| Male | |
| Neeyum inga naanum inga | You are here, I am here |
| Serum vazhi enga | Where is the path where we meet? |
| Padha inga dhooram inga | The path is here, the distance is here |
| Pogum dhisa enga | Where is the direction we are heading? |
| Male | |
| Vilagadha | Do not move away |
| Ennai vittu vilagadha | Do not move away from me |
| Odhungadha | Do not step aside |
| Pakkam vandha odhungadha | Do not step aside when I come close |
| Male | |
| Vilagadha | Do not move away |
| Ennai vittu vilagadha | Do not move away from me |
| Odhungadha | Do not step aside |
| Pakkam vandha odhungadha | Do not step aside when I come close |
| Male | |
| Otha thuli veezhndha kooda | Even if a single drop falls |
| Sutta manal onna serum | The hot sand absorbs and unites with it |
| Nenja thoda kanneer thuli | To touch the heart, a tear drop |
| Innum venuma | Is it needed anymore? |
| Male | |
| Ullukkulla kaadhal oora | As love wells up within |
| Mella mella ellam maara | As everything changes bit by bit |
| Neelum andha vanam vara | Until that sky stretches far |
| Pesi povoma | Shall we walk while talking? |
| Male | |
| Edha thedi alainjaeno | Whatever I wandered searching for |
| Adi unnaiyum tholachitten | Oh dear, I ended up losing you as well |
| Unakkagavae pudhusaaven | I will reinvent myself just for you |
| Uyirae yethukka | Oh my life, accept me |
| Male | |
| Vilagadha | Do not move away |
| Ennai vittu vilagadha | Do not move away from me |
| Odhungadha | Do not step aside |
| Pakkam vandha odhungadha | Do not step aside when I come close |

விலகாத
என்ன விட்டு விலகாத
ஒதுங்காத
பக்கம் வந்தா ஒதுங்காத
You are here, I am here
Where is the path where we meet?
The path is here, the distance is here
Where is the direction we are heading?
நீயும் இங்க நானும் இங்க
சேரும் வழி எங்க
பாத இங்க தூரம் இங்க
போகும் திச எங்க
Do not move away
Do not move away from me
Do not step aside
Do not step aside when I come close
விலகாத
என்ன விட்டு விலகாத
ஒதுங்காத
பக்கம் வந்தா ஒதுங்காத
Do not move away
Do not move away from me
Do not step aside
Do not step aside when I come close
விலகாத
என்ன விட்டு விலகாத
ஒதுங்காத
பக்கம் வந்தா ஒதுங்காத
Even if a single drop falls
The hot sand absorbs and unites with it
To touch the heart, a tear drop
Is it needed anymore?
ஒத்த துளி வீழ்ந்தா கூட
சுட்ட மணல் ஒன்னா சேரும்
நெஞ்ச தொட கண்ணீர் துளி
இன்னும் வேணுமா
As love wells up within
As everything changes bit by bit
Until that sky stretches far
Shall we walk while talking?
உள்ளுக்குள்ள காதல் ஊற
மெல்ல மெல்ல எல்லாம் மாற
நீளும் அந்த வானம் வர
பேசிப் போவோமா
Whatever I wandered searching for
Oh dear, I ended up losing you as well
I will reinvent myself just for you
Oh my life, accept me
எத தேடி அலஞ்சேனோ
அடி உன்னயும் தொலச்சிட்டேன்
உனக்காகவே புதுசாவேன்
உயிரே ஏத்துக்க
Do not move away
Do not move away from me
Do not step aside
Do not step aside when I come close
விலகாத
என்ன விட்டு விலகாத
ஒதுங்காத
பக்கம் வந்தா ஒதுங்காத
Can our eyes not meet?
Do not move away, do not move away
Will all this pain not ease?
Do not step aside, do not step aside
வழி சேர முடியாதா
விலகாத விலகாத
வலியெல்லாம் குறையாதா
ஒதுங்காத ஒதுங்காத
Do not move away, do not move away
விலகாத…
விலகாத…
Neeyum inga naanum inga

Where is the path where we meet?
Padha inga dhooram inga
The path is here, the distance is here
Pogum dhisa enga
Where is the direction we are heading?

Do not move away
Ennai vittu vilagadha
Do not move away from me
Odhungadha
Do not step aside
Pakkam vandha odhungadha
Do not step aside when I come close
Otha thuli veezhndha kooda
Even if a single drop falls
Sutta manal onna serum
The hot sand absorbs and unites with it
Nenja thoda kanneer thuli
To touch the heart, a tear drop
Innum venuma
Is it needed anymore?
Ullukkulla kaadhal oora
As love wells up within
Mella mella ellam maara
As everything changes bit by bit
Neelum andha vanam vara
Until that sky stretches far
