Thithikkirathae kangal yethethanaiyo pengal
Adhil unnai mattum kandal uyir poraadum
Unnai thodarum sorkal pathikiradhae parkal
Idhu thaan un thaakkam endraal manam ennaagum
Oru naal naan kai pidippen
Endru yositha kaalam adhuvae
Un mel naan konda kaadhalukae
Kaalam maalaigal soottiyadhingae
Un viral koorthu oru nedun dhooram
Nilai ariyamal naan nadappen
Un mugam paarthu en vizhi moodi
Pala yugam kuda naan kadappen
Kaalaiyil poorvaikul undhan
Chinna mugam kandu
Naan ennaiyae killi dhinam viyapenae
En pakkathil nee irukka
Ivan ivan vaazhvu oru
Muththathaal nandri solli naanum siripenae
Maraindhae naan kadhai pesum
Marathin arugil nedu kural ketkum
Alai vaangi alaikaamal
Inimel karaigal nam thadam yerkum
Un otrai chithiram macham

Un mugam paarthu en vizhi moodi
Pala yugam kuda naan kadappen

Adhil unnai mattum kandal uyir poraadum
Unnai thodarum sorkal pathikiradhae parkal
Idhu thaan un thaakkam endraal manam ennaagum
My eyes find sweetness among so many women,
yet seeing only you, my soul struggles for breath.
As words pursue you, teeth bite down in longing;
if this is your effect on me, what will become of my heart?
That one day I would hold your hand—
that was once just a dream in my thoughts.
Yet for the love I held for you,
time has now blessed us with wedding garlands.
Holding your hand tightly, across great distances,
I will walk, completely lost to the world.
Gazing at your face and closing my eyes,
I could easily cross through lifetimes.
In the morning under the blanket,
seeing your sweet little face,
I will pinch myself every day in pure wonder.
With you lying right beside me,
for this blessed life of mine,
I will say thank you with a kiss and a smile.
Hiding away where I used to whisper secrets,
near the tree, our voices will now carry far.
Without being tossed around by restless waves,
the shores will now welcome our footsteps together.
Your beauty spot, a delicate work of art,
like the bright moon in the dark night,
and in your playful, captivating eyes,
flashes of sharp lightning sparkle.
Holding your hand tightly, across great distances,
I will walk, completely lost to the world.
Gazing at your face and closing my eyes,
I could easily cross through lifetimes.
My eyes find sweetness among so many women,
yet seeing only you, my soul struggles for breath.
As words pursue you, teeth bite down in longing;
if this is your effect on me, what will become of my heart?
