Ee kaattu vannu kaathil paranju
Nee ennum ennum entethu maathram
[This breeze whispered in my ears
You are mine forever]
Urukum en nishwaasam aayi, uyirine pulkeedumo?
En mounangal thedum sangeethame…
[As my hot melting breath, will you embrace my life?
Hey you, the song my silences search for…]

Chenchundu thudicho, cheruvaal kiliye?
Nenjonnu pidachcho? Parayoo pathiye
[Did your red beak throb, short tailed bird?
Did your heart skip a beat? Tell me softly]
Manjaadi kombathaare inakiliye,..
Kinnaaram cholli cholli aduthathalle?
[On the manjadi tree’s branch who, my darling…
came near you crooning sweet nothings?]

Chen chundu thudicho, cheruvaal kiliye?
Nenjonnu pidachcho? Parayoo pathiye
[Did your red beak throb, short tailed bird?
Did your heart skip a beat? Tell me softly]
Manjaadi kombathaare inakiliye,..
Kinnaaram cholli cholli aduthathalle?
[On the manjadi tree’s branch who, my darling…
came near you crooning sweet nothings?]

Mizhivaathil chaarum naanam, pathiye njaan thazhukave
Ini neeyundu ennum koode, nilavekaan thinkale..
[Your eyes close in shyness, when I caress you softly
You are with me always, to give light my moon]
Oru cheru novum chiriyaakki, en paathi meyyaai
Oro raavum pakalaakki, naerin mohaveyilaai…
[Every little wound you make it a smile, as my body’s half
Each night turned into day, as a truthful sunny wish…]
…ivanilaayi cherunnu nee, murivezhaa kairekha pol
Kannchimmathe kaakkam en omale
[…you melt in him, like a line on his palm
I will protect you without blinking my eyes]
Ee neelamizhi aazhangalil njaan
Oo veenu alinju pokunnu thaane
[In the depth of your blue eyes
I’m falling and dispersing myself]

Urukum en nishwaasam aayi, uyirine pulkeedumo?
En mounangal thedum sangeethame…
[As my hot melting breath, will you embrace my life?
Hey you, the song my silences search for…]

Chen chundu thudicho, cheruvaal kiliye?
Nenjonnu pidachcho? Parayoo pathiye
[Did your red beak throb, short tailed bird?
Did your heart skip a beat? Tell me softly]
Manjaadi kombathaare inakiliye,..
Kinnaaram cholli cholli aduthathalle?
[On the manjadi tree’s branch who, my darling…
came near you crooning sweet nothings?]

Chen chundu thudicho, cheruvaal kiliye?
Nenjonnu pidachcho? Parayoo pathiye
[Did your red beak throb, short tailed bird?
Did your heart skip a beat? Tell me softly]
Manjaadi kombathaare inakiliye,..
Kinnaaram cholli cholli aduthathalle?
[On the manjadi tree’s branch who, my darling…
came near you crooning sweet nothings?]
