Un vizhigalil vizhunthu naan ezhugirenI fall into your eyes and get back up
Ezhunthum yen marubadi vizhugirenEven after getting up, why do I fall again?
Un paarvaiyil thondrida alaigirenI wander, wishing to appear in your gaze
Alainthum yen marubadi tholaigirenEven after wandering, why do I lose myself again?
Orr nodiyum unnai naan pirinthaalIf I am separated from you even for a single second
Porkalathai unarven uyirilI feel a battlefield inside my soul
En aasai ellaam serthuGathering all my desires together
Orr kaditham varaigiren anbae..I am writing a letter, my love..

Unakathu therintha anbaeDid you realize that, my love?
En manam kaanalin neerena aagumaWill my heart become like a mirage?
