Kannu pattu kaadhal vittu pocho
Kanda padi dhristi pattu pochoo
En kadhai ini ennaagumoo
Ippadiye achu chella kutty
Yen usura nee yen pona etti
Naan dhenam dhenam aludhe thudikkiren
Nee piriyaathe
Idhayamae pogaathe
Melugaa urugi unai thediye
Irundhen karaindhe povenadaa
Nee piriyaathe
Idhayamae pogaathe
Mansula poova poothava nee dhaan
Anbe per anbe
Unakena vaazha uyir ena thaanga
Pirandhen naan anbe
Thaniyena nee naalume
Yen ingae
Marandhu nee vaa vaa o priya
Manippu naan ketkkiren
Nee piriyaathe
Idhayamae pogaathe
Both :Melugaa urugi unai thediye
Irundhen karaindhe povenadaa
Nee piriyaathe
Idhayamae pogaathe
Did an evil eye fall and make our love slip away?
Did bad eyes strike us and ruin everything?
What will become of my life now?
It has ended up like this, my sweetheart.
My very life, why did you drift so far away?
I cry in pain every single day.
Please do not leave me.
My heart, please do not go.
Melting like wax, searching for you,
I will melt away completely, my love.
Please do not leave me.
My heart, please do not go.
You are the one who bloomed like a flower in my heart,
My love, my greatest love.
To live for you and hold you as my breath,
I was born, my love.
Why do you stay all alone,
here every single day?
Forget it all and come back, oh my love,
I ask for your forgiveness.
Please do not leave me.
My heart, please do not go.
Melting like wax, searching for you,
I will melt away completely, my love.
Please do not leave me.
My heart, please do not go.
