Ye Kaalam... Ye Dooram...

Daache unche na ninney ninney..

Ye gaayam...Ye mounam...

marche aapena nanne nanne

Which length of time....which distance...

have been able to take you away from me?

Which wound...which silence...

have been able to change me and stop me [from loving you]?

Malli raavaa ee chotaki

marichipoleka mummaatiki

Malli raava levannavi

Raava chenthe vadili chinthe

You will eventually come back to this place...

Unable to forget everything

The things that you said did not exist between us - they will come back...

So come here and stay by my side, leaving all your worries behind...

Tarimestunna vadilestunna

Ye kopala lo kaalchina koolchina

Ee bandhalalo ea mandunnado

Ee preme ila

Oh egasegasena

I'm chasing them away, I'm leaving them behind...

Every moment of anger that burnt or crashed [our bridges]

There is some drug in the way we connect.

This love we have...

Oh it's going to come out flying!

Malli raava ee chotuki

marichipoleka mummaatiki

Malli raava levannavi

Raava chenthe vadili chinthe

Which length of time....which distance...

have been able to take you away from me?

Which wound...which silence...

have been able to change me and stop me [from loving you]?
