Thattiputta Thattiputta Idhaya KadhavaYou’ve knocked and knocked on the door of my heart.
Kattiputta Kattiputta Irandu UsuraYou’ve tied and bound our two souls together.
Edhuvo Irukkudhu EnnullaSomething’s stirring deep within me.
Thaviya Thavikkudhu ManasaMy heart’s yearning and struggling.
Manasil Olinjathu MethuvagaWhat was hidden in my heart so gently,
Veliyil Varugudhu Athuvait’s now emerging on its own.
Sogamana IdhamanaIs it sorrowful, or is it pleasant?
Kadhal Dhan IdhuvaIs this really what love is?
Thattiputta Thattiputta Idhaya KadhavaYou’ve knocked and knocked on the door of my heart.
