மூன்று நான் ஆகுமே
பேசவே உன்னிடம்
அதுவரை ஆவலை தாங்குமா
என் மனம்
It will take three days
To speak with you
Until then, my eagerness
Can my heart endure it?
என் நினைவோடு
நீ துணை இருப்பாயடி
உன் அருகாமையில்
வலி தொடராதடி
குரல் கேட்கும் வரை
புவி சுழலாதடி...
Within my memories, you
Will accompany me, my dear
In your closeness
Pain will not linger, my dear
Until I hear your voice
The earth will not spin, my dear

Ahaa…haa..ohhh
Haaa….ahaaa…haa..ohhh

Haaa….ahaaa…haa..ohhh
காலை நீ மாலை நீ
காண்கிற காட்சி நீ
வேலை நீ வேள்வி நீ
வீட்டில் யாவும் நீ
You are the morning
You are the evening
You are the sight I behold
You are time itself
You are the sacred ritual
You are everything in my home
நீ பேசாமலே
மொழி கதையானதே
ஒளியில்லாமலே மனம்
இசைப்பாடுதே
ஒரு யுகமாயினும்
இதை இரசிப்பேனடி
Even without you speaking
Language turned into a story
Even without sound
My heart sings music
Even if an eon passes
I will relish this, my dear
