Unnil paathi ennil paathi
Sernthathintha kaadhal jothi
Meendum meendum usuril thulluthae
Nenjil vanthu yeri kodi
Poga vendumae savari
Kaadhal avndhu kadhaigal solluthae
Manasoduthaan manam serudhu
Kanavodu than kai seruthu

Half in you, half in me
This flame of love has united us
Again and again, it leaps within my soul
Climbing into my heart like a creeper vine
We must go on a ride
Love becomes real and tells stories
Heart unites with heart
Hand joins with hand along with dreams
Only with you

You and I are never separate
Four eyes met in a single gaze
Both our hearts are not separate
Desires gather and reach the heart
When thirst arrives, the body warms up
Female: Let us hold hands, and our yearning will subside
Both: This is a new path
It must be given again and again
