On kannanguzhiyil

Enna izhukka paakkura

Kedanthu parithavikkiren

Naaum en imaigalaala

Naan parakkuren

Un nizhala kooda naan rasikkiren

Paadhi kannil naa paakkuren

Kaadhaalaanu naa ketkkiren

Paadhi kannil naa paakkuren

Enna senja naa thokkuren

On kannanguzhiyil

Enna izhukka paakkura

Kedanthu parithavikkiren

Naaum en imaigalaala

Naan parakkuren

Un nizhala kooda naan rasikkiren

Paadhi kannil naa paakkuren

Kaadhaalaanu naa ketkkiren

Paadhi kannil naa paakkuren

Enna senja naa thokkuren

Venaam venaanu

Naanum solla solla

Kettidaama kaal poguthae daa

Venum venunu

Needhaan pesum neram

Poividaama neela venumae daa…

Naan inga naanaaga illa

Naethoda naan kaanavilla

Sollaamae thallaaduren…

Unna paadhi kannil naa paakkuren

Kaadhaalaanu naa ketkkiren

Paadhi kannil naa paakkuren

Enna senja naa thokkuren

Into your dimples,

You try to pull me in,

And I'm lying here, restless and yearning.

With the flutter of my eyelashes,

I am flying.

I even adore your shadow.

I look at you through half-closed eyes,

And ask myself, "Is this love?"

I look at you through half-closed eyes,

Whatever I do, I lose to you.

Into your dimples,

You try to pull me in,

And I'm lying here, restless and yearning.

With the flutter of my eyelashes,

I am flying.

I even adore your shadow.

I look at you through half-closed eyes,

And ask myself, "Is this love?"

I look at you through half-closed eyes,

Whatever I do, I lose to you.

Even as I say, "No, don't,"

Again and again,

My feet move toward you without listening.

Saying, "I want this, I need this,"

The moments when you talk to me

Should stretch on forever without slipping away...

I am not myself here anymore,

Since yesterday, I have gone missing,

Without a word, I keep swaying...

I look at you through half-closed eyes,

And ask myself, "Is this love?"

I look at you through half-closed eyes,

Whatever I do, I lose to you.
