Minnunnunde mulla pole,
kurunnu kannile kurumbu kandu njaan
[Sparkling like jasmine,
in your innocent eyes, I see that mischief]
Koode nee illaathe aayaal,
noorayi nurungidum kannaadi aanu njaan
[If you are not with me,
I’m like glass shattered into hundred pieces]

Ponnu uthirum sandhyakalil en ethire nee varave,
anuraagam en ullam kattu eduthille!
[On gold showered twilights, when you come across me,
love stole my heart! ]
Vaakkil, nee mindaathe kaathathum…
nokkil, thookunnu innu thaane
[All that you protected without saying in words…
is spilling out by itself in your gaze today]
Nee en neelaakaasham aakumo?
Njaano meghangal aayi… alayaavathilla
[Will you be my blue sky?
And I like clouds…wander]

Thennunnu enthe, swarna meene?
Kurunnu kannile kurumbu kandu njaan
[Why are you gliding away, gold fish?
In your innocent eyes, I see that mischief]
Koode nee illaathe aayaal,
noorayi nurungidum kannaadi aanu njaan
[If you are not with me,
I’m like glass shattered into hundred pieces]

Manjaliyum raavukalil thottozhiyum vennilavil,
priyamode naam onnayi chernnu urangumbol
[On foggy nights, with moonbeam touching us
when we are lovingly sleeping closely beside each other]
Maaril tharaattaayi oru eenamo,
enne moodum poomputhappayi?
[Is the tune of lullaby in your bosom,
covering me like a comfy blanket?]
Nenjin thaazhvaarangal aakiyum,
neeyam poo choodunnu ee neram
[In the valleys of my chest,
I wear the flower that’s you at this time]

Vaakkil nee mindaathe kaathathum,
nokkil thookunnu innu thaane
[All that you protected without saying in words,
is spilling out by itself in your gaze today]
Nee en neelaakaasham aakumo?
[Will you be my blue sky?]
