வேதனைத் தீயினில் வேகுது மனமே
வீணாகுதே என் வாழ்க்கை இவ்விதமே
நீதியிதானோ பிடிவாதமேனோ
நீயில்லாது ஒரு ஆதாரமேது....

My heart is burning in the fire of agony.
My life is going to waste in this manner.

உனை நாடி இசை பாடி என் மனம் உருகுதே
ஹா...ஆ..ஆஅ..ஆஅ...ஆ...
உனை நாடி இசை பாடி என் மனம் உருகுதே
இணை மலர் விழிகளின் எழில் காண ஏங்குதே
கனிவான மொழி ஒன்று அரிதாச்சு எனக்கின்று
கனியாத உன் உள்ளம் கனிவதோ என்று....
சோதனை ஏனோ பேதை பெண் மீது
துயர் தீர அன்போடு கண் பார்த்திடாது
சோதனை ஏனோ பேதை பெண் மீது..ஹா..ஆ..ஆ..
Seeking you and singing music, my heart melts.
