aruginil nizhale
Oh shadow beside me
Nee varugaiyil manathae
When you arrive, my heart
Thaalamal kai meerithae
Overflows beyond control
Nilavoli nanaikaatha thegangalil
On bodies unsoaked by moonlight
Viralal naan thedum thedal
The search I seek with my fingers
Anumathi thanthal aasaigalin
If permission is granted, for desires
Vegumathi kuraiyaathu
The reward will not diminish
Dhinam thooruven
I will shower every day
Madi oonjal naanaada
For me to swing on your lap like a swing
Manathoaramai
In the corner of the heart
Naalum vidyamal
Without the days dawning
Naan venduven
I will pray
Idaivelai illamal
Without any interval
Idhaloramai
Along the edge of the lips
Amuthinai parugaamal
Without sipping the nectar
Thadumaaruven
I will falter
Hoo oo oo hoo ooo
Hoo oo oo hoo ooo
Hoo oo oo hoo oo oo hoo ooo
Hoo oo oo hoo oo oo hoo ooo
Vegathadai podathe
Do not put speed bumps
Vaa en arugae
Come near me
Urugum manam thaangathini
The melting heart can no longer bear it
Thanimaigal thurave
To chase away loneliness
Saayum nizhal
The slanting shadow
Theyum varai vaa azhage
Come, my beauty, until it diminishes
Naluvum nodi paazhagum
Slipping moments will be wasted
Thazhuva ketkiraen
I ask for an embrace
Lesaaga urasum pothum
Even when lightly brushing past
Vegam thodanguam
Speed will begin
Kaatrodu theeyaaga
Like fire catching the wind
Naanagavaa
Shall I become?
Pesaamal pesum pothe
Even when communicating silently
Naa ularum
My tongue stammers
Puriyaatha osaigal
Incomprehensible sounds
Nee kaana vaa
Come to see them
Madi oonjal naanaada
For me to swing on your lap like a swing
Manathoramai
In the corner of the heart
Naalum vidyamal
Without the days dawning
Naan venduven
I will pray
Idadivelai illamal
Without any interval
Idhaloramai
Along the edge of the lips
Amuthinai parugaamal
Without sipping the nectar
Thadumaaruven
I will falter
