| Oru murai nokinaal | If you look at me once |
| Nokkum nokkil | In that very glance |
| Ethir enai thaakinaal | If you attack me in return |
| Thaakum thaakil | In that striking hit |
| Kaadhale kaadhale | Oh love, oh love |
| Kaadhal vithai kaatinaai | You showed me the seed of love |

ஒரு முறை நோக்கினால்
நோக்கும் நோக்கில்
எதிர் எனை தாக்கினாள்
தாக்கம் தாக்கில்
காதலே காதலே
காதல் வித்தை காட்டினாய்
மார்பிலே ஏறியே
நீயும் என்னை தாக்கினாய்
உன் சுவாசம் தந்து
என்னை தேற்றினாய்
If you look at me once
In that very glance
If you attack me in return
In that striking hit
Oh love, oh love
You showed me the seed of love
Climbing onto my chest
You struck me as well
Gifting me your breath
You comforted me
நான் இங்கே
உன் கண்கள் தீவில் தொலைந்தேன்
நீ நின்றாய் தண்ணீராய் சூழ்ந்தேனே
ஓ பெண்ணே
வான் சொர்க்கம் தேடும் அழகாய்
நான் கண்டேன்
என் பாவம் தீர்ப்பேனே
Here, in your eyes
I got lost on the island
Where you stood
I was surrounded by water
Oh girl
Like a beauty seeking heavenly skies
I saw you
Shall I cleanse my sins?
உயிரோடு உயிர் மாற்றம்
என்னை மாற்றி போனதே
உயிரோட்டம் கனவுன்னை சேருதே
நடை மாற்றம் உடை மாற்றம்
மனம் போல ஆனதே
மனம் மாற்றம்
உனதாகி போனதே
போர் புரியும்
பார்வைக்குள்ளே விழுந்தேன்
வாழ்ந்திடவே நாட்கள் விரும்பும்
கால் நடைந்து
தேவை யாவும் மறைந்து
நீ எனவே தேடல் தொடரும்
To nourish life with life
It completely transformed me
The flow of life, dreaming of you
Is joining together
A change in my walk
A change in my attire
It became just as my heart wished
A change of heart
Has become entirely yours
Waging a war
I fell into your gaze
To live life, the days
Would desire
Walking on foot
All needs disappeared
The search continues with 'you' as the goal
நான் இங்கே
உன் கண்கள் தீவில் தொலைந்தேன்
நீ நின்றாய் தண்ணீராய் சூழ்ந்தேனே
ஓ பெண்ணே
வான் சொர்க்கம் தேடும் அழகாய்
நான் கண்டேன்
என் பாவம் தீர்ப்பேனே
Here, in your eyes
I got lost on the island
Where you stood
I was surrounded by water
Oh girl
Like a beauty seeking heavenly skies
I saw you
Shall I cleanse my sins?
உனை பார்க்க உருவாகும்
அனுவேதி ஆற்றலே
இதயங்கள் வெடிக்காதோ காற்றிலே
உனைக்கேட்டு அடங்காமல்
அடம்தானே மார்பிலே
இலைப்பாற வழி நீயே காதலே
Formed just by looking at you
Like atomic energy
Won't hearts explode in the air?
Restlessly asking for you
Stubbornly residing in my chest
You are the path to rest
Oh my love
Speed throughout the entire day
A movement that provides momentum
Walking while carrying sounds
Trapped inside a droplet of water
Struggling
A longing exists like that of an ant
நாள் முழுதும்
வேகம் தரும் இயக்கம்
ஓசைகளை ஏந்தி நடக்கும்
நீர்த்துளியில் மாட்டிக்கொண்டு தவிக்கும்
ஓர் எறும்பாய் ஏக்கம் இருக்கும்
Here, in your eyes
I got lost on the island
Where you stood
I was surrounded by water
Oh girl
Like a beauty seeking heavenly skies
I saw you
Shall I cleanse my sins?
நான் இங்கே
உன் கண்கள் தீவில் தொலைந்தேன்

என் பாவம் தீர்ப்பேனே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song describes the deeply transformative and overwhelming experience of falling in love. The protagonist feels captivated by his beloved's eyes, poetically comparing her gaze to an isolated island surrounded by water where he is pleasantly stranded. Love reshapes his life entirely—from his outward appearance and walk to his inner thoughts and desires, leaving him completely dedicated to her.
