Thayavu seithu ennai kalavaadu
Thadayam illaamal kalavaadu
Vizhiyaal vizhiyai thirudi vidu
Viralaal kannam kalavaadu
Idhazhaal idhalai kollai adi
Idhaya pudhaiyal thondi edu
Pooththu nirkkum pookkalai ellaam
Killi killi nee kollai adi
Kaaththu vaiththa karpai mattum
Solli vittu nee kollaiyadi
Raari raari raari raa raari raari raari raa
Unnai pol oru aan maganai
En vaazhkkai veedhiyil kaanavillai
Yaei koovam nadhiyilae vennilavaa
Naanae ennai nampavillai
Female :Entha mazhai thuli engu vizhum
Megamum boomiyum arivathillai
Oh oo….Mannai thodaatha mazhaithuli naan
Un madiyil vizhunthaen vazhivathillai
Unnai thavira innoruvan
Vaazhvil enakku vaaippillai
En uyirum udalum semikka
Unnai thavira soththu illai
Male :Raari raari raatri raa raari raari raatri raa
Aasaikkaadu erikirathae
Anaiththida sonnaal yaedhu seivaai
Male :Mm….udhiram kanneer viyarvai ellaam
Oottri oottri naan anaippaen
Ennai parunthu koththa vanthaal
Idhaya naayaga yaedhu seivaai
Male :Parunthukku en sathai virunthaakki
Pachai kuyilai meettu eduppaen
Ulaga kaadhalai ondru seithu
Naan oruvan mattumae kadalippaen
Un uyirukethum yaedhum naermaiyil
Naan unakku mun pullaai mulaiththiruppaen
Please steal me away
Steal me without leaving a trace
Steal my eyes with your eyes
Steal my cheek with your fingers
Rob my lips with your lips
Dig up the treasure in my heart
All the flowers standing in full bloom,
Pluck them gently and take them away
Only the purity I have guarded so carefully,
Take it after you let me know
Raari raari raari raa raari raari raari raa
A man like you,
I have never seen on the path of my life
Hey, the bright moon shining over the Cooum river?
Even I could not believe it myself
Female: Which raindrop will fall where,
Neither the clouds nor the earth knows
Oh... I am a raindrop that has never touched the ground,
I fell into your lap, and I will not flow away
Besides you, another man
Has no place in my life
To protect my life and body,
I have no greater treasure than you
Male: Raari raari raathri raa raari raari raathri raa
The forest of desire is burning,
If I ask you to put it out, what will you do?
Male: Mmm... My blood, tears, and sweat,
I will pour them all out to put out the fire
If a hawk swoops down to attack me,
Lord of my heart, what will you do?
Male: I will offer my own flesh as a feast to the hawk,
And rescue my precious little bird
Gathering all the love in the world as one,
I alone will love you with all of it
If anything should ever happen to your life,
I will sprout as grass on your grave before you get there
