| Male | |
| Udhiraa kaayangal | Unshed wounds |
| Ularaa eerangal | Un-drying moisture |
| Manadhin aazhaththil | In the depths of the mind |
| Eriyum orangal | Burning edges |
| Male | |
| Medhuvaai oigiren | Slowly I quiet down |
| Pugaiyaai theigiren | I wear away like smoke |
| Maranam thediyae | Searching for death |
| Madiyil saaigiren | I lean onto its lap |
| Male | |
| Vellai kaagitham… aagiren | I become a blank white paper |
| Thooyavari ezhudhum maranamae | Oh death that writes pure lines |
| Pazhigal meeriyae | Transcending all blame |
| Sirithaai meelgiren | I emerge back smilingly |
| Anaiyum velaiyil | At the moment of extinguishing |
| Oliyaai neelgiren | I stretch out as light |
| Male | |
| Medhuvaai oigiren | Slowly I quiet down |
| Pugaiyaai theigiren | I wear away like smoke |
| Maranam thediyae | Searching for death |

| Male | |
| Andha kaalanin vaasanai | The scent of that God of Death |
| Naan nugarum kavidhai nimidamae | Is a poetic moment that I inhale |
| Or thooyanaai | As a pure soul |
| En saavai aalgiren | I rule over my death |

உதிரா காயங்கள்
உலரா ஈரங்கள் மனதின்
ஆழத்தில் எரியும் ஓரங்கள்
Unshed wounds
Un-drying moisture
In the depths of the mind
Burning edges
மெதுவாய் ஓய்கிறேன்
புகையாய் தேய்கிறேன் மரணம்
தேடியே மடியில் சாய்கிறேன்
Slowly I quiet down
I wear away like smoke
Searching for death
I lean onto its lap
வெள்ளை காகிதம்
ஆகிறேன் தூயவரி எழுதும்
மரணமே பழிகள் மீறியே
சிறிதாய் மீள்கிறேன் அணையும்
வேளையில் ஒளியாய் நீள்கிறேன்
I become a blank white paper
Oh death that writes pure lines
Transcending all blame
I emerge back smilingly
At the moment of extinguishing
I stretch out as light
மெதுவாய் ஓய்கிறேன்
புகையாய் தேய்கிறேன் மரணம்
தேடியே மடியில் சாய்கிறேன்
Slowly I quiet down
I wear away like smoke
Searching for death
I lean onto its lap
அந்த காலனின்
வாசனை நான் நுகரும்
கவிதை நிமிடமே ஓர்
தூயனாய் என் சாவை
ஆள்கிறேன்
The scent of that God of Death
Is a poetic moment that I inhale
As a pure soul
I rule over my death
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம்
ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் உதிரா காயங்கள்
உலரா ஈரங்கள் மனதின்
ஆழத்தில் எரியும் ஓரங்கள்
Hmm..mmm.. hmmm..mmm..
Hmmmm…mm…mmm
