Lyrics:
Thuli thuliyaai en idhayathai
kanneeril karaiththu anupinen
Kaatril kalandhu avai Un swaasamaai maari
un azhagiya idhayathil kalandhuvidum endru
Tholaindha oru iru thuligalai
Theda manam ennakku illai-
Sollaadha pala kodi varathaigalodu avai
Ezhudhapadaadha en kadhal kadhaiyil serndhuvidum..

(Translation)
I dissolve my heart in those little tear drops
And scatter them in the wind, hoping-
That when you breathe, they would become one
With your heart, that which I long to be mine..
I will not search for the lost drops- for they
Along with all the unspoken words,
Would find their place-
In the unwritten story of my love.
