| Rasavaachiyae rasavaachiyae | Oh alchemist of love, oh alchemist... |
| Un parvaiyaala ponen koosiyae | I shrank in bashfulness under your gaze. |

| Naan paatha neram ellaam | Every time I looked at you back then, |
| Paal aada paala pola | Like the film that forms over hot milk, |
| Thazhumbuvendi | I spilled over with affection, my girl. |

ரசவாச்சியே ரசவாச்சியே
உன் பார்வயால போனேன் கூசியே
விழி சாய்ச்சியே விழி சாய்ச்சியே
நீ பேசும் போது ஆவேன் தூசியே
Oh alchemist of love, oh alchemist...
I shrank in bashfulness under your gaze.
Oh one who tilted her eyes, oh one who tilted her eyes...
When you speak, I reduce into mere dust.
பாவாட சட்டையில
நான் பார்த்த நேரம் எல்லாம்
பால் ஆட பால போல
தழும்புவேன்டி
When you were in a traditional skirt and top,
Every time I looked at you back then,
Like the film that forms over hot milk,
I spilled over with affection, my girl.
நீ கடிச்ச மிட்டாய் வாங்கி
நான் ருசிச்ச காலம் எல்லாம்
நெஞ்சோரம் இன்னும் கூட
நினைக்குறேன்டி
Buying the candy that you bit into,
All those times I savored it,
Deep inside my heart, even today,
I keep fondly remembering, my girl.
ரசவாச்சியே விழி சாய்ச்சியே
ரசவாச்சியே ….
Oh alchemist, oh one who tilted her eyes...
Oh alchemist...
ஆளான நேரத்தில்
வெட்கப்படும் உன் கண்ணு
அந்த நேரம் நீ போட்ட
உன் வளையல் அள்ளி சேர்த்தேன்
When you came of age,
Your eyes were filled with shyness.
At that time, the broken bangles you dropped,
I gathered and collected them all.
தெனம் காலார உன் கூட
சேர்ந்து வர நினைப்பேனே
அப்போயெல்லாம் உன் நிழலில்
என் நிழல தொட்டு பார்ப்பேன்
Every day, to walk alongside you at ease,
I used to wish in my thoughts.
Back then, in your shadow,
I would touch my own shadow against yours...
ஒரு ரிப்பன் போல தான்
சுத்தி கிடக்குறேன்
உன் மேல நானே
நீ பாரு அது போதும் நான் வாழுவேன்
Just like a piece of ribbon,
I lie wrapped around,
All over you, myself.
Just look at me, that is enough,
I will live on.
ரசவாச்சியே விழி சாய்ச்சியே
ரசவாச்சியே ….
Oh alchemist of love, oh alchemist...
Oh one who tilted her eyes...
பாவாட சட்டையில
நான் பார்த்த நேரம் எல்லாம்
பால் ஆட பால போல
தழும்புவேன் டி
When you were in a traditional skirt and top,
Every time I looked at you back then,
Like the film that forms over hot milk,
I spilled over with affection, my girl.
நீ கடிச்ச மிட்டாய் வாங்கி
நான் ருசிச்ச காலம் எல்லாம்

All those times I savored it,
Deep inside my heart, even today,
I keep fondly remembering, my girl.
