Manathil Oru Pattu Adhai MarakkamudiyumaA song in my heart, can I ever forget it?
Manathil Oru Pattu Adhai MarakkamudiyumaA song in my heart, can I ever forget it?
Vizhiyil Vazhiyum Aruvi NeerumThis waterfall of tears flowing from my eyes,
Kavalai Theerkkuma Iru Uyirai SerkkumaWill it wash away my worries, or bring two souls together?
Manathil Oru Pattu Adhai MarakkamudiyumaA song in my heart, can I ever forget it?
Nadhiyum MuzhumadhiyumThe river and the full moon,
En Ninaivil ThondrutheThey just appear in my thoughts.
Ilamanathinil Varum KanavugalThe dreams that rise in a young heart,
Enai VattidutheAre now just tormenting me.
Adada Idhuthan Oru Kaadhal DheepamaOh, is this the flame of love?
Dhinamum Thodarum Oru Deva SabamaOr a divine curse that follows me every day?
Manathil Oru Pattu Adhai MarakkamudiyumaA song in my heart, can I ever forget it?
Nizhala Idhu NijamaIs this a shadow or is it real?
Nan Ninaiththu ParkkirenI’m left here trying to understand.
Oli Piranthathum Irul MarainthidumWhen the light is born, the darkness will fade,
Idhuthan MuraiyeThat’s just the way things are.
Uyire Unarave Idhu Kadhal RajiyamMy soul, you must realize, this is the kingdom of love,
Payanam Thodarum Idhu Vedha VakkiyamOur journey will go on, that’s a sacred truth.
Manathil Oru Pattu Adhai MarakkamudiyumaA song in my heart, can I ever forget it?
Manathil Oru Pattu Adhai MarakkamudiyumaA song in my heart, can I ever forget it?
Vizhiyil Vazhiyum Aruvi NeerumThis waterfall of tears flowing from my eyes,
Kavalai Theerkkuma Iru Uyirai SerkkumaWill it wash away my worries, or bring two souls together?
Manathil Oru Pattu Adhai MarakkamudiyumaA song in my heart, can I ever forget it?
