Un vizhigalil vizhunthu naan ezhugiren
Ezhunthum yen marubadi vizhugiren
Un paarvaiyil thondrida alaigiren
Alainthum yen marubadi tholaigiren
Orr nodiyum unnai naan pirinthaal
Porkalathai unarven uyiril
En aasai ellaam serthu
Orr kaditham varaigiren anbae..
Un vizhigalil vizhunthu naan ezhugiren
Ezhunthum yen marubadi vizhugiren
Dhoorathil thondridum megathai polavae
Naan unai paarkiren anbae
Saaralaai orr murai nee ennai theendinaai
Unakathu therintha anbae
En manam kaanalin neerena aaguma
Kaigalil seruma anbae
Nesikkum kaalam thaan veenena poguma
Ninaivugal serkkiren ingae
Aayinum kaadhalin kaigalil
Virumbiyae vizhugiren anbae
Pookkalil thondridum vannangal polavae
Pengalin nenjam thaanada
Vannathu poochiyin vannangal polavae
Aangalin nenjam thaanada
Vannangal verena thondridum podhilum
Ennangal seruma anbae
Vannathu poochiyin siragugal modhavae
Idhazhgalum ullathae ingae
Aayinum kaadhalin kaigalil
Virumbiyae vizhugiren anbae
Un vizhigalil vizhunthu naan ezhugiren
Ezhunthum yen marubadi vizhugiren
I fall into your eyes and rise again,
yet after rising, why do I fall once more?
I wander about just to appear in your gaze,
yet even after wandering, why do I get lost again?
If I part from you even for a second,
I feel a battlefield within my soul.
Gathering all my desires,
I write a letter, my love...
I fall into your eyes and rise again,
yet after rising, why do I fall once more?
Like a cloud appearing in the distance,
I look at you, my love.
Like a gentle drizzle, you touched me once;
did you even know that, my love?
Will my heart turn into water in a mirage?
Can it ever be gathered in hands, my love?
Will this time spent loving go to waste?
I keep gathering memories here.
Even so, into the hands of love,
I willingly fall, my love.
Just like the colors that appear on flowers,
such is a woman's heart.
Just like the colors of a butterfly,
such is a man's heart.
Even though the colors seem different,
will our thoughts unite, my love?
For the butterfly's wings to brush against,
there are petals right here.
Even so, into the hands of love,
I willingly fall, my love.
I fall into your eyes and rise again,
yet after rising, why do I fall once more?
