Oru Kili Oru Kili Lyrics in English
Oru kili oru kili… siru kili
Unai thodavae.. anumathii
Oru thuli oru thuli.. siru thuli
Vazhigiradhae vizhi vazhi
Unakkul naan vaazhum
Vivaram naan kandu
Viyakiren viyarkiren
Enaku naan alla
Unakku thaan endru unargiren
Nizhal ena thodargiren
Oru kili oru kili… siru kili
Unai thodavae.. anumathii
Oru thuli oru thuli.. siru thuli
Vazhigiradhae vizhi vazhi
Vizhi alla viral idhu
Orr madal thaan varaindhadhu
Uyir alla… uyil idhu

Imaipathai naan thavirkiren
Vizhigalin vazhiyil nee

Oru Kili Oru Kili Lyrics English Translation
Oru kili oru kili… siru kili
One bird, one bird… a little bird,
Unai thodavae.. anumathii
May I have permission to touch you?
Oru thuli oru thuli.. siru thuli
A drop, a tiny drop,
Vazhigiradhae vizhi vazhi
Flows softly along the path of the eyes.
Unakkul naan vaazhum
I live within you.
Vivaram naan kandu
I have seen the truth clearly.
Viyakiren viyarkiren
I shiver and I sweat — overcome with feeling.
Enaku naan alla
I am not mine anymore.
Unakku thaan endru unargiren
I realize that I belong only to you.
Nizhal ena thodargiren
I follow you like a shadow.
Oru kili oru kili… siru kili
One bird, one bird… a little bird,
Unai thodavae.. anumathii
May I have permission to touch you?
Oru thuli oru thuli.. siru thuli
A drop, a tiny drop,
Vazhigiradhae vizhi vazhi
Flows softly along the path of the eyes.
Vizhi alla viral idhu
This isn’t an eye — it’s a touch.
Orr madal thaan varaindhadhu
A single stroke has drawn this feeling.
Uyir alla… uyil idhu
It’s not just life — it’s the soul itself.
Unakku thaan uriyadhu
It belongs only to you.
Imaigalin idayil nee
You dwell between the blinks of my eyes.
Imaipathai naan thavirkiren
I try not to blink, to keep seeing you.
Vizhigalin vazhiyil nee
You move along the path of my gaze.
Urakkam vandhaal thadukiren
I fight away sleep when it comes.
Kaadhal thaan enaalum
Even if this is love,
Oru vaarthaikkul varaadhadhu
It cannot fit into a single word.
Kaalangal sendralum andha
Even as time passes,
Vaanam pol vizhaadhadhu
It never falls — like the endless sky.
Oru kili oru kili… siru kili
One bird, one bird… a little bird,
Unai thodavae.. anumathii
May I have permission to touch you?
Oru thuli oru thuli.. siru thuli
A drop, a tiny drop,
Vazhigiradhae vizhi vazhi
Flows softly along the path of the eyes.
Thoorathu megathai
Like a distant cloud,
Thurathi chellum paravai polae
A bird flies chasing it.
Thogayae unai naan
I came searching for your form,
Thediyae vandhen ingae
And I have found you here.
Poigayai pol kidanthaval
Like a still pond, you lay quietly,
Parvai ennum kall erinthaai
Then you threw a stone called a glance.
Thenginen un kaiyil
I melted in your hands,
Vazhanginen indrae
And gave myself to you.
Thozhiyae un dhegam
Your being is like the soft breeze,
Ilam thendral thaan thodaadhadhoo
Even the young wind hesitates to touch it.
Thozhanae un kaigal thoda
When your hands reached close,
Naanam thaan vidadhadhoo
Even shyness refused to leave.
Oru kili oru kili… siru kili
One bird, one bird… a little bird,
Unai thodavae.. anumathii
May I have permission to touch you?
