Kanne Uyirin Kanneer ManiyeMy darling, the precious tear from my soul,
Kayyethum Doore NjaanilleAren’t I right here, just an arm’s length away?
Ninne Vetiyan VayyathakameThe sorrow that haunts you from deep inside,
Chentheeyaay Maaridum ThaapamIs blazing up now like a scorching fire.
Urangaan Paattaay Thalodaan KaattaayI’ll become a song to lull you to sleep, a breeze to gently soothe you.
Midipaayi Shwaasamaayi NjaanI’ll be your heartbeat and your very breath.
Niraye IrulaanenneravumWhen your world is completely filled with darkness,
Thiriyaay Nizhalaayi NjaanumI’ll be your flame and your shadow, too.
Aa Aa(Vocalization)
Urukumen Ulayile Souvarnamaanu NeeYou are the pure gold from my melting furnace.
Thanalu Nin Vazhikalil Njaan Kontu RaaveyilI’ll bring shade to your paths in the scorching sun.
Kinaavin Manam Maranne IvalShe has forgotten the fragrance of her own dreams,
Churanne Manam Kedaathe NinnilPouring her unfading spirit into you.
Nerukayil Pakarumee VaalsalyamaariyaayLike a shower of affection anointing your forehead,
Porulilum Irulilum Neeyente MaathrameIn light and in darkness, you are mine alone.
Cheraathin Thiri Kedaathe IvalShe keeps the lamp’s wick from ever going out,
Tharunne Thuna Kilunne NinnilGiving you support so that you can blossom.
Kanne Uyirin Kanneer ManiyeMy darling, the precious tear from my soul,
Kayyethum Doore NjaanilleAren’t I right here, just an arm’s length away?
Urangaan Paattaay Thalodaan KaattaayI’ll become a song to lull you to sleep, a breeze to gently soothe you.
Midipaayi Shwaasamaayi NjaanI’ll be your heartbeat and your very breath.
Niraye IrulaanenneravumWhen your world is completely filled with darkness,
Thiriyaay Nizhalaayi NjaanumI’ll be your flame and your shadow, too.
