Unnaala thanae unnaala thanae
Kanavodu naanum vaazhkindrene…
Kannaana kannae en jeevan neeyae
Epothum en vaazhvin oli neeyada…
Ennoda kalam ini unakaga odum
Munnaadi pogum un vaazhkaiye…
Magane ne munneru un paadhaiyil
Ini velichangal undaagum un vaazhvile…
Magane ne munneru un paadhaiyil
Ini velichangal undaagum un vaazhvile…
Magane ne munneru un paadhaiyil
Ini vetrangal undaagum un vaazhvile…
Unnaala thanae unnaala thanae
Kanavodu naanum vaazhkindrene…
Kannaana kannae en jeevan neeyae
Epothum en vaazhvin oli neeyada…
Kaalangal ponalum nerangal ponalum
Magane en paasam than pogaathaiyaa..
Kaalangal ponalum nerangal ponalum

Ulagam un pinnaadi oru naalum varume
Nee pogum idamellam unathagume…

Only because of you, only because of you,
I am living with dreams...
Apple of my eye, you are my very life,
You are always the light of my life, my son...
From now on, my time moves only for you,
Your life will march forward ahead...
My son, move forward on your path,
Bright light will fill your life from now on...
My son, move forward on your path,
Bright light will fill your life from now on...
My son, move forward on your path,
Success will be yours in life from now on...
Only because of you, only because of you,
I am living with dreams...
Apple of my eye, you are my very life,
You are always the light of my life, my son...
Even if eras pass and time flies away,
My son, my love for you will never fade...
Even if eras pass and time flies away,
My son, my love for you will never fade...
One day, the world will follow right behind you,
Every place you go will become your own...
Even if whirling storms
come striking down, my son,
I will stand there to guide you safely ashore...
I will protect you as dear as my own life,
I will work hard until my fingernails wear away...
New dreams will arrive
beautifully, day after day...
Only because of you, only because of you,
I am living with dreams...
Apple of my eye, you are my very life,
You are always the light of my life, my son...
From now on, my time moves only for you,
Your life will march forward ahead...
My son, move forward on your path,
Bright light will fill your life from now on...
My son, move forward on your path,
Bright light will fill your life from now on...
My son, move forward on your path,
Success will be yours in life from now on...
Only because of you, only because of you,
I am living with dreams...
Apple of my eye, you are my very life,
You are always the light of my life, my son...
