| Un kannukullara | Inside your eyes |
| Naan kaanaponenae | I went missing |
| Unna thottu pesa thaan | Just to touch and talk to you |
| Naan kaathanenae | I waited |
| Unn nenjukullara | Inside your heart |
| Naan nendhi ponenae | I swam across |
| Un moochchumothi thaan | Bashing against your breath |
| Naan keethananae | I got torn apart |
| Female | |
| Manasu unna suthi | Around you, my heart |
| Sozhi aattam adudhada | Plays the game of cowrie shells |
| Vayassu vanmurayai | Youth searches for |
| Thedudhada | Violence |
| Pudhusa vekkam vandhu | A new shyness arrives |
| Posukunudhan pookuthada | And suddenly blossoms |
| Onnum puriyama nikurenae | I stand unable to understand anything |
| Male | |
| Hey kalavani payala | Hey rogue thief boy |
| Ne kalavadita | You stole it away |
| Kattaayam avana ne kapathanum | You must definitely save him |
| Thalayaatti bommaiya | Into a bobblehead doll |
| Enna mathita | You turned me |
| Manassu mela manasa ne | Mind upon mind |
| Endi vecchi thechaa… | Why did you rub against me? |

உன் கண்ணுக்குள்ளார
நான் காணா போனேனே உன்ன
தொட்டு பேச தான் நான்
காத்தானேனே உன் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளாற
நான் நீந்தி போனேனே உன் மூச்சு
மோதி தான் நான் கீத்தானனே
Inside your eyes
I went missing
Just to touch and talk to you
I waited
Inside your heart
I swam across
Bashing against your breath
I got torn apart
மனசு உன்ன
சுத்தி சோழி ஆட்டம்
ஆடுதடா வயசு வன்முறையை
தேடுதடா புதுசா வெக்கம் வந்து
பொசுக்குனுதான் பூக்குதடா
ஒன்னும் புரியாம நிக்குறேனே
Around you, my heart
Plays the game of cowrie shells
Youth searches for
Violence
A new shyness arrives
And suddenly blossoms
I stand unable to understand anything
ஹே களவாணி
பயல நீ களவாடிட்ட
கட்டாயம் அவன நீ
காப்பாத்தணும் தலையாட்டி
பொம்மையா என்ன மாத்திட்ட
மனசு மேல மனச நீ ஏண்டி
வெச்சு தெச்ச
Hey rogue thief boy
You stole it away
You must definitely save him
Into a bobblehead doll
You turned me
Mind upon mind
Why did you rub against me?
உன் கண்ணுக்குள்ளார
நான் காணா போனேனே உன்ன
தொட்டு பேச தான் நான்
காத்தானேனே உன் நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளாற
நான் நீந்தி போனேனே உன் மூச்சு
மோதி தான் நான் கீத்தானனே
Inside your eyes
I went missing
Just to touch and talk to you
I waited
Inside your heart
I swam across
Bashing against your breath
I got torn apart...
அஞ்சாறு வென்னிலா
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள வந்துதான்
போகுதே ஏண்டி புள்ள
Five or six moons
Inside the heart
Come and pass by
Why, my girl?
கண் மூடி
பாத்தாலே வானத்துல
நீ தான்டா நீந்துற மேகத்துல
When I close my eyes and look
In the sky
It is you who swims
In the clouds
அய்யய்யோ
அய்யய்யோ கலரா
தெரியுறா
அய்யய்யோ
அய்யய்யோ குதிரை
ஓட்டுற
Oh my, oh my
You appear in bright colors
Female: Oh my, oh my
You ride a horse
என்னமோ
பண்ணுதே உள்ளுக்குள்ள
உன்னால உன் பட்டாம்பூச்சி
கண்ணு ரெண்டு வெட்டுதடி
Something mysterious happens
Deep inside because of you
Your two butterfly eyes
Flutter and cut through me
ஹே களவாணி
பயல நீ களவாடிட்ட
கட்டாயம் அவன நீ
காப்பாத்தணும் தலையாட்டி
பொம்மையா என்ன மாத்திட்ட
மனசு மேல மனச நீ ஏண்டி
வெச்சு தெச்ச
Hey rogue thief boy
You stole it away
You must definitely save him
Into a bobblehead doll
You turned me
Mind upon mind
Why did you rub against me?
சொல்லாம
நான் உன்ன அடக்கத்தாண்டி
சொல்லிட்டே நான் உன்ன
தொட பாத்தேன்டி
Without speaking a word
I tried to hold you back
While expressing it continuously
I tried to touch you
நான் தூங்கும்
அறை எல்லாம் உன்ன
பாத்தேண்டா முந்தா நாள்
கனவில் தான் கை
கோர்த்தேண்டா
All over the bedroom where I sleep
I saw only you
In the dream two days ago
I held hands with you
சத்தமே இல்லாம
சண்டைய மூட்டுற
ரத்தத்தில்
ராக்கெட்டை ஏன்டா
நீ ஓட்டுற
Without making any noise
You ignite a quiet battle
Female: A rocket in my blood
Why are you launching it?
மொத்தத்தில்
என்ன நீ பைத்தியம்
ஆக்குற உன் அங்கத்துல
கடை போட்டு என்ன வாங்குற
Altogether, you
Are driving me insane
Setting up a shop in your body
You are buying me over
ஹே களவாணி
பயல நீ களவாடிட்ட
கட்டாயம் அவன நீ
காப்பாத்தணும் தலையாட்டி
பொம்மையா என்ன மாத்திட்ட
மனசு மேல மனச நீ ஏண்டி
வெச்சு தெச்ச
Hey rogue thief boy
You stole it away
You must definitely save him
Into a bobblehead doll
You turned me
