ஆறாக பாய்கிறேன்
அலையாகி உடைகிறேன்
மடி சாய்ந்தேன்
கடலிடமே!
I flow like a river
I break apart like a wave
I leaned on your lap
Into the ocean
ஆறாக பாய்கிறேன்
அலையாகி உடைகிறேன்
மடி சாய்ந்தேன்
கடலிடமே!
I flow like a river
I break apart like a wave
I leaned on your lap
Into the ocean
மொழி மீட்கும்
மன அக தாழ்பாள்
திறந்தாயா…
உயிராேடு உயிர் சேர்ந்து
ஊஞ்சல் ஆடுதா! ஆஅ...
Plucking the language
The inner latch of my heart
Did you open it?
Life joining with life
Is swinging like a cradle...
சுத்தும் உந்தன் விழியாலே
கடவுள் நான் ஆகிறேன்
வாழும் காதல் நீயடி
மலர் வாசம் தந்தாயே…ஏ
Through your mesmerizing eyes
I become God...
You are living love, my dear
You gave me the fragrance of flowers...
பேசாதா பூவெல்லாம் பேசா...தா..
Won't all silent flowers speak?
ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
இருவிழிகளால் தொட்டாயே
அழைக்கிறாள் எனையே
வளக்கிறாய் கனா
உருவாய் கருவாய்
ஒளியாய் எனதாய்
நான் காண வான் வருவாயோ
முழு நிலவாய்…
ஹ்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்
Hmm mm mm mm…
You touched me with both your eyes
You are calling out to me
You are nurturing a dream
As a form, as an embryo
As light, as mine
For me to witness
Will you come from the sky?
As a full moon...
Hmm mm mm mm
சிந்தும் உந்தன் மழலையாலே
சிறுவன் நான் ஆகிறேன்
வா காதல் நீயடி
புது வானம் கண்டேனே…
Hmm mm mm mm
That you shower
With your innocent childish words
I turn into a young boy
You are living love, my dear
I saw a brand new sky...
விழி பூட்டும் ஒரு
மழை காற்றாய்
அணைத்தாயா?…
உயிரோடு உயிர் சேர்ந்து
ஊஞ்சல் ஆடுதா! ஆ...
That seals the eyes
Like a cool rainy breeze
Did you embrace me...?
Life joining with life
Is swinging like a cradle
மனம் கேட்கும்
ஏழிசை பாட்டாய்
இணைந்தாயா!
உயிரோடு உயிர் சேர்ந்து
ஊஞ்சல் ஆடுதா!
That the heart desires to hear
Like a gentle melody song
Did you unite with me?
Life joining with life
Is swinging like a cradle
மன ரகசியம் நீ அதிசயம்
பெருங்காதலா
புது ரகசியம்
நீ அதிசயம்
இது நீளுமா…?
Secret of the heart
You are a wonder
Oh vast love...
A brand new secret
You are a wonder
Will this lasting feeling endure...
ஹா..ஆ..ஆ..
Haa..aaa..aa….
