{ Yen aala paaka poren paathu seidhi pesaporen } (2)

Avan kannukulla enna vaika poren

Avan nenjukulla enna thaika poren

Nanae ..ae enna tharaporen

Veeta vittu vandhutenu solla poren

Kootikitu poiyidunu solla poren

Idhathaan edhirpaarthu

Naan kidandhen uyir verthu

Ena solli aasaiyil allaaduvaan

Manam thulli kaadhalil thallaaduvaan

Adhanaa …aa paathe azhaporen

Yen aala paaka poren paathu seidhi pesaporen

…………………………………….

Unnaalathaan thoongalanu sollaporen

Soru thanni seralanu sollaporen

Pudhusaa pulugaama

Romba perusaa valiyaama

Adi eppa nee enaku ponjaadhiyaa

Aagapoguranu appaviyaa

Nanae … ae kettu varaporen

Oh yen aala paaka poren paathu seidhi pesaporen

Avan kannukulla enna vaika poren

Avan nenjukulla enna thaika poren

Nanae ..ae enna tharaporen

…………………………..

I am going to see my man, going to look at him and speak my mind.

I am going to place myself inside his eyes.

I am going to stitch myself inside his heart.

I myself... oh, am going to surrender myself to him.

I am going to tell him that I have left my home and come for him.

I am going to tell him to take me away with him.

"Anticipating this very moment,

I lay here with my soul breaking into a sweat,"

Saying so, he will toss and turn in desire!

His heart leaping, he will stagger in love!

That is why... oh, I am going to look at him and weep.

I am going to see my man, going to look at him and speak my mind.

[Music / Vocalization]

I am going to tell him that I could not sleep because of him.

I am going to tell him that food and water wouldn't go down my throat.

Without making up fresh lies,

Without exaggerating the pain too much,

"Hey, when are you going to become my wife?"

Like an innocent soul, he will ask when it is going to happen!

I myself... oh, am going to go and ask him!

Oh, I am going to see my man, going to look at him and speak my mind.

I am going to place myself inside his eyes.

I am going to stitch myself inside his heart.

I myself... oh, am going to surrender myself to him.
