You are like a fountain
You are feel so uncertain
You are like a fountain
You are feel so uncertain

Pala vanna kolam sugamae
Viraigindra vaegam azhagae
Pala vanna kolam sugamae
Viraigindra vaegam azhagae
Paarkkum bodhae vizhighal paavam

You are like a fountain
You are feel so uncertain

Mannil thondrum vaazhkai
Minnal oviyam oviyam

You are like a fountain
You are feel so uncertain
You are like a fountain
You are feel so uncertain

பல வண்ண கோலம் சுகமே
விரைகின்ற வேகம் அழகே
பல வண்ண கோலம் சுகமே
விரைகின்ற வேகம் அழகே
பார்க்கும் போதே விழிகள் பாவம்

You are like a fountain
You are feel so uncertain

மண்ணில் தோன்றும் வாழ்க்கை
மின்னல் ஓவியம் ஓவியம்
