leaving me lost and bewildered.
Dhinam Dhinamum Un Ninaippu
Every day, your memories overwhelm me,
Valaigiradhe Enna Tholaikkiradhe
leaving me lost and bewildered.
Kanam Kanamum Ennai Izhuthu
Every moment, you pull me closer,
Paduthura Paadu Porukkalaiye

Dhinam Dhinamum Un Ninaippu
Every day, your memories overwhelm me,
Valaigiradhe Enna Tholaikkiradhe
leaving me lost and bewildered.
Moatha Moathalaa Paarvai Patta Nerathilae
When our eyes first met,
Vidham Vidhamai Enna Kuyil Kooviyathe
a thousand thoughts fluttered like a cuckoo’s song.
Kavanam Illai Etho Enna Thiruppiyathe
My focus wavered, something shifted within me,
Engirundho Kaettathellam Isaiyaache
and every sound became a melody.
Oru Valaikkulle Manam Vizhundhadhuvae
My heart fell into a trap,
Andha Soozhalilirundhu Veliyai Varavillaiyae
and I couldn’t escape the whirlpool of emotions.
En Paatta Thaan Adi Nee Paadura
You sing only my song,
En Vaarthai Enakkaagura
protecting my words for me.
Ottikkitta Chittu Rendhu
Like two little birds clinging together,
Onnai Sutri Onnu Vara
one circles while the other comes closer,
Muthu Mazhai Vaanam Kottum Idhamaaga
as pearl-like rain gently pours from the sky.
Dhinam Dhinamum Un Ninaippu
Every day, your memories overwhelm me,
Valaigiradhu Enna Tholaigiradhu
leaving me lost and bewildered.
Dhinam Dhinamum Un Ninaippu
Every day, your memories…
Kaathiruppen Nee Nadakkum Vazhi Paarthu
I wait, watching the path you walk,
Kaatru Asainthaa Kuthikkum Manam Adangaadhu
my restless heart leaps with every gust of wind.
Vaasalilae Kolamel Poo Poala
Like flowers on a kolam at the doorstep,
Unnai Paarthaa Thavippu Adangum Paduthaadhu
seeing you calms my longing and brings me peace.
Naan Thanichirukken Ullam Thavichirukken
I’m alone, my heart is filled with anguish,
Un Kulir Mugathaal Adha Thaduthirukken
but your serene face soothes it.
Namakkaaga Thaan Bhoomi Urundodudhaa
Is the earth spinning just for us?
Pakalodu Iravaagudhaa
Is day turning into night?
Natchaththiram Kan Simitta
As the stars twinkle,
Kitta Vandhu Kattikkondu
come closer and embrace me,
Tholil Thalai Saaykka Vaendum Idhamaaga
let me rest my head on your shoulder peacefully.
Dhinam Dhinamum Un Ninaippu
Every day, your memories overwhelm me,
Valaigiradhe Enna Tholaikkiradhe
leaving me lost and bewildered.
Kanam Kanamum Ennai Izhuthu
Every moment, you pull me closer,
Paduthura Paadu Porukkalaiye
and the enduring pain is unbearable.
Veliyai Varavum Vazhi Illa
There’s no escape,
Ullukkulla Thudippum Kanak Illa
my heart beats erratically within.
Veliyai Varavum Vazhi Illa
There’s no escape,
Ullukkulla Thudippum Kanak Illa
my heart beats erratically within.
Dhinam Dhinamum
Every day…
