Kannil Kan MothinaalWhen our eyes collide,
Latcham Minnal Poo PookumA million lightning flowers bloom.
Nenchil Oor VaanavilA rainbow appears in my heart,
Etti Etti Thaan PaarkumAnd it keeps peeking out.
Ullae TheeramaleEndlessly inside me,
Kaigal Korkkum Naal KetkumMy soul asks for the day our hands will interlace.
Meesayinil Un VaasamYour scent lingers on my mustache,
Ennai TholaithenaeAnd I’ve completely lost myself.
Puthire En PuthireOh puzzle, my mysterious puzzle,
Puriyamal Uyiraai AanayeWithout my understanding, you’ve become my life.
Kathire Ven KathireOh ray of light, pure white beam,
Adhikalai Iravil ThanthayeYou brought the dawn right into my night.
Thotillayum Aatti VittuDon’t rock the cradle for comfort,
Killi Vitti SellatheOnly to pinch me and leave.
Theendum Viral Thoondum PothuWhen your touching fingers provoke my feelings,
Thalli Ennai KollatheDon’t push me away and kill me.
Naruvee Naruvee IzhuthaleeOh fragrant bloom, when you pull me close,
Idhayam Uruvi OdidutheMy heart melts and flows away.
Aruvi Aruvi KuzhaloduWith your hair flowing like a waterfall,
Manathum Padagaai AadidutheMy mind sways like a boat.
Midhamai MidhamaiGently, so gently,
Uyirum Adhirum Keladi NeeMy soul vibrates, just listen, girl.
Idhamai IdhamaiSoothingly, pleasantly,
Valigal PularumEven the pain begins to brighten.
Markazhi PooThe winter flower,
Ennullae PoothathaenoWhy has it bloomed inside me?
Thedinenae BathilindriI searched without finding an answer,
Nanum TholainthathenoSo why have I gotten lost too?
Kaatrilae Edho VaasamThere’s a scent in the breeze,
Un Dhisai PaarkirenAnd I look in your direction.
Vaarthaigal EdhumindriWithout a single word,
ThorkirenaeI’m surrendering to you.
Naan Elai Ena UdhiraAs I fall like a leaf,
Nee Karaiyinil PadharaYou panic on the shore,
Neer Thuligalum SidharaAnd as water droplets scatter,
Thoorangal VendameWe don’t need these distances.
Poo Idayinil PadhamaiSoftly on your flower-like waist,
Nan Viralgalal EzhuthidavaShall I write with my fingers?
Yen Idaiveli AzhageWhy this gap, my beauty?
Vaaliba Theeyinai SerthanaippomLet’s join together and quench this fire of youth.
Naruvee Naruvee IzhuthaleeOh fragrant bloom, when you pull me close,
Idhayam Uruvi OdidutheMy heart melts and flows away.
Aruvi Aruvi KuzhaloduWith your hair flowing like a waterfall,
Manathum Padagaai AadidutheMy mind sways like a boat.
Midhamai MidhamaiGently, so gently,
Uyirum Adhirum Keladi NeeMy soul vibrates, just listen, girl.
Idhamai IdhamaiSoothingly, pleasantly,
Valigal PularumEven the pain begins to brighten.
Puthire En PuthireOh puzzle, my mysterious puzzle,
Puriyamal Uyiraai AanayeWithout my understanding, you’ve become my life.
Kathire Ven KathireOh ray of light, pure white beam,
Adhikalai Iravil ThanthayeYou brought the dawn right into my night.
Puthire En PuthireOh puzzle, my mysterious puzzle,
Puriyamal Uyiraai AanayeWithout my understanding, you’ve become my life.
Kathire Ven KathireOh ray of light, pure white beam,
Adhikalai Iravil ThanthayeYou brought the dawn right into my night.
