| Female | |
| Unai kaanavae | To see you |
| Vizhigal moodinen | I closed my eyes |
| Kanavin vazhiyaal | Through the path of dreams |
| Unai en udan | Having you with me |
| Ulavu paarpathae | Strolling together |
| Nilavin thozhilaa | Is that the moon's work? |
| Female | |
| Ithu thaanae | Is this indeed |
| Muthal naal | The first day |
| Ilam kaathal | Of young love |
| Thirunaal | A festive day? |

| Vaa nila indru nee | Come, moon, today you... |
| Un vaanaththai vittu | Leave your sky |
| Sendridu thooram | And go far away |
| Kann kottum minnalum | Even the winking lightning |
| Vendaam indru endrae | "We don't need it today", |
| Sollidum neram | It's the time to say so |
| Female | |
| En maeni engum | All over my body |
| Megam alaipaayum | Clouds wander around |
| Or vetkam kondae | With a shy blush |
| Vaanam niram maarum | The sky changes color |
| Vin meengal vanthae | The stars come down |
| Veettil kudi yerum | And settle inside the house |
| En koonthal pookalum | Even the flowers in my hair |
| Gaeli seiyumae | Tease me playfully |

உன்னை காணவே விழிகள் மூடினேன்
கனவின் வழியால்
உன்னை என் உடன் உளவு பார்ப்பது
நிலவின் தொழிலா
To see you
I closed my eyes
Through the path of dreams
Having you with me
Strolling together
Is that the moon's work?
இது தானே முதல் நாள்
இளம் காதல் திருநாள்
இது தானே முதல் நாள்
இளம் காதல் திருநாள்
Is this indeed
The first day
Of young love
A festive day?
வா நிலா இன்று நீ உன் வானத்தை
விட்டு சென்றிடு தூரம்
கண் கொட்டும் மின்னலும் வேண்டாம்
இன்று என்றே சொல்லிடும் நேரம்
Is this indeed
The first day
Of young love
A festive day?
என் மேனி எங்கும்
மேகம் அலைபாயும்
ஓர் வெட்கம் கொண்டே
வானம் நிறம் மாறும்
வின் மீன்கள் வந்தே
வீட்டில் குடி ஏறும்
என் கூந்தல் பூக்களும்
கேலி செய்யுமே
Come, moon, today you...
Leave your sky
And go far away
Even the winking lightning
"We don't need it today",
It's the time to say so
வா நிலா இன்று நீ உன் வானத்தை
விட்டு சென்றிடு தூரம்
கண் கொட்டும் மின்னலும் வேண்டாம்
இன்று என்றே சொல்லிடும் நேரம்
All over my body
Clouds wander around
With a shy blush
The sky changes color
The stars come down
And settle inside the house
Even the flowers in my hair
Tease me playfully
புது ஓசையின் உருவம் பேசுதே
எதனால் எதனால்
பரிகாசமாய் பதுமை பாக்குதே
எதனால் எதனால்
இதழ் ஓரமாய் குளிரும் வேர்வையே
துடித்ததால் என்ன
தடையாகிடும் போர்வை கொஞ்சமாய்
உடைத்தால் என்ன
மெழுகாக கரைந்தேன்
உயிரோடு உறைந்தேன்
நமக்கான இள மாலை
இருள் வேளை வருகிறதே
Come, moon, today you...
Leave your sky
And go far away
Even the winking lightning
"We don't need it today",
It's the time to say so
மெதுவாகவே மெழுகு தீபம்
உருகும் உருகும்
இலை போலவே
இரவு நேரமும் உதிரும் உதிரும்
பரிமாறவும் பசிகள் ஆறவும் நேரம் எங்கே
இமை மூடினால் இரவு
போய் விடும் வா வா அன்பே
In a new sound
A form speaks
Female: Why, oh why?
மழை சாரல் விழலாம்
அணை தாண்டி வரலாம்
நகராமல் நனைவோம்
நனைவோம் விடியும் வரை
Mockingly
The doll looks on
Female: Why, oh why?
வா நிலா இன்று நீ உன் வானத்தை
விட்டு சென்றிடு தூரம்
கண் கொட்டும் மின்னலும் வேண்டாம்
இன்று என்றே சொல்லிடும் நேரம்
At the edge of the lips
The sweat that trickles
Female: What if you wipe it?
என் மேனி எங்கும்
மேகம் அலைபாயும்
ஓர் வெட்கம் கொண்டே
வானம் நிறம் மாறும்
வின் மீன்கள் வந்தே
வீட்டில் குடி ஏறும்
என் கூந்தல் பூக்களும்
கேலி செய்யுமே
Becoming a barrier
The blanket, a little
Female: What if we push it away?
I melted like wax
I froze inside with life
The soft evening made for us
The dark night hour is approaching
Slowly
A wax lamp
Female: Melts, melts
Like leaves
The night time too
Sheds, sheds away
To exchange affection
To satisfy our hunger
Where is the time?
If I close my eyes
The night will slip away
Come, come my love
A drizzle of rain
May fall upon us
Overflowing beyond barriers
Shall we get soaked slowly?
Shall we stay drenched till dawn?
Come, moon, today you...
Leave your sky
And go far away
Even the winking lightning
"We don't need it today",
It's the time to say so
All over my body
Clouds wander around
With a shy blush
The sky changes color
The stars come down
And settle inside the house
Even the flowers in my hair
Tease me playfully
Unai kaanavae

Vaa nila indru nee
Come, moon, today you...
Un vaanaththai vittu
Leave your sky
Sendridu thooram
And go far away
Kann kottum minnalum

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This sensual and romantic track captures the intimacy and unspoken passion between two lovers entering their first night together. The protagonist addresses nature—asking the moon and lightning to step away so that their privacy remains undisturbed. The lyrics express the heightened sensitivity of love, where even small moments like sweat on lips, the softness of a blanket, and the flickering wax candle evoke deep longing.
