{Verasa pogayilae..puthusa poravalae
Ithu varaiyila kulir edukala pennaala
Ava sirichathum thala oraiyuthu thannaala
En pechu moochu enga kaanaala} (2)
Ithu naana enna..palasu ellam enga
Pudhu sandhegangal undaaguthu
Idhu thindaatama..illa thullaatama
Manna vittu rendu kaal thaavuthu
Eppothum naan pogum paadhai idhu
Ippothu nirkaamal yen neeluthu
En ullam lesaaga kai neeluthu
Verasa pogaiyilae..puthusa poravalae
Nalla kachithama..enna pichu summa
Thachu sekurathu un velaya
Suttu vattarathil thantha pattam ellam
Ippa nool aruntha kaathaadiya
Nethoda nee vera naa veraya
Eppo nee en nenjin mer kooraiya
Ennullae nee paadhi naan meedhiya
Verasa pogayilae..puthusa poravalae
Ithu varaiyila kulir edukala pennaala
Ava sirichathum thala oraiyuthu thannaala
En pechu moochu enga kaanaalaaaaaa..
As I walk swiftly, I feel born anew...
Until now, no girl has ever given me chills,
The moment she smiled, my head froze all on its own,
Where have my words and breath gone? Nowhere to be found.
Is this really me? Where has the old me gone?
Brand new doubts are beginning to rise.
Is this a struggle, or is it pure excitement?
Both my feet are leaping off the ground.
This is the same path I always take,
Why does it stretch on endlessly now?
As my heart grows light, my hands reach out.
As I walk swiftly, I feel born anew...
Tearing me apart so perfectly,
And stitching me back together—is that your work?
All the titles given to me across this town,
Have they now become like kites with snapped strings?
Were you and I separate only until yesterday?
When did you become the roof over my heart?
Inside me, are you one half and am I the rest?
As I walk swiftly, I feel born anew...
Until now, no girl has ever given me chills,
The moment she smiled, my head froze all on its own,
Where have my words and breath gone? Nowhere to be found...
