| Male | |
| Oruthi en nejukulla adichutta | A girl struck right inside my heart |
| Adichu ennaiyum ippo tholachitta | Having struck it, she has now made me lose myself |
| Sirichu en sirippellam thiruditta | She smiled and stole away all my laughter |
| Kanavaaga kalanjale | She dissolved away like a dream |
| Nerunghi en ullangaiya pudichitta | She came close and held my palm |
| Pudichu en kaiya vittu parandhitta | Holding it, she then let go of my hand and flew away |
| Parandhu en kaadhalathaan maranthutta | Having flown away, she forgot my love |
| Ippo yenghi ponene | Now I am left yearning |
| Male | |
| Thaniyaagha naanum ponene | I became all alone |
| Thunaiyaagha vandhaale | She came as my companion |
| Kai kortha kaiya thandhenae | I offered my intertwined hand to her |
| Thandi ponaale | She stepped past and walked away |
| Oru paadhi kaadhal thandhaale | She gave me one half of love |
| Maru paadhi aanaale | She became the other half herself |
| Vazhi maari ippo ponaale | Now she changed her path and went away |
| Thaviche ponene | I was left squirming in pain |
| Male | |
| Oruthi en nejukulla adichutta | A girl struck right inside my heart |
| Adichu ennaiyum ippo tholachitta | Having struck it, she has now made me lose myself |
| Sirichu en sirippellam thiruditta | She smiled and stole away all my laughter |
| Kanavaaga kalanjale | She dissolved away like a dream |
| Male | |
| Unai verukka ninaithenae | I thought of hating you |
| Enai veruthu thudithene | I ended up hating myself and writhing in pain |
| Viziyena una ninaithenae | I considered you as my own eyes |
| Kanavaai kalaindhaaye | Yet you faded away like a dream |
| Manakadhavai adaithenae | I closed the doors of my heart |
| Unai mattume vidhaithenae | And sowed only you inside |
| Tholai dhooram parandhaaye | You flew to a far distance |
| Norunghi ponene | I shattered into pieces |
| Male | |
| Karaithaandi vara neeye | To cross the shore and come, you... |
| Varam ondru koduthaaye | ...granted me a boon |
| Nadu kadalil tholaindhene | Yet I got lost in the middle of the ocean |
| Maraindhaaye vinmeene | You disappeared like a star |
| Karuvariyin vasathai undhan araiyil paarthen | I felt the comfort of a mother's womb in your room |
| Kallaraiyin iruttai nee katti ponaaye | Yet you departed, leaving me bound to the darkness of a grave |
ஒருத்தி என் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள அடிச்சுட்டா
அடிச்சு என்னையும் இப்போ தொலைச்சிட்டா
சிரிச்சு என் சிரிப்பெல்லாம் திருடிட்டா
கனவாக கலைஞ்சலே
நெருங்கி என் உள்ளங்கையை புடிச்சிட்டா
புடிச்சு என் கைய விட்டு பறந்திட்டா
பறந்து என் காதலதான் மறந்துட்டா
இப்போ ஏங்கி போனேனே
A girl struck right inside my heart
Having struck it, she has now made me lose myself
She smiled and stole away all my laughter
She dissolved away like a dream
She came close and held my palm
Holding it, she then let go of my hand and flew away
Having flown away, she forgot my love
Now I am left yearning
தனியாக நானும் போனேனே
துணையாக வந்தாலே
கை கோர்த்த கைய தந்தேனே
தண்டி போனாலே
ஒரு பாதி காதல் தந்தாலே
மறு பாதி ஆனால்
வழி மாறி இப்போ போனாலே
தவிச்சே போனேனே
I became all alone
She came as my companion
I offered my intertwined hand to her
She stepped past and walked away
She gave me one half of love
She became the other half herself
Now she changed her path and went away
I was left squirming in pain
ஒருத்தி என் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள அடிச்சுட்டா
அடிச்சு என்னையும் இப்போ தொலைச்சிட்டா
சிரிச்சு என் சிரிப்பெல்லாம் திருடிட்டா
கனவாக கலைஞ்சலே
A girl struck right inside my heart
Having struck it, she has now made me lose myself
She smiled and stole away all my laughter
She dissolved away like a dream
உன்னை வெறுக்க நினைத்தேனே
என்னை வெறுத்து துடித்தேனே
விழியென உன்ன நினைத்தேனே
கணவாய் கலைந்தாயே
மனக்கதவை அடைத்தேனே
உன்னை மட்டுமே விதைத்தேனே
தொலை தூரம் பறந்தாயே
நொறுங்கி போனேனே
I thought of hating you
I ended up hating myself and writhing in pain
I considered you as my own eyes
Yet you faded away like a dream
I closed the doors of my heart
And sowed only you inside
You flew to a far distance
I shattered into pieces
கரைத்தாண்டி வர நீயே
வரம் ஒன்று கொடுத்தாய்
நாடு கடலில் தொலைந்தேனே
மறைந்தாயே விண்மீனே
கருவறையின் வாசத்தை உந்தன் அறையில் பார்த்தேன்
கல்லறையின் இருட்டை நீ கட்டி போனாயே
To cross the shore and come, you...
...granted me a boon
Yet I got lost in the middle of the ocean
You disappeared like a star
I felt the comfort of a mother's womb in your room
Yet you departed, leaving me bound to the darkness of a grave
Oruthi en nejukulla adichutta
A girl struck right inside my heart
Adichu ennaiyum ippo tholachitta
Having struck it, she has now made me lose myself
Sirichu en sirippellam thiruditta
She smiled and stole away all my laughter
Kanavaaga kalanjale
She dissolved away like a dream
Nerunghi en ullangaiya pudichitta
She came close and held my palm
Pudichu en kaiya vittu parandhitta
Holding it, she then let go of my hand and flew away
Parandhu en kaadhalathaan maranthutta
Having flown away, she forgot my love
Ippo yenghi ponene
Now I am left yearning
Thaniyaagha naanum ponene
I became all alone
Thunaiyaagha vandhaale
She came as my companion
Kai kortha kaiya thandhenae
I offered my intertwined hand to her
Thandi ponaale
She stepped past and walked away
Oru paadhi kaadhal thandhaale
She gave me one half of love
Maru paadhi aanaale
She became the other half herself
Vazhi maari ippo ponaale
Now she changed her path and went away
Thaviche ponene
I was left squirming in pain
Oruthi en nejukulla adichutta
A girl struck right inside my heart
Adichu ennaiyum ippo tholachitta
Having struck it, she has now made me lose myself
Sirichu en sirippellam thiruditta
She smiled and stole away all my laughter
Kanavaaga kalanjale
She dissolved away like a dream
Unai verukka ninaithenae
I thought of hating you
Enai veruthu thudithene
I ended up hating myself and writhing in pain
Viziyena una ninaithenae
I considered you as my own eyes
Kanavaai kalaindhaaye
Yet you faded away like a dream
Manakadhavai adaithenae
I closed the doors of my heart
Unai mattume vidhaithenae
And sowed only you inside
Tholai dhooram parandhaaye
You flew to a far distance
Norunghi ponene
I shattered into pieces
Karaithaandi vara neeye
To cross the shore and come, you...
Varam ondru koduthaaye
...granted me a boon
Nadu kadalil tholaindhene
Yet I got lost in the middle of the ocean
Maraindhaaye vinmeene
You disappeared like a star
Karuvariyin vasathai undhan araiyil paarthen
I felt the comfort of a mother's womb in your room
Kallaraiyin iruttai nee katti ponaaye
Yet you departed, leaving me bound to the darkness of a grave
