Vazhiyil tholainthu pogavo
En viralgal korththu nadanthathu
Valikka valikka yaaradi en
Kanavai aruththu ponathu
Uthiram urugum urulum
Valigal thaanadi….ooohooh..
Kadakkum vazhiyil kidaikkumo
Un kaaladi…..oohoooh…
Laalaalaalaalaa….
Koondhal koondal alai vaasam
Ennai ennai suttruthae
Theeyai pola pattruthae
Uyirai ketkuthae
Vizhiththu paarththa pothu en
Velichcham kalavu ponathae
Velichcham pona paathaiyil
Iravai thedi parkkiraen
Irulil kalantha minnalai pirippathaaradi
Engae engae engae ponaai
Yaarin tholil thuyivaen naan
Osaiyindri azhuthaen
Udainthu pogiraen
Irumpin karangal koodi en
Manathai pariththu ponathae
Thuyaram thadaigal thaandiyae
Avalin mugaththai kaanavae povaen
Vazhiyil tholainthu pogavo

Laalaalalalaalaa
Was it only to get lost along the way,
that you held my fingers and walked with me?
Tell me, who was it that painfully
slashed my dreams and walked away?
My blood melts and pours out;
all that remains is pain... oh...
On the path I cross, will I ever find
your footprints?... oh...
La la la la la...
The fragrant waves of your hair
swirl all around me,
catching hold like fire,
demanding my very life.
When I opened my eyes and looked,
my light had been stolen away.
On this path where light has faded,
I search through the night.
Tell me, who can separate lightning once it blends into darkness?
Where, where, where have you gone?
On whose shoulder will I ever sleep now?
I wept without a sound,
and I am breaking apart.
Iron hands joined together
and snatched my heart away.
Overcoming all sorrow and obstacles,
I will go just to see her face.
Was it only to get lost along the way,
that you held my fingers and walked with me?
Tell me, who was it that painfully
slashed my dreams and walked away?
My blood melts and pours out;
all that remains is pain... oh...
On the path I cross, will I ever find
your footprints?... oh...
La la la la la...
