நேற்று நான்
பார்த்ததும் உன்னைத்தானா
சொல் இன்று நான் காண்பதும்
உன்னைத்தானா சொல்
Is the one I saw yesterday
truly you? Tell me.
Is the one I see today
truly you? Tell me.
ஆடை மாற
ஜாடை மாற கூந்தல்
பாதம் யாவும் மாற
As your clothes change,
As your gestures change,
From your hair to your feet,
As everything changes,
கண்களோ உன்
கண்களோ மாறவில்லை
கண்களோ என் கண்களோ
ஏமாற வில்லை பொய்
கூறவில்லை
Your eyes, are those your eyes?
They haven't changed.
My eyes, are these my eyes?
They were not deceived.
They did not lie.

பள்ளிக்கூட
வாசம் மீண்டும் தள்ளி
போன நேசம் மீண்டும்
தூரத்தில் உன் வாசனை
என்னை தாக்குதடி
The essence of school days returns again,
The love that drifted away returns again,
From a distance, your fragrance
strikes me!
பார்வையை
உன் பார்வையை
எதிர் பாக்குதடி மனம்
கேட்குதடி ( கேட்குதடி
கேட்குதடி கேட்குதடி
கேட்குதடி )
Your glance,
expects me in return!
My heart asks for you...
(It asks... it asks...)
(It asks... it asks...)
