| Neeyillaama naa tholanjaen | Without you, I was lost |
| Adha sollaama naa alanjaen | Without telling anyone, I wandered aimlessly |
| Male | |
| Un kooda naa inga vaazhanum | I want to live here with you |
| En veettil un paechum kaekanum | I want to hear your voice in my home |
| Kan moodiyae kadhachaenadi | I spoke with my eyes closed, my dear |
| Mounangalaal anachaenadi | I embraced you with silence, my dear |
| Kaathaadi pol thirinjaenadi | I drifted around like a kite, my dear |
| Ona paarthathum oranjaenadi | The moment I saw you, I froze in place, my dear |

நீயில்லாம நான் தொலைஞ்சேன்
அதை சொல்லாம நான் அலைஞ்சேன்
Without you, I was lost
Without telling anyone, I wandered aimlessly
உன் கூட நான் இங்க வாழணும்
என் வீட்டில் உன் பேச்சும் கேக்கணும்
கண் மூடியே கதைச்சேன்டி
மௌனங்களால் அனைச்சேனடி
காத்தாடி போல் திரிஞ்சேனடி
ஒன பார்த்ததும் ஓரஞ்சேனடி
I want to live here with you
I want to hear your voice in my home
I spoke with my eyes closed, my dear
I embraced you with silence, my dear
I drifted around like a kite, my dear
The moment I saw you, I froze in place, my dear
தேன்மொழி என் தேன்மொழி
சில்வண்டு போல் எனை சுத்து நீ
தேன்மொழி என் தேன்மொழி
கல்லாளி நீ என் உயிரடி
Thenmozhi, my sweet-spoken girl
Circle around me like a cricket
Thenmozhi, my sweet-spoken girl
You artist of my heart, you are my life, my dear
நீயில்லாம நான் தொலைஞ்சேன்
அதை சொல்லாம நான் அலைஞ்சேன்
Without you, I was lost
Without telling anyone, I wandered aimlessly
உள் நாக்கின் ஓரம் உயிர் சாயக்கூடம்
சொல்லாத வார்த்தை முத்தங்களாகும்
நில்லாமல் போகும் நேரங்கள்
கைநீட்டி ஏதோ பேசினாய்
சண்டைகள் எல்லாமே கண்ணோரம் போடாதே
உயிரோரமா நான் தேயிறேன்
Life might tilt at the edge of the inner tongue
Unsaid words will turn into kisses
Times that pass without stopping
Reaching out your hands, you spoke something
Do not cast all fights at the corners of your eyes
I am wearing away at the edge of my soul
தேன்மொழி என் தேன்மொழி
சில்வண்டு போல் எனை சுத்து நீ
தேன்மொழி என் தேன்மொழி
கல்லாளி நீ என் உயிரடி
Thenmozhi, my sweet-spoken girl
Circle around me like a cricket
Thenmozhi, my sweet-spoken girl
You artist of my heart, you are my life, my dear
ஓ....நீயில்லாம நான் தொலைஞ்சேன்
அதை சொல்லாம நான் அலைஞ்சேன்
Without you, I was lost
Without telling anyone, I wandered aimlessly
ஒரு வாரம் மட்டும்
பிரிஞ்சாலே போதும்
என் போர்வையும் உனையே கேக்கும்
Even if we separate
Just for a single week
Even my blanket will ask for you
A game of tag and dodge
As we keep touching and running
The heart alone is the reason
Oh my, you who cannot be contained by mere words
I must try to reform you
A cup of tea in the drizzle
My beloved offers it to me
Under an umbrella in a rainfall
Near the corner of your eyes
You brought and gathered the whole sky, my beloved
You gathered it, my beloved
சடுகுடு ஆட்டம்
தொட தொடா போட
மனசுதான் காரணம்
அடடடா சொல்லி அடங்கிடா உன்ன
திருத்ததான் பாக்கணும்
I want to live here with you
I want to hear your voice in my home
I spoke with my eyes closed, my dear
I embraced you with silence, my dear
I drifted around like a kite, my dear
The moment I saw you, I froze in place, my dear
சாரலில் ஒரு தேனீரை
நீட்டுது என் கண்ணாளா
குடையில ஒரு மழையில
நீ வானத்த கண்ணோரம்
கொண்டாந்து சேர்த்தாயடா
சேர்த்தாயடா
Thenmozhi, my sweet-spoken girl
Circle around me like a cricket
Thenmozhi, my sweet-spoken girl
You artist of my heart, you are my life, my dear
உன் கூட நான் இங்க வாழணும்
என் வீட்டில் உன் பேச்சும் கேக்கணும்
கண் மூடியே கதைச்சேன்டி
மௌனங்களால் அனைச்சேனடி
காத்தாடி போல் திரிஞ்சேனடி
ஒன பார்த்ததும் ஓரஞ்சேனடி
Without you, I was lost
Without telling anyone, I wandered aimlessly
தேன்மொழி என் தேன்மொழி
சில்வண்டு போல் எனை சுத்து நீ
தேன்மொழி என் தேன்மொழி
கல்லாளி நீ என் உயிரடி
நீயில்லாம நான் தொலைஞ்சேன்
அதை சொல்லாம நான் அலைஞ்சேன்

Adha sollaama naa alanjaen
Without telling anyone, I wandered aimlessly
Un kooda naa inga vaazhanum

I embraced you with silence, my dear
Kaathaadi pol thirinjaenadi
I drifted around like a kite, my dear

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Thenmozhi from the movie Kaayal is a tender, acoustic romantic ballad depicting the depth of love, intimacy, and sweet longing between two lovers. The lyrics describe how love turns everyday silence into profound comfort and how the presence of the beloved fills the speaker's life with direction, moving away from aimless wandering to a deep sense of belonging. The song captures simple, beautiful moments of togetherness, such as sharing warm tea in the rain under a single umbrella, while also expressing the unbearable ache felt even during a brief separation of a week. Dhamayanthi's poetic phrasing blends innocence and emotional intensity effortlessly.
