| Male | |
| Neela neela vaanam | The deep blue sky |
| Thoodhu pogum megam | The clouds floating like messengers |
| Ondru sera naamum | For both of us to come together |
| Yaeno intha vegam | Why is there this sudden urgency? |
| Female | |
| Unnai thaandi poga | To move past you |
| Kangal rendum noga | Both my eyes ache |
| Nee thedum penmai enthan thegam vaada | While the womanhood you seek causes my body to languish |
| Male | |
| Manjam vaanilaa | The couch feels like the moon in the sky |
| Neeyo thaen palaa | And you are like sweet honeyed jackfruit |
| Kadhal kooduthaa | Is love deepening? |
| Kaamam yaeruthaa | Is desire rising? |
| Female | |
| Thanimai thediyae | Searching for solitude |
| Idhazhai theendum | Touching the lips |
| Nee maaya kannano…oo…. | Are you the magical lover Lord Krishna? |
| Male | |
| Kanavena karaiyum kaalam | Time melts away like a dream |
| Theeyaai manamengum poothth aaladi | You bloomed like a fire across my heart, girl |
| Dhinamum ennai theendadi | Touch me every single day, girl |
| Female | |
| Oo…kanavena theriyum jenmam | Oh... this life that appears like a dream |

| Nee sellum vazhiyae nizhalaaga varuven pinnae | I will follow behind you as a shadow on the path you walk |
| Male | |
| Ellaa payanaththil sellaa dhooramaai | Across an unreachable distance in every journey |
| Ellaam kaadhalaai nammai maranthena | With everything turning into love, forgetting ourselves |
| Iruvar oruvaraai pinni pinainthu | The two of us intertwined as one |
| Both :Vinmeenai paarpomae | Both: Shall we look at the stars? |

நீல நீல வானம்
தூது போகும் மேகம்
ஒன்று சேர நாமும்
ஏனோ இந்த வேகம்
The deep blue sky
The clouds floating like messengers
For both of us to come together
Why is there this sudden urgency?
உன்னை தாண்டி போக...
கண்கள் ரெண்டும் நோக.....
நீ தேடும் பெண்மை எந்தன் தேகம் வாட
To move past you
Both my eyes ache
While the womanhood you seek causes my body to languish
மஞ்சம் வானிலா
நீயோ தேன் பலா
காதல் கூடுதா....
காமம் ஏறுதா.....
The couch feels like the moon in the sky
And you are like sweet honeyed jackfruit
Is love deepening?
Is desire rising?
தனிமை தேடியே
இதழை தீண்டும்
நீ மாயக் கண்ணனோ...ஓ....
Searching for solitude
Touching the lips
Are you the magical lover Lord Krishna?
கனவென கரையும் காலம்
தீயாய் மனமெங்கும் பூத்து ஆளடி
தினமும் என்னை தீண்டடி.....
Time melts away like a dream
You bloomed like a fire across my heart, girl
Touch me every single day, girl
ஓ....கனவென தெரியும் ஜென்மம்
காமன் அவன் காதல் பானம் நீயடா
அதில் சேதமாவது நானடா...
Oh... this life that appears like a dream
You are the arrow of love from Lord Kamadeva, girl
And I am the one getting destroyed by it, boy
அன்பே எனை விலகி போனால்
நீ சென்ற நொடியே எனை விட்டு போகும் ஜீவனே
நீயே உறவாகி போனால்
நீ செல்லும் வழியே நிழலாக வருவேன் பின்னே
My love, if you step away from me
The very moment you leave, my life will depart from me
If you become my entire world and relationship
I will follow behind you as a shadow on the path you walk
எல்லா பயணத்தில் செல்லா தூரமாய்
எல்லாம் காதலாய் நம்மை மறந்தென
இருவர் ஒருவராய் பின்னி பிணைந்து
இருவர் :
விண்மீனை பார்ப்போமே
Across an unreachable distance in every journey
With everything turning into love, forgetting ourselves
The two of us intertwined as one
Both: Shall we look at the stars?
கனவென கரையும் காலம்
தீயாய் மனமெங்கும் பூத்து ஆளடி
தினமும் என்னை தீண்டடி
Time melts away like a dream
You bloomed like a fire across my heart, girl
Touch me every single day, girl
ஓ....கனவென தெரியும் ஜென்மம்
காமன் அவன் காதல் பானம் நீயடா
அதில் சேதமாவது நானடா...
Oh... this life that appears like a dream
You are the arrow of love from Lord Kamadeva, girl
And I am the one getting destroyed by it, boy
நீயும் பார்க்காமல் போனால்
என் மின்னல் தேகம் தீயில் வெந்தே போகுமே
நீயே உயிராக ஆனால்
நீ நோக்கும் நொடியே என் பருவம் உந்தன் மடியிலே
If you pass by without even looking at me
My lightning-like body will burn away in fire
If you become my very life
The second you glance at me, my youth rests on your lap
மனதின் ஆசையும் வயதின் வேகமும்
என்றும் தீர்ந்திடா காதல் தாகமும்
தினமும் கலந்திட நமக்குள் உறைந்திட
இருவர் :
வாழ்வோமே ஒன்றாக
The heart's desire and the urgency of youth
An unquenchable thirst for love
To blend together daily and slumber within each other
Both: Let us live together as one
கனவென கரையும் காலம்
தீயாய் மனமெங்கும் பூத்து ஆளடி
தினமும் என்னை தீண்டடி
Time melts away like a dream
You bloomed like a fire across my heart, girl
Touch me every single day, girl
ஓ....கனவென தெரியும் ஜென்மம்
காமன் அவன் காதல் பானம் நீயடா
அதில் சேதமாவது நானடா...
Oh... this life that appears like a dream
You are the arrow of love from Lord Kamadeva, girl
And I am the one getting destroyed by it, boy
