Kadalinil meenaaga irundhaval naan

[I was a fish in the ocean and

I crossed the shores for you

I struggled in the land

and returned back to my ocean]

Oru naal sirithen,

maru naal veruthen

unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithene

[One day i smiled at you,

and the next day i hated you

I buried you without killing you.

Will you forgive me. Will you forgive me]

Kanne thadumaari nadandhen

noolil aadum mazhai aagi ponen

[I struggled to walk

I swayed like a rain drop on the thread

I became an artist because of you]

Male:

Tholai dhoorathu velicham nee

unai nokiye enai eerkiraaye

melum melum urugi urugi

unai enni engum idhaiyathai enna seiven

Oh unai enni engum idhaiyathai enna seiven

[You are the light at a distance..

You draw me towards you

What do i do to the heart that

melts at the thought of you]

Female:

Odum neeril or alai dhaan naan

ulle ulla eeram nee dhaan

varam kidaithum naan thavara vitten

mannipaaya anbe

[I'm a wave in the running water (and)

You are the wetness within me

I got a wish and i let it slip

will you forgive me love?]

kaatrile aadum kaagidham naan

nee dhaan ennai kadidham aakinaai

anbil thodangi anbil mudikkiren

En Kalangarai Vilakkame

[I was a paper that floated in the air

and you made me into a letter

I begin and end with love

You are the beacon of my life]

Female:

Oru naaL sirithen,

maru naal veruthen

unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithene

mannipaaya mannipaaya...

[One day i smiled at you,

and the next day i hated you

I buried you without killing you.

Will you forgive me. Will you forgive me]

Thirukural:

Anbirkum undo adaikkumthaazh aarvalar

punkaNeer poosal tharum

[Affection cannot be confined by shutters;

Uncontrollable tears will roll down spontaneously when one sees the sufferings of loved ones]

Marappin Evanaan Markol Marappariyen

Ullinum Ullam Sudum

anbilaar ellaam thamakkuriyar anbudaiyaar

enbum uriyar pirarku

[One who doesn't love is possessive about everything;

One who loves would even be willing to part their bones]

Pulambal ena sendren pullinen nenjam

Kalathan Uruvadhu kandu

Female:

Yen en vaazhvil vandhaai kanna nee

povaayo kaanal neer pole thondri

anaivarum urangidum iravenum neram

enakkadhu thalaiyanai nanaithidum eeram

[Why did you come into my life my dear

Will you vanish like a mirage

The Night time when everyone sleeps

is the time for me to fill my pillows with tears]

Female:

Oru naaL sirithen,

maru naal veruthen

unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithene

mannipaaya mannipaaya...

[One day i smiled at you,

and the next day i hated you

I buried you without killing you.

Will you forgive me. Will you forgive me]

unnaal dhaan kalaignanaai aanene

I swayed like a rain drop on the thread

I became an artist because of you]
