Enthaavo?… Ithenthaavo?
[What is this?… What is this?]

Nenjil soochi konda poley… enthaavo?
Pinnem thaen kininja poley… enthaavo?
[This feeling of my heart being pricked by a needle… what is this?
Like honey’s been oozing out again… what is this?]
Kaanaatha lokathu chenna poley
Kai vittu thaazhathu veena poley
[It feels like I reached a place where I have never been before
And as if I opened my hand and fell down from above]
Kaanaatha lokathu chenna poley
Kai vittu thaazhathu veena poley
[It feels like I reached a place where I have never been before
And as if I opened my hand and fell down from above]
Ithenthaavo? Ho…
[What is this?…]

Ithenthaavo?
[What is this?]
Nenjil soochi konda poley… enthaavo?
[This feeling of my heart being pricked by a needle… what is this?]

Kannadiyodu ishtam koodiyathu enthaavo?
Kannu aareyo thaedi paaranathu enthaavo?
[Why am I liking mirrors a lot now-a-days?
Why are my eyes always searching for someone?]
Orkaathe njaan choolam kuthanath enthaavo?
Orkkumbozhen ullil aanthal ithu enthaavo?
[Why am I suddenly whistling a tune without thinking?
What is this panic I get in my mind when I start thinking?]
Maariyo?, maariyo?, ariyaathe njaan mariyo?
Vinnilo? njaan mannilo?, ithu nero? thonnalo?
[Did I change? Did I change? Did I change without knowing?
In the sky Or am I on the ground?, Is this real or a feeling?]
Ithenthaavo? Ho… 
[What is this?… ]

Ithenthaavo?
[What is this?]
Nenjil soochi konda poley… enthaavo?
Pinnem thaen kininja poley… enthaavo?
[This feeling of my heart being pricked by a needle… what is this?
Like honey’s been oozing out again… what is this?]
Kaanaatha lokathu chenna poley
Kai vittu thaazhathu veena poley
[It feels like I reached a place where I have never been before
And as if I opened my hand and fell down from above]
Ithenthaavo? Ho… 
[What is this?… ]

Enthaavo?
[What is this?]
