மனசெல்லாம் தினம் வலி கூடுதே
இரவெல்லாம் உன்னை விழி தேடுதே
கண்ணீரில் என் மனம் மூழ்குதே
கனவெல்லாம் உன் முகம் காட்டுதே
My whole heart experiences increasing pain every day
All night my eyes search for you
My dignity drowns in tears
All my dreams show your face
கண் காணாத தீவில்
எனை தொலைத்தேனடி
தீரா காதலை
தீயில் எரித்தாயடி
In an unseen island
I lost myself, my girl
Endless love
You burned it in fire, my girl
மரணம் தீண்டும் வரையில்
எனை பிரியாமலே
மறு ஜென்மம் வரை என்னோடு
வர வேண்டுமே
Until death touches me
Without separating from me
Until the next birth with me
You must come
ஏனோ என்னில் நீயே வந்து உயிராகினாய்
கனவா நிஜமா நீயே என்னை உருமாற்றினாய்
I don't know why you came into me and became my life
Whether dream or reality, you transformed me
கண்ணம்மா உன் பேரை சொல்லி
கண்ணிரெண்டும் தேடுதே
கொஞ்சமாச்சும் பேசும்போதும்
நித்தம் ஏக்கம் கூடுதே
Calling your name, Kannamma
Both my eyes search for you
Speak at least a little, that's enough
Daily longing keeps increasing
உன் பாதம் என் பாதை சேரும்
நேரம் என்று தொடருமோ
மனசோடு உன் காதல் பேச
காயங்களும் மாறுமோ
When will your feet join mine?
When will that time come?
As your love speaks to my heart
Will these wounds heal?
கண்ணுக்குள்ள உன்னை பொத்தி வச்சேன்
கத்தி வச்சி என்னை மெல்ல தைச்சு வச்ச
புன்னகையில் என்னை சிக்க வச்சு
பொட்டை புள்ள என்ன தள்ளி வச்ச
I kept you protected inside my eyes
You slowly scraped me with a knife
Trapping me in your smile
Girl, you pushed me away
ஓ கண்ணாமூச்சி
ஆடும் காதல் ஏனடி
என்னை முத்தம் வெச்சி
கட்டி கொண்டு நீயும் வாழடி
Oh, why this game of hide-and-seek
In our love, my girl?
Kissing me and holding me tight
You live on, my girl
நீளும் இந்த வானம்
அது போல காதல் நீளுமே
பேசும் மொழி யாவும்
என் நெஞ்சில் வாழுமே
Like this expanding sky
Love will stretch and endure like that
Every spoken word
Will live in my heart
வாரம் முழு நாளும்
நீதானே எந்தன் எண்ணமே
நேரம் இந்த காலம்
அது ஆகும் வண்ணமே
All seven days of the week
You alone are my thoughts
Time and this era
Will become colorful because of it
நீதானே என் வாழ்விலே
யாவும் ஆனாய்
ஏனோ என் உல் மூச்சிலே
காயம் செய்தாய்
You alone in my life
Became everything to me
I don't know why, in my deep breath
You created a wound
சாய்ந்து மடி மேலே
தலை கோதும் விரல் எங்கே
நேற்று மழை வானில்
நாடை போட்ட வழி எங்கே
என் காதலே மாயம் செய்யாதே
Leaning back on the lap
Where is the finger that caresses my hair?
In yesterday's rainy sky
Where is the path we walked together?
My love, do not play illusions with me
Manasellaam dhinam vali kooduthae
My whole heart experiences increasing pain every day
Iravellaam unai vizhi theduthae
All night my eyes search for you
Kanneeril en maanam moozhguthae
My dignity drowns in tears
Kanavellaam un mugam kaattuthae
All my dreams show your face
Kan kaanadha theevil
In an unseen island
Enai tholaithenadi
I lost myself, my girl
Theera kaadhalai
Endless love

Maranam theendum varayil
