Sokkattaliye
Kann asaivinil vilundhavan naanae
Thottu pesavae
Un aruginil nizhal aanen
Pesa vaai vaarthai vaa vaangudhae
Aasai adangaamal manamo yenga
Minnal vettum punnaigaiyae needhaanae
Ennai vetti ponadhumae poo thaenae
Velli kinnam kannankuzhi aalakkiyae
Enna senja en manasu paazhakkiyae
Sokkattalunae
Kann asaivinil vilundhaval naanae
Thathi thaaviyae
Un aruginil nizhal aanen
Muthangal thiruda vandhu
Sathangal poda vendam

Oh captivating girl,
I am the one who fell for the glance of your eyes.
Just to touch you and talk,
I became a shadow by your side.
My words stumble when I try to speak,
While my heart yearns with restless longing.
You are the smile that flashes like lightning,
Piercing right through me, my sweet honey.
Your silver-cup dimples completely charmed me,
What have you done, driving my heart crazy?
Oh handsome charmer,
I am the one who fell for the glance of your eyes.
Leaping and skipping along,
I became a shadow by your side.
When you come to steal kisses,
You don't have to make any noise;
I will gather all the sweet honey for you.
You blinked your eyes,
And an earthquake struck my heart;
A sweet riot stirred in our eyes.
Leaning against your chest,
A gentle calm is born.
Just like our natural attraction,
Closeness naturally brings us together.
Oh captivating girl,
Female: I am the one who fell for the glance of your eyes.
Just to touch you and talk,
Male: I became a shadow by your side.
Gathering up my hair,
Deep down to the roots touching my soul,
You sowed the seeds of love.
Resting on your lap,
I will find pure joy.
Every single day,
That is how it must be.
Without letting even the slightest hurt reach you,
I will stay by your side.
Drizzling a shower of love,
I will hold an umbrella as you get drenched.
Oh captivating girl,
Female: I am the one who fell for the glance of your eyes.
Male: Leaping and skipping along,
Female: I became a shadow by your side.
My words stumble when I try to speak,
Male: While my heart yearns with restless longing.
You are the smile that flashes like lightning,
Male: Piercing right through me, my sweet honey.
Oh handsome charmer...
