Neram Maalai NeramTime, it’s the evening time.
Nenjam Mayangum NenjamMy heart, it’s a heart that’s spellbound.
Athaan Athaan Athaan HummDarling, darling, darling, humm.
Athaan Endren Muthu MuthaagaI called you ‘darling’ like a string of pearls.
Athaan Endren Muthu MuthaagaI called you ‘darling’ like a string of pearls.
Alli Kondaai Kattu KattagaYou gathered me up in heaps and bundles.
Ammmanum Pen MaanumLike a stag and a doe,
Ondrodu OndraanomWe became one with each other.
Neela PattodumWith your blue silk sari,
Nettri PottodumAnd the ‘bindi’ on your forehead,
Paruvam Kondaadum Paadhi KannoramYouth celebrates in the corners of your eyes.
