Back to more recent times. I remember this and another song’s effects and graphics very well from when I watched the movie Kadhalan. Patta Rap, Mukkala Mukkabala and other songs from this movie also became very popular but this must be the most melodious of the collection. AR Rahman must’ve had a lot of fun trying out different styles.

**Ennavalae Adi Ennavalae Enthan Ithayathai Tholaithu Vittaen
**
Dear girl, hey dear girl, I’ve lost my heart.
**Entha Idam Athu Tholaintha Idam Antha Idathaiyum Maranthu Vittaen
**
Where did I lose it? It’s a lost place, and I’ve forgotten that place too.
**Unthan Kaalgolusil*1 Athu Tholainthadhenru Unthan Kaaladi Thaedi Vanthaen
**
I thought it might be lost in your anklets so I came following your foot steps.
**Kaathalenraal Perum Avasthaiyenru Unai Kandathum Kandu Kondaen
**
As soon as I saw you I realised what a huge trouble love is,
**Enthan Kazhuthu Varai Indru Kaathal Vanthu Iru Kanvizhi Thirungi Ninraen
**
Today, love has filled me up to my neck, and I stand with my eyes open in astonishment.
**Ennavalae Adi Ennavalae Enthan Ithayathai Tholaithu Vittaen
**
Dear girl, hey dear girl, I’ve lost my heart.
**Vaaimozhiyum Enthan Thaimozhiyum Inru Vasapadavillaiyadi
**
Spoken language and my Mother tongue are unusable.
**Vayitrukkum Thondaikkum Uruvamilla Oru Urundayum Uruluthadi
**
There seems to be a shapeless lump rolling between my stomach and my throat.
**Kaathirunthaal Ethir Paarthirunthaal Oru Nimishamum Varushamadi
**
If I wait, if I anticipate and expect, a single minute becomes a year.
**Kangalellaam Enai Paarppathupoal Oru Kalakkamum Thoanruthadi
**
I feel unsettled as though all eyes are watching me.
**Ithu Sorgamaa Naragamaa Solladi Ullapadi
**
Is this (feeling) heaven? or hell? Tell me honestly.
**Naan Vaazhvathum Vidaikondu Poavathum Un Vaarthaiyil Ullathadi.
**
Whether I live or die is in your words.
**Ennavalae Adi Ennavalae Enthan Ithayathai Tholaithu Vittaen
**
Dear girl, hey dear girl, I’ve lost my heart.
**Kokilamae Nee Kural Koduthaal Unai Kumbittu Kannadippaen
**
Hey cuckoo, if you give voice (sing), I will worship and then wink at you.
**Gopuramae Unai Saaithukkondu Unthan Koonthalil Meen Pidippaen
**
Hey Gopuram*2, I will lean you over and catch fish with your hair.
**Vennilavae Unai Thoongavaikka Unthan Viralukku Sodukeduppaen
**
Hey moon, to make you sleep I will massage your fingers.
**Varudavarum Poongaatraiyellaam Konjam Vadikatti Anuppivaippaen
**
I will filter even the most fragrant flower like breeze and send it over to you.
**En Kaathalin Thaevaiyai Kaadukkul Oathivaippaen
**
I will whisper my prayer of love and need for you in your ear.
**Un Kaaladi Ezhuthiya Kolangal Puthu Kavithaigal Enruraippaen.
**
I will recite the patterns under your feet (Kolangal*3) as though they were new poetry.
**Ennavalae Adi Ennavalae Enthan Ithayathai Tholaithu Vittaen
**
Dear girl, hey dear girl, I’ve lost my heart.
**Entha Idam Athu Tholaintha Idam Antha Idathaiyum Maranthu Vittaen
**
Where did I lose it? It’s a lost place, and I’ve forgotten that place too.
**Unthan Kaalgolusil Athu Tholainthadhenru Unthan Kaaladi Thaedi Vanthaen
**
I thought it might be lost in your anklets so I came following your foot steps.
**Kaathalenraal Perum Avasthaiyenru Unai Kandathum Kandu Kondaen
**
As soon as I saw you I realised what a huge trouble love is,
**Enthan Kazhuthu Varai Indru Kaathal Vanthu Iru Kanvizhi Pithungi Ninraen
**
Today, love has filled me up to my neck, and I stand with my eyes open in astonishment.
**Ennavalae Adi Ennavalae Enthan Ithayathai Tholaithu Vittaen
**
Dear girl, hey dear girl, I’ve lost my heart.
