| Mazhai…nanaiya vaithathu | The rain... drenched me |
| Oru naal | One day |
| Athil…mayanginen | In that... I was swooned |
| Alai…karayai theendiya thirunaal | The blessed day when the wave touched the shore |
| Manam…kiranginen | My heart... was intoxicated |
| Female | |
| Unnai naan paartha | The day I saw you |
| Muthal naal | The very first day |
| Vizhnthenae etha naal | I fell on that day |
| Un kan ennum siraginaal | With the wings that are your eyes |
| Alli anaithathaal nenjodu | As you held me close to your heart |
| Female | |
| Androdu aasai koobam | Since that day, desire and anger |
| Anaithilum neethan | In everything, it is only you |
| Aavesam vanthaal kooda | Even if rage flares up |
| Adangum thee thaan | It is a fire that subsides |
| Anbae nee yaaro da | My beloved, who are you? |

மழை…நனைய வைத்தது
ஒரு நாள்
அதில்…மயங்கினேன்
அலை…கரையை தீண்டிய திருநாள்
மனம்…கிரங்கினேன்
The rain... drenched me
One day
In that... I was swooned
The blessed day when the wave touched the shore
My heart... was intoxicated
உன்னை நான் பார்த்த
முதல் நாள்
வீழ்ந்தேனே எதனால்
உன் கண் என்னும் சிறகினால்
அள்ளி அணைத்ததால் நெஞ்சோடு
The day I saw you
The very first day
I fell on that day
With the wings that are your eyes
As you held me close to your heart
அன்றோடு ஆசை கோபம்
அனைத்திலும் நீதான்
ஆவேசம் வந்தால் கூட
அடங்கும் தீ தான்
அன்பே நீ யாரோடா
அலாதி தேரோடா
Since that day, desire and anger
In everything, it is only you
Even if rage flares up
It is a fire that subsides
My beloved, who are you?
Moving like a grand chariot
மழை…நனைய வைத்தது
ஒரு நாள்
அதில்…மயங்கினேன்
அலை…கரையை தீண்டிய திருநாள்
மனம்…கிரங்கினேன்
The rain... drenched me
One day
In that... I was swooned
The blessed day when the wave touched the shore
My heart... was intoxicated
எழில் முகம் காணாமல்
என்ன வென்றும் கேளாமல்
எதிரியாய் ஆனதென்ன
Without seeing your beautiful face
Without asking what is needed
Why did I become a helpless destitute?
முறுவல்கள் தாராமல்
முத்தமிட வாராமல்
ஏங்க வைத்து போனதென்ன
Without offering smiles
Without coming to kiss me
Why did you leave me yearning?
வழிகள் எனது
விழிகள் எனது
வரவு உனதல்லவா
The pain is mine
The watching eyes are mine
Is not the arrival yours?
மனது உனது
மறதி உனது
மரணம் எனதல்லவா
The heart is yours
Forgetfulness is yours
Is not death mine?
மேகம் நீங்க
வானம் தாங்க
நிலா உலா வராதோ…
As the clouds clear
As the sky endures
Will the moon not come for a stroll?
மழை…நனைய வைத்தது
ஒரு நாள்
அதில்…மயங்கினேன்
அலை…கரையை தீண்டிய திருநாள்
மனம்…கிரங்கினேன்
The rain... drenched me
One day
In that... I was swooned
The blessed day when the wave touched the shore
My heart... was intoxicated
Mazhai…nanaiya vaithathu
The rain... drenched me
Oru naal
One day
Athil…mayanginen
In that... I was swooned
Alai…karayai theendiya thirunaal
The blessed day when the wave touched the shore
Manam…kiranginen
My heart... was intoxicated
Unnai naan paartha
The day I saw you
Muthal naal
The very first day
Vizhnthenae etha naal
I fell on that day
Un kan ennum siraginaal
With the wings that are your eyes
Alli anaithathaal nenjodu
As you held me close to your heart
Androdu aasai koobam
Since that day, desire and anger
Anaithilum neethan
In everything, it is only you
Aavesam vanthaal kooda
Even if rage flares up
Adangum thee thaan
It is a fire that subsides
Anbae nee yaaro da
My beloved, who are you?
Aalathi theroda
Moving like a grand chariot

The rain... drenched me
Oru naal
