| Male | |
| Neeradum mazhaithuli polae | Like a raindrop bathing itself, |
| Yen indha vizhigalin melae | Why is it lingering upon these eyes? |
| Male | |
| Kudai mel vaanam | The sky above the umbrella, |
| Vizhi paarthida neelum | Extends so the eyes can behold it. |
| Karai mel neelam | The blue upon the shore, |
| Kadal sernthidavaenum | Desires to merge with the sea. |
| Male | |
| Neeradum mazhaithuli polae | Like a raindrop bathing itself, |
| Yen indha vizhigalin melae | Why is it lingering upon these eyes? |
| Male | |
| Pesidum udal | A body that speaks, |
| Uyir saagira varai | Until life passes away, |
| Yen indha vinai | Why this cruel fate? |
| Nenjil aayiram kanai | A thousand arrows piercing the heart. |
| Male | |
| Kangal serum varai | Until the eyes meet again, |
| Kannil thaanguma | Can these eyes bear the weight? |
| Unaiyae ninaithen | I thought only of you, |
| Dhinamum thavippen | And I suffer in longing every day. |

நீராடும் மழைத்துளி போலே
ஏன் இந்த விழிகளின் மேலே
Like a raindrop bathing itself,
Why is it lingering upon these eyes?
குடை மேல் வானம்
விழி பார்த்திட நீளும்
கரை மேல் நீலம்
கடல் சேர்ந்திடவேணும்
The sky above the umbrella,
Extends so the eyes can behold it.
The blue upon the shore,
Desires to merge with the sea.
நீராடும் மழைத்துளி போலே
ஏன் இந்த விழிகளின் மேலே

Why is it lingering upon these eyes?
பேசிடும் உடல்
உயிர் சாகிற வரை
ஏன் இந்த வினை
நெஞ்சில் ஆயிரம் கணை
A body that speaks,
Until life passes away,
Why this cruel fate?
A thousand arrows piercing the heart.
கண்கள் சேரும் வரை
கண்ணில் தாங்குமா
உனையே நினைத்தேன்
தினமும் தவிப்பேன்
Until the eyes meet again,
Can these eyes bear the weight?
I thought only of you,
And I suffer in longing every day.

விழி பார்த்திட நீளும்
கரை மேல் நீலம்
கடல் சேர்ந்திட வேணும்

Extends so the eyes can behold it.
