Pulavar Sonnathum Poiyae PoiyaeWhat the poets preached is a lie, all lies
Poovaiyar Jaadaiyum Poiyae PoiyaeSignals from flower-like girls are lies, all lies
Kalaigal Sonnathum Poiyae PoiyaeWhat the arts declared is a lie, all lies
Kadhal Ondruthaan Meiyae MeiyaeLove alone is the truth, the only truth
Azhagu Enbathum Meiyae MeiyaeBeauty is the truth, the real truth
OhoOho
Aasai Enbathum Meiyae MeiyaeDesire is the truth, the real truth
Pazhagum Nokkamum Meiyae MeiyaeThe urge to bond is the truth, the real truth
Ungal Pashai Ondruthaan Poiyae PoiyaeOnly your words are lies, nothing but lies
Pulavar Sonnathum Poiyae PoiyaeWhat the poets preached is a lie, all lies
Neela Kangal Thaamarai PolWhen do dark eyes turn red
SivvappatheppathuJust like a lotus in bloom?
Ninaivillaamal MaarbinilaeWhen memories fade fast
MayangumpothuAs I swoon upon your chest
Vaarththai Jaalam PechilaeWhen does magic weave its way
VaruvatheppothuInto our spoken words?
Mangaiyin MadiyilaeWhen I roll playfully
PuralumpothuIn a maiden’s lap
Aayiram Poi Sonnaal KaariyamaagumThey say a thousand lies make a marriage happen
Antha Naalil Adhuthaanae KaaviyamaagumBack then, that saying became an epic tale
Azhagu Enbathum Meiyae MeiyaeBeauty is the truth, the real truth
AahaAaha
Aasai Enbathum Meiyae MeiyaeDesire is the truth, the real truth
Pazhagum Nokkamum Meiyae MeiyaeThe urge to bond is the truth, the real truth
Ungal Pashai Ondruthaan Poiyae PoiyaeOnly your words are lies, nothing but lies
Pulavar Sonnathum Poiyae PoiyaeWhat the poets preached is a lie, all lies
Ennathaan PennidaththilWhat is this endless bliss
Iththanai InbamFound in a woman’s presence?
Inguthaan Thondriyathu Muthamizh SangamRight here the great Tamil Sangam came to be
Ponnilae ThoitheduththaDipped and bathed in gold
Poovaiyar AngamIs a maiden’s stunning form
Bodhaiyil Aada VaikkumDriving the senses wild
Aadavar AngamIs a man’s touch and form
Thaen Nilavu KaanbatharkkuTo catch a glimpse of the honey moon
Theduthu NenjamMy heart is on the hunt
Vaan Nilavum KeezhirunthuThe sky’s moon descends below
Vaaduthu ManjamWhile the bed waits pining
Pulavar Sonnathum Poiyae PoiyaeWhat the poets preached is a lie, all lies
Poovaiyar Jaadaiyum Poiyae PoiyaeSignals from flower-like girls are lies, all lies
Kalaigal Sonnathum Poiyae PoiyaeWhat the arts declared is a lie, all lies
Kadhal Ondruthaan Meiyae MeiyaeLove alone is the truth, the only truth
Pulavar Sonnathum Poiyae PoiyaeWhat the poets preached is a lie, all lies
