Adi pennae en kannae
En manathil muzhuthaai neethaanae
Ninaivilae kanavilae
En vazhiyin velicham neethaanae
Unnai pirinthirukkum neram
Dhinamum en manathu yaengum
Nee varaatha karai oram
Thaari en manathu thedum
Thaanaai thedum kangal
Un peyar kettaalae
Iravugal neelumpothu
Un peyar munuppaenae
Enthan uyirae ennai mattum
Oru naalum piriyaathae
Unthan kadhal ennai konjam
Nerungaamal vilaguthae
Adi pennae en kannae
En manathil muzhuthaai neethaanae
Ninaivilae kanavilae
En vazhiyin velicham neethaanae
Unnai pirinthirukkum neram
Dhinamum en manathu yaengum
Nee varaatha karai oram
Thaari en manathu thedum
Oh my girl, my darling,
You are the one who completely fills my heart.
In my thoughts and in my dreams,
You are the light on my path.
Whenever I am away from you,
My heart yearns for you every single day.
Along the shore where you do not come,
Lost, my heart keeps searching for you.
My eyes search for you on their own
The moment I hear your name.
As the nights stretch long,
I whisper your name.
Oh my life, please never
Part from me, even for a day.
Yet your love drifts away,
Without coming close to me.
Oh my girl, my darling,
You are the one who completely fills my heart.
In my thoughts and in my dreams,
You are the light on my path.
Whenever I am away from you,
My heart yearns for you every single day.
Along the shore where you do not come,
Lost, my heart keeps searching for you.
