Lyrics of the song Paartha Nyabhagam...
Do you not remember seeing me?
Is the drama of youth a trouble to you?
Was the time we lived together too short?
Did this heart forget it all?
Do you not remember seeing me?
Is the drama of youth a trouble to you?
Do you not remember seeing me?
Is the drama of youth a trouble to you?
Was the time we lived together too short?
Did this heart forget it all?
On the banks of that blue river,
You stood there during dusk,
I came singing a melody,
We grew close for a while...
Don't you remember seeing me back then?
Is the drama of youth a trouble?
Was the time we spent together so brief?
Did my heart simply forget?
Ask this night, it will tell you,
Ask that moon, it will tell you,
Ask your own heart, it will tell you,
It will tell you of the life we lived.
Don't you remember seeing me back then?
Is the drama of youth a trouble?
Was the time we spent together so brief?
Did my heart simply forget?...
Ho hoooo ..ho ho ooooooo
Ho hoooo ..ho ho ooooooo
Ho hoooo ..ho ho ooooooo
Ho hoooo ..ho ho ooooooo
Ho hoooo ..ho ho ooooooo
Ho hoooo ..ho ho ooooooo

Lyrics of the song Paartha Nyabhagam...
Paartha nyabagam illaiyo
Do you not remember seeing me?
Paruva naadagam thollaiyo
Is the drama of youth a trouble to you?
Vaazhndha kaalangal konjamo
Was the time we lived together too short?
Maranthadhae indha nenjamo
Did this heart forget it all?

Do you not remember seeing me?
Paruva naadagam thollaiyo
Is the drama of youth a trouble to you?
Paartha nyabagam illaiyo
Do you not remember seeing me?
Paruva naadagam thollaiyo
Is the drama of youth a trouble to you?
Vaazhndha kaalangal konjamo
Was the time we lived together too short?
Maranthadhae indha nenjamo
Did this heart forget it all?
Andha neela nadhi karaiyoram
On the banks of that blue river,
Nee nindrirundhaai andhi neram
You stood there during dusk,
Naan paadi vandhen oru raagam
I came singing a melody,
Naam pazhagi vandhom sila kaalam…
We grew close for a while...
Andru partha nyabagam illaiyo
Don't you remember seeing me back then?
Paruva nadagam thollaiyo
Is the drama of youth a trouble?
Vazhndha kalangal konjamo
Was the time we spent together so brief?
Maranthathae endhan nenjamo
Did my heart simply forget?
Indha iravai kel adhu sollum
Ask this night, it will tell you,
Andha nilavai kel adhu sollum
Ask that moon, it will tell you,
Undhan manadhai kel adhu sollum
Ask your own heart, it will tell you,
Naam vazhndha vaazhkaiyai sollum
It will tell you of the life we lived.
Andru partha nyabagam illaiyo
Don't you remember seeing me back then?
Paruva nadagam thollaiyo
Is the drama of youth a trouble?
Vazhndha kalangal konjamo
Was the time we spent together so brief?
Maranthathae endhan nenjamo….
Did my heart simply forget?...
