FULL SONG

Aasaimugam maranthu poche, idhai yaaridam solven adi thozhi; 

Nesam marakavillai nenjam, enil ninaivu mugam marakalaamo; 

(Aasaimugam..)

Kannil theriyuthoru thotram, athil Kannan azhagu muzhuthillai; 

Nannu mugavadivu kaanil, andha Nallamalar sirippai kaanom; 

(Aasaimugam..)

Ooivu mozhidhalum illamal,avan Uravai ninaithirukum ullam

Vaayum uraipadhundu kandaai, andha Maayan pughazhinai eppodhum

(Aasaimugam..)

Kangal purindhu vitta paavam, uyir Kannan uru marakalachu

Pengal inathil edhu polae, oru Pedhayai munbu kandathundo

(Aasaimugam..)

Thenai maranthirukum vandum, oli Sirapai maranthu vitta poovum

Vaanai maranthirukum payirum, indha Vaiyam muzhuthum illai thozhi

(Aasaimugam..)

Kannan mugam maranthuponal, intha Kangal irunthu payan undo; 

Vanna padamumillai kandaai, ini Vaazhum vazhi ennadi thozhi; 

(Aasaimugam..)

Meaning

I have forgotten the face that I love, 

Dear friend, to whom shall I tell this. 

When the heart has not forgotten the love, Is it proper to forget the face from memory?

1. A form is seen by my eyes, In which I do not see the full beauty of Krishna, When I see the form of his face, I am not able, To see his flower like smile in that. 

2. Without any let of, my mind, Thinks of my relationship with him, And you have seen that my mouth, Always tells about his fame. 

3. Due to the sin done by my eyes, The form of Krishna was forgotten, Have you seen among women, An innocent one like this ever?

4. Oh my friend in this entire world, there is no, Bee which has forgotten the honey, Flower that has forgotten the necessity of light, And the crop which has forgotten the sky. 

5. What is the use of having these eyes, If we forget the face of Lord Krishna?You know that I do not have his color portrait, And Now what is the way to live?
