Ennavale Adi Ennavale,
-Oh my dear! oh my dear!

endhan idhayaththai tholaiththu vittaen
-I've lost my heart

Endha idam adhu tholaindha idam,
-The place where I lost it

andha idaththaiyum marandhuvittaen
-I forgot that place as well.

Undhan kaal golusil adhu tholaindhadhadhendru
-Thinking that I would have lost it in your anklets

undhan kaaladi thedi vandhaen
-I came searching for it at your feet

Kaadhalendral perum avasthai endru, unai kandadhum kandu kondaen
-I realised that love is agony after I saw you.

Endhan kazhuththu varai indru kaadhal vandhu iru kan vizhi pidhungi
nindraen.
-Being filled with love upto my neck I now have my eye-balls bobbing
out!

Stanza 1:

Vaai mozhiyum endhan thaai mozhiyum indru vasappada villaiyadi
- Both my power of speech and my mother-tongue, are not in my control
today.

Vaitrukkum thondaikkum uruvamilladhoru urundaiyum urulaudhadi
- I feel a lump bobbing up and down between my stomach and throat

Kaathirundhaal, Edhir paathirundhaal oru nimishamum varushamadi
-When you are waiting and pining for your love, every minute seems
like a year

Kangalellaam enai paarpadhu pol oru kalakkamum thondrudhadi
-I have this overwhelming feeling that all eyes are staring at me.

Idhu swargamaa? narahamaa? Solladi ullapadi
-Is this heaven? Or hell? Please tell me as it is.

Naan vaazhvadhum, vidai kondu povadhum un vaarthayil ulladhadieeee...
-My life and death are entirely in your words!

Stanza 2:

Gokilamae nee kural koduththaal, unnai kumbittu kann adippaen
-Oh Cuckoo! if you were to give me a call, I shall bow before you and
wink at you.

Gopuramae unai saaithukondu undhan koondhalil meen pidippaen
-Oh temple tower! I shall tilt you and try fishing in your long
plaits of hair.

Vennilavae unai thoongavaikka undhan viralukku sodukkedupaen
-My Moon! to put you to sleep, I shall massage your fingers

Varuda varum poongatraiyellam konjam vadikatti anuppi vaippen
-I shall then filter the breeze that comes to caress you and then
send it across

En kaadhalin thevaiyai konjum kaadhukkul odhi vaippaen
-I shall whisper the needs of my love in its ears as well

Un kaaladi ezhudhiya kolangal
-The patterns which your toes make on the sand

siru kavidhaigal endruraippae...n.
-I shall call them tiny poems.
