| On kooda thunaiyaaga naan | I want to come as your companion, |
| Vara venumae | I want to come along, |
| Adhilae sugam pera venumae | And find pure bliss in that togetherness. |
| On kooda odhungaama kaal | Without veering away, my feet |
| Nada podumae | Will keep walking beside you, |
| Ona seravae padi thaandumae | To unite with you, I will cross all boundaries. |
| Ona nerunga iravu pagal azhagaagumae | As I draw closer to you, day and night turn beautiful, |
| Uyir uruga pazhagi vidu adhu podhumae | Just let your soul melt and get used to this love, that is enough. |
| Oru naalumae…ae…. velagaamalae…ae… | Without ever separating for a single day, |
| Unnodu vaazha saerum ellaamae | Everything comes together to live life with you. |

| Female | |
| Avara kodiyaa una vidaama | Like a broad-bean vine that holds on without leaving you, |
| Padara nenappen mala kaattula | I desire to spread over you like flora in a mountain forest. |
| Kavala thuliyum thoda vidaama | Without letting even a single drop of sorrow touch you, |
| Unaiyum sumappen uyir koottula | I will carry you within the nest of my soul. |
| Oorae serndhu adichu thuvachaalum | Even if the entire village gathers to thrash and beat me down, |
| Onna sera pozhachu kedappenae | I will survive and endure just to unite with you. |
| On kaiyila kai regaiyaa | Like the lines on the palm of your hand, |
| Olinju iruppenae ulaga marappenae | I will stay hidden inside and forget this world. |

ஒன்......கூட தொணையாக
நான் வர வேணுமே
அதிலே சுகம் பெற வேணுமே
ஒன்......கூட ஒதுங்காம
கால் நட போடுமே
ஒன சேரவே படி தாண்டுமே
ஒன நெருங்க இரவு பகல் அழகாகுமே
உயிர் உருக பழகி விடு அது போதுமே
ஒரு நாளுமே....ஏ......வெலகாமலே.....ஏ.....
உன்னோடு வாழ சேரும் எல்லாமே
I want to come as your companion,
I want to come along,
And find pure bliss in that togetherness.
Without veering away, my feet
Will keep walking beside you,
To unite with you, I will cross all boundaries.
As I draw closer to you, day and night turn beautiful,
Just let your soul melt and get used to this love, that is enough.
Without ever separating for a single day,
Everything comes together to live life with you.
ஒன்.......கூட தொணையாக
நான் வர வேணுமே
அதிலே சுகம் பெற வேணுமே
I want to come as your companion,
I want to come along,
And find pure bliss in that togetherness.
....................................
அவரக் கொடியா ஒன விடாம
படர நெனப்பேன் மலக் காட்டுல
கவல துளியும் தொட விடாம
உனையும் சுமப்பேன் உயிர் கூட்டுல
ஊரே சேந்து அடிச்சு துவச்சாலும்
ஒன்ன சேர பொழச்சு கெடப்பேனே
ஒன் கையில கை ரேகையா
ஒளிஞ்சு இருப்பேனே உலக மறப்பேனே
Like a broad-bean vine that holds on without leaving you,
I desire to spread over you like flora in a mountain forest.
Without letting even a single drop of sorrow touch you,
I will carry you within the nest of my soul.
Even if the entire village gathers to thrash and beat me down,
I will survive and endure just to unite with you.
Like the lines on the palm of your hand,
I will stay hidden inside and forget this world.
ஒன் கூட தொணையாக
நான் வர வேணுமே
அதிலே சுகம் பெற வேணுமே
ஒன் கூட...........
I want to come as your companion,
I want to come along,
And find pure bliss in that togetherness.
With you...
பொழுது விடியும் வர நிலாவாய்
மெதந்து வருவேன் தல கோதிட
விடிஞ்ச பெறகும் பகல் கனாவாய்
ஒதுங்க மறப்பேன் கதை கேட்டிட
வானம் பூரா சலிச்சு எடுத்தாலும்
யாரும் இல்ல ஒனக்கு இணையாக
என் கண்ணுல தங்காம நீ
ஒதுங்க நினைக்காத உசுர ஒடிக்காத
Like the moon floating till dawn breaks,
I will drift over to gently caress your hair.
Even after dawn, as a daydream,
I will forget to move away, just to listen to your stories.
Even if one sifts through the entire expanse of the sky,
There is no one who can ever be your equal.
Without staying in my eyes,
Do not think of moving away; do not shatter my life.
