Nee en ulgam raasathiyae
Adi unna neenguna neram usurilla
Female : Nee en swasam en paadhiyae
Ada nee illadhaa naanum naanilaa
Dhevadhaiyae nee ennodu vaa
Kaadhal kootilae vaazhndhu paarkalaam
Karaiyula kaadhal oorudhae
Kadal thanni koodaa inikudhae
Kavalaigal kaathilodi kalaanji pogudhae

You are my world, my queen.
The moment I am away from you, there is no life in me.
Female: You are my breath, my other half.
Without you, I am not myself at all.
My angel, come with me,
Let's live together in our nest of love.
Love wells up along the seashore,
Even the sea water tastes sweet.
All my worries dissolve and drift away.
I see your face in the moon,
And become the cloud that embraces you.
With no heart to part from you, I keep wandering around.
A cool, gentle breeze blows softly in my heart,
And life turns as colorful as a rainbow.
You cast a hook with your eyes,
And reel in my very soul.
You intoxicate and charm me with your smile.
I keep forgetting myself,
And when you touch me, I am born again.
I jump around like a joyful child on the ground.
Every time I look at you,
Even the salty sea breeze turns sweet.
When the sky and the earth unite,
It all becomes heaven.
