My dear, my eyes have been missing since yesterday

why did you steal them and then not even talk to me yet

but even though i dont know of anything you've done, i feel like waves are crashing in me

i don't know your name, you don't know mine, how come inside places are switching?

there's no way for my mouth to speak what is the way to end this pain??

pirai mugam paarthathu konjam
rattham kodhi kothikkum ulai kothithidum neerkkumizh pola
sittham thudithudikum puyal ethirthidum oar ilai pola

with your glance my heart fell and fell

my heart tripped and stumbled

my burka fluttered a little

and i saw your face a little

my blood is boiling my insides are boiling like water

i tremble, like a leaf in a hurricane

What will a rain drop do when fire falls in a bamboo forest

the bamboo forest will turn to ashes [?]

in a lightning glance's speed

i dreamt of me with you

a girl's forbidden thoughts

i dreamt of with me

i forgot myself, i'm not in this world

if i lose you, there will be no honey in this flower

is this a dream or is it real ask me and know the truth

since i saw you, i forgot my mother tongue
