Poongodithan

M: pottu vaitha oru vatta nila - kulir
Punnagaiyil ennai thotta nila(2)
En manadhil ambu vitta nila ithu
Etta ninru ennai sutta nila
Vaazh naal thorum thinamthaan kaadhoram
Paadal koorum...

(Pottu)

M: aaraatha aasaigal thonrum ennai thoondum
Aanaalum vaai pesa anjum intha nenjam
Aval perai naalum asai podum uLLam
Aval pogum paathai nizhal pola sellum
Mounam paathi mogam paathi
Ennai kollum ennaalum...

(Pottu)

M: yaappodu seraatho paattu thamizh paattu
Thoppodu seraatho kaatru pani kaatru
Vinaa thaal pol inge kanaa kaanum kaalai
Vidai pole ange nadai podum paavai
Onraai koodum onraai paadum
Ponnaal ingu ennaalo...

Poongodithan

My darling, with the beautiful bindi on your forehead, my moon,
You struck me like a thunderbolt through the jasmine,
You are the one who cast a spell on my heart,
You are the one who captivate me with your gaze.
Every day of my life, every moment,
I sing songs...

(Bindi)

M: My unfulfilled desires surface and seek me out,
But my heart cannot speak, my lips are sealed.
My heart yearns for the name I cannot say,
I follow her footsteps like a shadow.
Silence on one side, desire on the other,
Even if it kills me...

(Bindi)

M: Whenever I touch the string instrument, I sing Tamil songs,
Whenever I hear the wind, I feel the breeze.
Like a stringless lute, I yearn to have dreams here,
Like a parting, I walk this path alone.
I gather sorrows, I sing of sorrows,
What is my worth here without you...
