| Edhiril varum ennai | At me, who stands right in front of you, |
| Oru boommai pol paarkindraai | You gaze like I am a wooden doll. |

சொல்லாமலே சொல்லாமலே
உன் கண்கள் என் மீது
கல் வீசுதே
Without speaking a word, without speaking,
Your eyes at me,
Pelt stones.
சொல்லாமலே சொல்லாமலே
என் நெஞ்சம் உன்னோடு
கை வீசுதே
Without speaking a word, without speaking,
My heart towards you,
Waves its hands.
சலசலக்கும் நீரும் நீயே
படபடக்கும் தீயும் நீயே
எதிரில் வரும் என்னை
ஒரு பொம்மை போல் பார்க்கின்றாய்
குறும்பு விழியாலே
குடை சாய்த்து நீ போகின்றாய்
You are the gushing water,
You are also the crackling fire,
At me, who stands right in front of you,
You gaze like I am a wooden doll.
With mischievous eyes,
Tilting your umbrella, you walk away.
சொல்லாமலே சொல்லாமலே
உன் கண்கள் என் மீது
கல் வீசுதே
Without speaking a word, without speaking,
Your eyes at me,
Pelt stones.
.................
As if I have seen you somewhere before,
My heart speaks of you.
Are time and love,
Just a grand confusion?
எங்கேயோ பார்த்தது போலே
என் மனம் சொல்லுது உன்னை
காலமும் காதலும்
குழப்பம்தானோ
Putting on an innocent expression,
Yet proud is your appearance in a half-saree.
It trusts and believes,
Why does my heart do so?
பாவமாய் பாவனை காட்டும்
திமிரு உன் தாவணி தோற்றம்
நம்புதே நம்புதே
நெஞ்சம் ஏனோ
Standing here completely intoxicated in love,
Is it solely because of you?
உண்மையாய் நான் நிற்பது
உன்னாலேதானோ
Without speaking a word, without speaking,
Your eyes at me,
Pelt stones.
சொல்லாமலே சொல்லாமலே
உன் கண்கள் என் மீது
கல் வீசுதே
Appearing like a storm at first glance,
Yet you are a gentle breeze, a divine angel.
You performed some unknown magic within me.
பார்த்ததும் புயலாய் தோன்றும்
தென்றல் நீ தேவதை அம்சம்
எண்ணிலே என்னவோ மாயம் செய்தாய்
Though there are a thousand words,
Holding onto total silence,
Why did you bind my heart today?
வார்த்தைகள் ஆயிரம் உண்டு
ஆயினும் மௌனம் கொண்டு
மனதை நீ முடினாய் ஏனோ இன்று
In just a single word,
In your life,
Please grant me a place.
ஓர் வார்த்தையில்
உன் வாழ்வில்
ஓரிடம் தாயானேன்
You are the gushing water,
You are also the crackling fire,
At me, who stands right in front of you,
You gaze like I am a wooden doll.
With mischievous eyes,
Tilting your umbrella, you walk away.
சலசலக்கும் நீரும் நீயே
படபடக்கும் தீயும் நீயே
எதிரில் வரும் என்னை
ஒரு பொம்மை போல் பார்க்கின்றாய்
குறும்பு விழியாலே
குடை சாய்த்து நீ போகின்றாய்
Without speaking a word, without speaking,
Your eyes at me,
Pelt stones.
