Nenjil vaazhgira paadalae
Konjam paadida vaa
Kannil neelgira kavithayae
Konjam pesida vaa vaa
Mullai poovena aasaiyai
Sollum paarvaiyilae
Kollai ponathu irudhayam
Ulagam kidaithathu polae
Aah..aaa…..aaa…aaa….aa…
Vellai theeyena gnyaabagam
Ullam sergirathae
Minnal polae ninaivugal
Imaiyil malargiradhae…ae….
Nenjil vaazhgira paadalae
Konjam paadida vaa
Kannil neelgira kavithayae
Konjam pesida vaa vaa
Nenjil vaazhgira paadalae
Konjam paadida vaa
O song living in my heart,
Come sing for a while.
O poem lingering in my eyes,
Come speak for a while, come, come.
Expressing desire like a sweet jasmine,
in that gaze of yours,
My heart was stolen away,
as though I won the whole world.
Ah......ah.....ah.....ah....ah....
Like a white flame, your memory
kindles within my heart.
Like flashes of lightning, memories
blossom upon my eyelids...
O song living in my heart,
Come sing for a while.
O poem lingering in my eyes,
Come speak for a while, come, come.
O song living in my heart,
Come sing for a while.
