Kannil kannil nokkum neram,
ullil thingi nirayunnathentho? Ithentho?
[When we look into each other’s eyes,
what is this that swells inside?…What is this?]
Ennum munnil kaanumbozhen,
ullam thulli thulumbunnathu entho..? Ithentho…?
[When I see you everyday,
what is this that overflows in my heart?… What is this?]
Njan alanja vazhi arikukal, poovaal moodi
Njan maranna priya varikalil, thaen thooki nee
[Those sidewalks I wandered on, you spread flowers on those
Those endearing lines I couldn’t remember, you drizzled honey on them]
Kannil kannil nokkum neram,
ullil thingi nirayunnathentho? Ithentho?
[When we look into each other’s eyes,
what is this that swells inside?…What is this?]
Ennum munnil kaanumbozhen,
ullam thulli thulumbunnathu entho..? Ithentho…?
[When I see you everyday,
what is this that overflows in my heart?… What is this?]
Aerum anuraagam, manassil swayam
nooru mazhavillai theliyunnuvo?
[This increasing fondness in my mind,
is it casting hundreds of rainbows?]
Innu orkkuvan athonnu mathram aethu neravum
Innu aekuvaan athonnu mathram ennil aakave
[Today it is the only thing I think about
Today it (the affection) is the only thing I can give you]
Kannil kannil nokkum neram,
ullil thingi nirayunnathentho? Ithentho?
[When we look into each other’s eyes,
what is this that swells inside?…What is this?]
Ennum munnil kaanumbozhen,
ullam thulli thulumbunnathu entho..? Ithentho…?
[When I see you everyday,
what is this that overflows in my heart?… What is this?]
Doore himashailam uruki, itha..
njan ozhukum etho panineer nadi..
[Far away a glacier mountain is melting now
and I’m drifting in some fragrant river]
Vimookamaayore kadal thiranjidunnu njan,
vilola mohamayi kuthirnnu chaanju chaayuvan
[I’m searching for a noisy ocean,
to soak as a wish and sway in it]
Kannil kannil nokkum neram,
mmmm mmmmm mmm ithentho?
[When we look into each other’s eyes,
What is this?]
Njan alanja vazhi arikukal, poovaal moodi
Njan maranna priya varikalil, thaen thooki nee
[Those sidewalks I wandered on, you spread flowers on those
Those endearing lines I couldn’t remember, you drizzled honey on them]
Naanannaana naanannaana…
Naanannaana naanannaana naana… Ithentho..?
[What is this?]
Ennum munnil kaanumbozhen,
ullam thulli thulumbunnathu entho..? Ithentho…?
[When I see you everyday,
what is this that overflows in my heart?… What is this?]
