{ Ragasiyamaanadhu kaadhal
Miga miga ragasiyamaanadhu kaadhal } (2)
Mugavari sollaamal mugam thanai maraikum
Oru thalaiyaagavum sugam anubavikum
Swarasiyamaanadhu kaadhal
Miga miga swarasiyamaanadhu kaadhal
Sollaamal seiyum kaadhal ganamaanadhu
Solla chonnaalum solvadhum illai manamaanadhu
Sollum sollai thedi thedi yugam ponadhu
Indha sogam thaanae kaadhalilae sugamaanadhu
Vaasanai velichathai polae
Adhu sudhandhiramaanadhum alla
Eerathai irutinai polae
Adhu olindhidum veli varum mella

Ketkaamal kaatum anbu uyarvaanadhu
Ketu koduthaalae kaadhal angu uyiraagudhu
Ketkum kelvikaga thaanae badhil vaazhudhu

Miga miga swarasiyamaanadhu kaadhal
Love is a secret,
Love is so very secret.
It hides its face without giving an address,
It even finds joy in being one-sided.
Love is fascinating,
Love is so very fascinating.
Love kept unsaid is heavy on the heart,
Even when told to confess, the heart will not speak.
Ages have passed searching for the right words to say,
Isn't this very sorrow the sweetness of love?
Like fragrance or light,
It is not entirely free.
Like moisture and darkness,
It hides and slowly comes out into the open.
Love is a secret,
Love is so very secret.
It hides its face without giving an address,
It even finds joy in being one-sided.
Love is fascinating,
Love is so very fascinating.
Affection shown without being asked is noble,
When asked and given, love comes alive there.
An answer lives only for the question that is asked,
Yet love is not something to ask and receive—it is natural.
Like water or fire,
It cannot be understood by a mere touch of the finger.
Love too is like God,
It must be felt gently deep within the soul.
Love is a secret,
Love is so very secret.
It hides its face without giving an address,
It even finds joy in being one-sided.
Love is fascinating,
Love is so very fascinating.
