Naduvinil Thooram Adhigamillaithere isn’t much distance between them at all.
Iru Manam Oru Gunam Iruvarum NanbargalTwo hearts and one nature, both are friends.
Adhuthaan Anbin EllaaiThat’s the very boundary of love.
Imai Thotta Manivizhi IrandukkumBetween the two eyes that the eyelids touch,
Naduvinil Thooram Adhigamillaithere isn’t much distance between them at all.
