Neethane enadhu thozhamai
Unnil kanden anbinai
Ulagai pudhidhai rasikiren
Unakkum serthe vasikkiren
Nadakkum boomai pole naan
Vazhandha vazhvai maatrainai
Enaku indha piraviyil
Manitham solli nee thandhai
Manangal dhan inaiyumbodhu
Marabugal thevai illai nanba
Neethane enadhu thozhamai
Unnil kanden anbinai
Ulagai pudhidhai rasikiren
Unakkum serthe vasikkiren
Manidha inathinil naanum pirandhen
Miruga inathinil neeyum pirandhai
Namadhu uravinaiye uyarvenben
Uyirgal aanaithum inge podhuvenben
Anbukku yengidum undhan anbai
Naalellam naan kandu negizhdhen
Kaval kaapen unnai naandhan
Namadhu natpai ulagam ariyadhu
Neethane enadhu thozhamai
Unnil kanden anbinai
Ulagai pudhidhai rasikiren
Unakkum serthe vasikkiren
You are my true companion,
in you, I found pure love.
I enjoy the world anew,
and I live for both of us now.
Like a walking doll,
you changed the life I used to live.
In this lifetime,
you taught me what humanity truly is.
When two hearts connect,
boundaries and traditions do not matter, my friend.
You are my true companion,
in you, I found pure love.
I enjoy the world anew,
and I live for both of us now.
I was born into the human race,
and you were born as an animal.
I consider our bond to be the greatest,
for all living beings are equal here.
Seeing your love that yearns for affection,
my heart melted each and every day.
I will always protect you,
even if the world does not understand our friendship.
You are my true companion,
in you, I found pure love.
I enjoy the world anew,
and I live for both of us now.
