Anjunaattu Kalla Ey Aasa KallaOh, you thief from a foreign land, you thief of my desires,
Nenjukulle Neethan Pootha VaanavillaYou’re the rainbow that bloomed inside my heart.
Ohh Mele Naa Loosea Aane LessaOh, I’m slowly starting to lose myself,
Naathane Ohh Roseaa Ey Kaattu RaasaMy love, oh my rose, my wild rose.
Chellakavil Naanam Konde Munnil Nee Vanna NinnaWith shy cheeks, you came and stood before me,
Chunkidippu Koodaninthe Kannilaayi Ninne KandaMy heartbeat quickens the moment I see you.
Chanthana Chaayam Minnum Nin Maarathaayi ChaayuvaanI long to lean against your chest, shimmering like sandalwood paste,
Chanthame Chantham Konde Konji Konji PesuvaanOh beautiful one, speaking sweet nothings with such charm.
Ohh Mele Naa Loose Aanene LessaOh, I’m slowly starting to lose myself,
Naathane Ohh Roseaa Ey Kaattu RaasaMy love, oh my rose, my wild rose.
Anjunaattu Kalla Ey Aasa KalalOh, you thief from a foreign land, you thief of my desires,
Nenjukulle Neethan Pootha VaanavillaYou’re the rainbow that bloomed inside my heart.
Thaazhvara Kaattadikkum Marathanalil NaamIn the shade of a tree, as the valley’s breeze blows,
Oorayiram Raavuragaan Vilikkugille NeeWon’t you call out a thousand night-melodies with me?
Lokhame Angamellam Orugi VannalumEven if the entire world unites against us,
Ninnaanudal Pinnalenne Marakkukille NeeYou won’t forget my embrace, will you?
Ohh Ambili Kudapidikkum Kodathiyuvum RaavilOh, on a cool night with the moon holding its umbrella,
Kaynil Choodinaayi Nin Pidayunnu ChelilI yearn to hold you in my hands, trembling with beauty.
Punnakayi Azhaka Nee Kovapadum Vaakkum Ennisay Mazha Pole Kulirunne KaathilYour beautiful smile and your angry words both cool my ears like a musical rain,
Mettuthala Thaazhathe Nee Mutham Varum Maarathe NeeYou’ll bring your lips down for a kiss that never changes,
Thunakkayi Kay Pidikkanaayi Pakkam Vaannal Oppam NinnalIf you come close and stand by my side, holding my hand as my partner,
Ennum Njan Sontham Nin Sotham MaaraI’ll forever be your own, your only possession.
Naathane Ohh Roseaa Ey Kaattu RaasaMy love, oh my rose, my wild rose.
Anjunaattu Kalla Ey Aasa KallaOh, you thief from a foreign land, you thief of my desires,
Nenjukulle Neethan Pootha VaanavillaYou’re the rainbow that bloomed inside my heart.
Ohh Mele Naa Loose Aanene LessaOh, I’m slowly starting to lose myself,
Naathane Ohh Roseaa Ey Kaattu RaasaMy love, oh my rose, my wild rose.
Ohh Mele Naa Loose Aanene LessaOh, I’m slowly starting to lose myself,
Naathane Ohh Roseaa Ey Kaattu RaasaMy love, oh my rose, my wild rose.
