Dhenanthorum nenaikuren unna
Thaniya naa thavikuren ponne
Dhenanthorum nenaikuren unna
Thaniya naa thavikuren ponne
Konjam kaalam pottum
Neeyum naanum serum neram varum
Kalangadha neeyum vazhkai
Unna seekiram thedi varum
Neram varum neram varum
Thedi varum thedi varum
Oru naalum marakala unna
Pala naala kalanguren kanne
Oru naalum marakala unna
Pala naala kalanguren kanne
Un anbu onnu podhum
Vazhkai thaana maari varum
Neja kaathalodu kathiruntha
Ellam koodi varum
Maari varum maari varum
Koodi varum koodi varum
Unna paakum andha neram
Mazhai thooral poduma
Unna serum andha kaalam
Kulir kaalam aaguma
Unna paakum andha neram

I think of you every single day
I ache all alone, my girl
I think of you every single day
I ache all alone, my girl
Let a little time pass
The time for us to be together will come
Don't lose heart, a good life
will soon come searching for you
The time will come, the time will come
It will come searching, it will come searching
Not a single day have I forgotten you
My heart has been troubled for days, my dear
Not a single day have I forgotten you
My heart has been troubled for days, my dear
Just your love is enough
Life will naturally turn around
If we wait with true love
Everything will fall into place
It will change, it will change
It will fall into place, it will fall into place
That moment when I see you
Will a gentle rain drizzle down?
That time when I unite with you
Will it turn into a cool winter?
That moment when I see you
Will a gentle rain drizzle down?
That time when I unite with you
Will it turn into a cool winter?
The drizzle will come, the drizzle will come
The cool winter will come
The cool winter will come
Mmm… mmm…
Mmm… mm…
