1. Yen vedanayil , un kannirandum  ,

Yennodu azhuvathu yen Kanna,

Ulagam mari mari pogum pothu  ,

Mayakkamen Kanna?

1.Why is it that both your eyes ,

Shed tears in my pain-Sweetheart,

When the world changes and changes ,

Why this confusion, Sweetheart

2.Oruvre  veru parvai parkkum pothu,

Azhuvathen Kanna?, Nethru vandhen,

Indru vandhen –unnidam,

Naalai naan varuven,

2.When  the same person   looks at you,

Differently, why are you crying , Sweetheart

I  came yesterday , and I came today to you,

And tomorrow  also I would come

3.Ore naalil   ingum angum un mukham ,

Kana naan varuven ,Un pathayile,

Un paarvayilre-yen meni valam varum Kanna,

3.In one day  to see your face  , here ,

And there  I would come ,

In your path,  in your looks,

My body would go round you, Sweetheart

4,Thunba mazhayil   ninra pothu   kangalil,

Unnai naan kanden,

Athe vazhiyil   athe mazhayil,

Yen vazhvai  kana naan chelgindren,

4.When I was standing in the rain of sorrow,

I saw  you,

In the same path  , in the same rain,

I am going to see  my life.

5, Kala devan vasal vazhiye  pogiren,

Indru naan yaaro?

Pogum vazhiyil  anbu ,

Mugathai  paarkkiren ,

Nalai naan yaaro?

5.I am going  on the way to the gate of God of death.

Who am I today?

Onm the way that  I go, I ,

See your loving  face  ,

Tomorrow I am some one else.

6.Un maligayil  yen ninai virundhaal  ,

Yen nenjai mannippaai Kanna .

6,If my memory is there in your mansion,

Please pardon my heart, Sweetheart.
