............................................
கண்ணோடு கண்ணோடு
கலந்துவிட்டேன் உன்னோடு
உன்னோடு தொலைந்துவிட்டேன்
விண்ணோடு விண்ணோடு
பறந்துவிட்டேன் எந்தன் கண்ணோடு
ஒட்டிக்கொண்ட காதல் காட்சியே
I merged eye to eye with you
I got lost with you, with you
I flew into the sky, into the sky
The sight of love that stuck
To my eyes
நீதானே ஓஹோ.....
என் தேடல் ஓஹோ.....
Is only you, ohoo vooh…
My search, ohoo vooh…
உன் ஆசை
உன்பார்வை உன்
மேனி உன் சோ்கை
உன் கொஞ்சல் நான்
பார்த்து ஏதோ ஆனேனே
Your desire, your glance
Your body, your company
Seeing your sweet affection
I became something indescribable…
............................................
உன்னைவிட்டால்
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே ஒன்னும்
தோணாமல் இத்தனை நாள்
காத்திருந்தேன் உன்னைக்காணாமல்
Besides you, inside my heart
Nothing comes to mind
I waited all these days
Without seeing you
துள்ளித்துள்ளி
ஓடுகின்ற பிள்ளைக்கண்டேனே
தூண்டில் கண்ணால் அய்யோ
இன்று மாட்டிக்கொண்டேனே
Leaping and running around
I saw a child in you
Alas, today with fishing-hook eyes
I got caught
வண்ண வெண்ணிலா
வந்து போனதால் தூக்கம்
கண்ணிலே அது தூரம்
போனதே
As the colourful white moon
Came and went
The sleep in my eyes
Has drifted far away
தண்ணீர் சிற்பமாய்
உன்னைக்கண்டேனே தள்ளி
நின்றேதான் நான் தாகம்
கொண்டேனே
Like a sculpture made of water
I saw you
Standing at a distance
I felt a deep thirst
உன் ஆசை
உன்பார்வை உன்
மேனி உன் சோ்கை
உன் கொஞ்சல் நான்
பார்த்து ஏதோ ஆனேனே
Your desire, your glance
Your body, your company
Seeing your sweet affection
I became something indescribable…
............................................
பள்ளிக்கூடத்தின்
உடையில் உன்னைக்
கண்டேனே காதல் பாடம்
கண்களாலே கற்றுக்கொண்டேனே
In school uniform
I saw you back then
Lessons of love through eyes
I learned from you
ஒற்றைக்காலில்
பாண்டியாடும் பட்டாம்பூச்சியே
என்னை என்றும் வாழவைக்கும்
உந்தன் மூச்சியே
Playing hopscotch on one leg
Like a playful butterfly
What keeps me alive forever
Is your breath
சாவி இல்லாமல்
ஆடும் பொம்மை நீ
தள்ளிச்சென்றாலும் என்
தாயின் வெண்மை நீ
Without needing a key
You are a dancing wind-up doll
Even if you walk away
You possess my mother's warmth
மொட்டைமாடி
மேல் வண்ண வெண்ணிலா
உன்னைக்கண்டாலே
வானைவிட்டு ஓடாதோ
Upon the open terrace roof
The colorful white moon
If it sees you
Won't it run away from the sky?
என் வீட்டு
ஜன்னலில் உன்
காற்றுப்பட்டாலே
தீ கூட தித்திக்கும்
பூவே உன்னாலே
At the window of my home
If your breeze touches
Even fire will taste sweet
Oh flower, because of you
............................................
கண்ணோடு கண்ணோடு
கலந்துவிட்டேன் உன்னோடு
உன்னோடு தொலைந்துவிட்டேன்
விண்ணோடு விண்ணோடு
பறந்துவிட்டேன் எந்தன் கண்ணோடு
ஒட்டிக்கொண்ட காதல் காட்சியே
I merged eye to eye with you
I got lost with you, with you
I flew into the sky, into the sky
The sight of love that stuck
To my eyes
நீதானே ஓஹோ.....
என் தேடல் ஓஹோ.....
Is only you, ohoo vooh…
