| Unnai paartha naal | The day I saw you |
| Unnai paartha naal | The day I saw you |
| Endhan vaazhvilae | In my entire life |
| Naan ennai paartha naal | Was the day I truly discovered myself |
| Male | |
| En jannalora eera saaralaai | Like a wet drizzle beside my window |
| Nindru sindhi sendraai | You stood, showered sweet drops, and went away |
| Enna naanum seivadho | What am I supposed to do now? |
| Konji pesi kolgiraai | You kill me with your playful sweet words |
| Male | |
| Nee yaaradi yaaradi sofia | Who are you, who are you, Sofia? |
| Nee pine mara pookkalin selfie-ya | Are you a selfie of pine tree blossoms? |
| Nee maanaseega maafia | Are you a psychological mafia? |
| Nee konjam kaadhal solviya | Will you speak a little love to me? |

| Sirippu koodaiyil pandhu pol urulgiren | I roll like a ball inside a basket of laughter |

| Vizhi moodi kondu thaan poga naan thuraviyaa | Am I a monk/ascetic to walk away with my eyes closed? |

உன்னை பார்த்த நாள்
உன்னை பார்த்த நாள்
எந்தன் வாழ்விலே
நான் என்னை பார்த்த நாள்
The day I saw you
The day I saw you
In my entire life
Was the day I truly discovered myself
என் ஜன்னலோர ஈர சாரலாய்
நின்று சிந்தி சென்றாய்
என்ன நானும் செய்வதோ
கொஞ்சி பேசி கொல்கிறாய்
Like a wet drizzle beside my window
You stood, showered sweet drops, and went away
What am I supposed to do now?
You kill me with your playful sweet words
நீ யாரடி யாரடி சோபியா
நீ பைன் மர பூக்களின் செல்பியா
நீ மானசீக மாபியா
நீ கொஞ்சம் காதல் சொல்வியா
Who are you, who are you, Sofia?
Are you a selfie of pine tree blossoms?
Are you a psychological mafia?
Will you speak a little love to me?
நீ யாரடி யாரடி சோபியா
நீ பைன் மர பூக்களின் செல்பியா
நீ மானசீக மாபியா
நீ கொஞ்சம் காதல் சொல்வியா
Who are you, who are you, Sofia?
Are you a selfie of pine tree blossoms?
Are you a psychological mafia?
Will you speak a little love to me?
இனிப்பு சாலையில் எறும்பு போல் நடக்கிறேன்
சிரிப்பு கூடையில் பந்து போல் உருள்கிறேன்
நீ பஞ்சு பூக்களால் பின்னிய பிறவியா
விழி மூடி கொண்டுதான் போக நான் துறவியா
I walk like an ant on a sweet candy road
I roll like a ball inside a basket of laughter
Are you a life form woven out of soft cotton flowers?
Am I a monk/ascetic to walk away with my eyes closed?
உன் வீட்டை தாண்டி போகும் நேரத்தில்
மேலும் மூச்சு வாங்கும்
உன் கைகள் செய்கை செய்யும் போதெல்லாம்
கால்கள் மேகம் தாண்டுதே
Whenever I cross past your house
My breath catches even deeper
Whenever your hands make a gentle gesture
My feet leap beyond the clouds
என் சுவாசத்தின் வாசத்தை ஈர்த்தவள்
என் மூச்சினில் மூலிகை சேர்த்தவள்
என் வாழ்வில் வாஞ்சை வார்தவள்
என் வீட்டுக்காக பூத்தவள்
The one who attracted the scent of my breath
The one who infused medicinal herbs into my breath
The one who poured fond affection into my life
The one who blossomed for the sake of my home
என் சுவாசத்தின் வாசத்தை ஈர்த்தவள்
என் மூச்சினில் மூலிகை சேர்த்தவள்
என் வாழ்வில் வாஞ்சை வார்தவள்
என் வீட்டுக்காக பூத்தவள்
The one who attracted the scent of my breath
The one who infused medicinal herbs into my breath
The one who poured fond affection into my life
The one who blossomed for the sake of my home
Unnai paartha naal
The day I saw you
Unnai paartha naal
The day I saw you
Endhan vaazhvilae
In my entire life
Naan ennai paartha naal
Was the day I truly discovered myself
En jannalora eera saaralaai
Like a wet drizzle beside my window
Nindru sindhi sendraai
You stood, showered sweet drops, and went away
Enna naanum seivadho
What am I supposed to do now?
Konji pesi kolgiraai
You kill me with your playful sweet words
Nee yaaradi yaaradi sofia
Who are you, who are you, Sofia?
Nee pine mara pookkalin selfie-ya
Are you a selfie of pine tree blossoms?
Nee maanaseega maafia
Are you a psychological mafia?
Nee konjam kaadhal solviya
Will you speak a little love to me?
Nee yaaradi yaaradi sofia
Who are you, who are you, Sofia?
Nee pine mara pookkalin selfie-ya
Are you a selfie of pine tree blossoms?
Nee maanaseega maafia
Are you a psychological mafia?
Nee konjam kaadhal solviya
Will you speak a little love to me?
Inippu saalaiyil erumbu pol nadakkiren
I walk like an ant on a sweet candy road
Sirippu koodaiyil pandhu pol urulgiren
I roll like a ball inside a basket of laughter
Nee panju pookkalaal pinniya piraviyaa
Are you a life form woven out of soft cotton flowers?
Vizhi moodi kondu thaan poga naan thuraviyaa
Am I a monk/ascetic to walk away with my eyes closed?
Un veettai thaandi pogum nerathil
Whenever I cross past your house
Melum moochu vaangum
My breath catches even deeper
Un kaigal seigai seiyum bothellaam
Whenever your hands make a gentle gesture
Kaalgal megam thaanduthae
My feet leap beyond the clouds
En swasathin vaasathai eerthaval
The one who attracted the scent of my breath
En moochinil moozhigai serthaval
The one who infused medicinal herbs into my breath
En vaazhvil vaanjai vaarthaval
The one who poured fond affection into my life
En veettukaaga poothaval
The one who blossomed for the sake of my home
En swasathin vaasathai eerthaval
The one who attracted the scent of my breath
En moochinil moozhigai serthaval
