| Male | |
| Kannilae kanneerilae | With tears in my eyes, |
| Pirinthae naan pogindren | I am parting and leaving. |
| Vinnilae ven megamaai kalainthae | Dispersing like white clouds in the sky, |
| Naan mella mella karainthen | I slowly, slowly dissolved away. |
| Male | |
| Azhugai ennum aruviyil | Into the waterfall known as weeping, |
| Dhinam dhinam naanum vilunthenae | I kept falling day after day. |
| Nilavae un nizhalinai | Oh moon, your shadow, |
| Thodarnthida naanum vizhainthenae | I longed to follow. |
| Male | |
| Yen ennai pirinthaai | Why did you separate from me, |
| Uyirae… uyirae.. | My soul... my life.. |
| Kaadhalai eriththaai en azhagae | You burned our love, my beauty, |
| Male | |
| Yen ennai pirinthaai | Why did you separate from me, |
| Uyirae… uyirae.. | My soul... my life.. |

கண்ணிலே கண்ணீரிலே
பிரிந்தே நான் போகின்றேன்
விண்ணிலே வெண் மேகமாய் கலைந்தே
நான் மெல்ல மெல்ல கரைந்தேன்
With tears in my eyes,
I am parting and leaving.
Dispersing like white clouds in the sky,
I slowly, slowly dissolved away.
அழுகை என்னும் அருவியில்
தினம் தினம் நானும் விழுந்தேனே
நிலவே உன் நிழலினை
தொடர்ந்திட நானும் விளைந்தேனே
Into the waterfall known as weeping,
I kept falling day after day.
Oh moon, your shadow,
I longed to follow.
ஏன் என்னை பிரிந்தாய்
உயிரே......உயிரே.....
காதலை எரித்தாய் என் அழகே
Why did you separate from me,
My soul... my life..
You burned our love, my beauty,
ஏன் என்னை பிரிந்தாய்
உயிரே......உயிரே.....
கண்ணீரில் உறைந்தாய் கனவே.....
Why did you separate from me,
My soul... my life..
You froze inside my tears, my dream..
ஏன் என்னை பிரிந்தாய்
உயிரே......உயிரே.....
காதலை எரித்தாய் என் அழகே
Why did you separate from me,
My soul... my life..
You burned our love, my beauty,
ஏன் என்னை பிரிந்தாய்
உயிரே......உயிரே.....
கண்ணீரில் உறைந்தாய் கனவே.....
Why did you separate from me,
My soul... my life..
You froze inside my tears, my dream..
Kannilae kanneerilae
With tears in my eyes,
Pirinthae naan pogindren
I am parting and leaving.
Vinnilae ven megamaai kalainthae
Dispersing like white clouds in the sky,
Naan mella mella karainthen
I slowly, slowly dissolved away.
Azhugai ennum aruviyil
Into the waterfall known as weeping,
Dhinam dhinam naanum vilunthenae
I kept falling day after day.
Nilavae un nizhalinai
Oh moon, your shadow,
Thodarnthida naanum vizhainthenae
I longed to follow.
Yen ennai pirinthaai
Why did you separate from me,
Uyirae… uyirae..
My soul... my life..
Kaadhalai eriththaai en azhagae
You burned our love, my beauty,
Yen ennai pirinthaai
Why did you separate from me,
Uyirae… uyirae..
My soul... my life..
Kanneeril uraindhaai kanavae..
You froze inside my tears, my dream..
Yen ennai pirinthaai
Why did you separate from me,
Uyirae… uyirae..
My soul... my life..
Kaadhalai eriththaai en azhagae
You burned our love, my beauty,
Yen ennai pirinthaai
Why did you separate from me,
Uyirae… uyirae..
My soul... my life..
Kanneeril uraindhaai kanavae..
