In the night
I was always thinking about you
In my dreams
Angels pave the way
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Natta nadu raathiriyai
Patta pagal aakki vittaai
En vizhiyil nee vizhunthu
En thookkathaiyum
Pokki vittaai
Kotta kotta naan muzhithu
Kitta thatta thoongi vitten
En kanavil nee nuzhainthu
Ennai meendum meendum
Ezhuppi vittaai
Kitta kitta neeyum vara
Ketta ketta soppanangal
Ennai suttu posukkuthada
Pattrikondathu en manasu
Ennai oottrum un vayasu
Thee pidiththu eriyuthada
Natta nadu raathiriyai
Patta pagal aakki vittaai
En vizhiyil nee vizhunthu
En thookkathaiyum
Pokki vittaai
Pookkal ellaam ada pookkal illai
Un punnagai pol naan paarkavillai
Kadanaai koduppaai udalai
Un pechinilae oru nesam kanden
Kan paarvayilae oru paasam kanden
Unai naan enathaai unarnthen
Vizhi oramaai pala kanavu
Ennai moikkuthae thinam iravu

In the night
I was always thinking about you
In my dreams
Angels pave the way
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
The middle of the night,
you turned into broad daylight.
By stepping into my eyes,
all my sleep,
you chased away.
Staring wide awake for so long,
I almost fell asleep,
but entering my dream,
again and again,
you woke me up.
As you come closer and closer,
naughty, wicked dreams
burn me up completely.
My heart caught fire,
and as your youth pours fuel on it,
it blazes in flames.
The middle of the night,
you turned into broad daylight.
By stepping into my eyes,
all my sleep,
you chased away.
Flowers are not truly flowers at all;
I have never seen anything quite like your smile.
Lend your body to me.
In your words, I found love.
In your gaze, I found warmth.
I felt you were completely mine.
In the corner of my eyes, so many dreams
swarm around me every night.
Give me sleep,
and while I sleep,
come into my dreams...
The middle of the night,
you turned into broad daylight.
By stepping into my eyes,
all my sleep,
you chased away.
Staring wide awake for so long,
I almost fell asleep,
but entering my dream,
again and again,
you woke me up.
At your words, my soul thrills with chills.
In your glance, heavy rain pours down.
My youthful blood boils with desire.
Your memories march into me like an army.
My fingertips stubbornly crave your touch.
In the night, my heart is bursting.
Just like the hands of a clock,
my heart keeps revolving around you.
My beloved,
won't you end this separation,
so my loneliness fades away?
The middle of the night,
you turned into broad daylight.
By stepping into my eyes,
all my sleep,
you chased away.
Staring wide awake for so long,
I almost fell asleep,
but entering my dream,
again and again,
you woke me up.
As you come closer and closer,
naughty, wicked dreams
burn me up completely.
My heart caught fire,
and as your youth pours fuel on it,
it blazes in flames.
The middle of the night,
you turned into broad daylight.
By stepping into my eyes,
all my sleep,
you chased away.
