Yaar mugamae thedutho anbin vizhi Yaar mugamae thedutho anbin vizhi
Ner kaanavae indru undo vazhi Ner kaanavae indru undo vazhi

Ohho maayakkaaraa en manasoraa Unnaasaiyil thookkam poche

Aahaa un perai vaan mazhai thaarai En kaathilae sollalaachche
Udal engum pongum kadalaachche

Kann kaanaathathum manam kandu vidum Vaan chanthiran manam varalaachchae
Udal engum pongum kadalaachche Udal engum pongum kadalaachche
