இது பற்றி பாயும் பாமாலை
செவிச் சேர்த்து செல்லும் காதலை
தீண்டும் நெஞ்சிலே சாரலை
தீண்டாதோ மின்னலை
தேடும் தென்றலை
சொல்ல சொல்லில்லை
சொல்லில்லை இல்லை
This is a verse-song catching fire and spreading fast
Carrying love straight to the listening ears
Like a gentle drizzle touching the yearning heart
Will it not touch the flash of lightning?
Searching for the roaming breeze
There are no words to express, no words at all

Friendship shared over a cup of tea
Endless, never-ending conversations
Fireflies shining on the back seat
Always pure bliss upon this earth
காலேஜ்ஜில் ஏஞ்சல்கள்..
கண்ணாலே தூண்டில்கள்...
காலண்டர் பேபிகள்...
கொண்டாடு இளமையின்
விழிகளிலே...
Angels wandering in college corridors
Playful signals made with eyes
Calendar-like stunning beauties
Celebrate youthfulness in their eyes

This is a verse-song catching fire and spreading fast
Carrying love straight to the listening ears
Like a gentle drizzle touching the yearning heart
Will it not touch the flash of lightning?
Searching for the roaming breeze

நீர் வீழ்ச்சி காலங்கள்
என்னாலும் இனிமைகள்
இயற்கையிலே
A truthful friendship free of lies
A lover leaning gently on the shoulder
An everlasting, timeless beauty
Gives unending happiness
Whenever I reflect upon it
