உன் முகம் காண பொழுதில் என்னைக் காணேன் நேசம் கொண்டேன், உன்னைப் பிரிந்தால் நான் (Instrumental)
நீயும் என் நெஞ்சில், விழியும் என் கண்ணில் நான் வாழ்வின் வழியில், வந்தேனே உன் பொன்னில் (Instrumental)
நீ பேசாத போது, நான் எங்கே போவேன் வேரே என் பாதையில், உன் நிழல் தேடவே (Instrumental)
நீ எனக்கே உரிய உன் காதல் காத்துக்கொண்டே வாழ்கின்றேன், பிரிந்தாலும் உன்னைத் தேடிக்கொண்டே
நீயும் என் நெஞ்சில் நீயும் என் நெஞ்சில் (Instrumental Fade Out) |

जब पास हो मेरे, तो सब सही सा लगता है, तुझसे दूर होते ही, जैसे कोई टुकड़ा बिखर जाता है। तेरे बिना ये सन्नाटा, खा जाता है मुझे, क्या कभी महसूस किया तुने, जो दर्द है मेरे सीने में?
तू क्यों इतनी दूर? जब दिल से मैं इतना पास हूँ, तू क्यों मुझसे मुँह मोड़ती है, क्या मैं इतना ही बेक़दर हूँ? तेरी हर मुस्कान में मेरा टूटता हुआ दिल है, फिर भी तुझसे प्यार है, ये सच्चाई ही सबसे बड़ी मुश्किल है।
वो जब तुझे देखता है, क्यों मेरी जान तुझसे छीन लेता है? मैं तुझे संभालने को तैयार हूँ, और तू मुझसे भाग जाती है। तेरे पीछे ये सब कुछ छोड़ आया, और अब सिर्फ एक ही सवाल है: क्या कभी तूने मुझे चाहा?
तू बोलती है मुझसे जब हम साथ हैं, पर जैसे ही लौट जाती है, खामोशी बढ़ जाती है। तेरी हर वो बात, मेरे दिल में घाव बन जाती है, क्या तुझे कभी मेरी फिक्र थी, या ये बस एक मोह-माया थी? |

Veruppai nokki pogikran, Alivin kaila sekkinan, Ada veruppai nokki pogikran, Alivin kaile sekkinan.
Unnidam thedi valuthu erudhan, Valuthu erudhan, Kannili erudhu kan thirandhan, Kan thirandhan. Ennai nanum thinam thinam, Turning panni valuthu erudhan, Valuthu eruppan.
Kannu kula karu vili, Kanniran ulla enna vali, Magam pola nanum tane thoram selkiran.
Thanimaile nanum than, Ada valuthu vadinan, Ada valuthu valkiran.
Vazhai nala pain full tha, Enna life fulla torture tha. Poovin ulla mullai pola, Padrathu keda kayaikal.
Ootake nanum pogiran, Sunlight ah pola maraigiran, Nir velichi pola valikiran kadal, Mannai pola karai kiran. |
