ஓ உனது சிரிப்பினில்
சிதறும் அழகினை
பூக்கள் ரசித்தே வாசம் பிறந்ததோ
எனது பிறவியின் அர்த்தம் உணரவே
உன்னை எனது வாழ்வில் தந்ததோ
Oh, in your smile
The beauty that scatters
Did flowers admire it and give birth to fragrance?
To realize the purpose of my birth
Did destiny give you to my life?
இருவர் வாழும் உலகிலே
உன்னை அனைத்து கொள்வேன் உயிரிலே
இரவில் தேயும் நிலவிலே
நாம் சேர்ந்து வாழ்வோம் அருகிலே
In a world where two people live
I will embrace you into my very soul
In the night and the burning moon
We shall live together side by side
அடி உன்னோடு வாழும் ஒவ்வொரு நாளும்
இறகை போல பறக்கிறேன்
நான் உன்னோடு வாழும் நொடியில் ஏனோ
மீண்டும் ஒரு முறை பிறக்கிறேன்
Oh, every day I live with you
I fly like a feather
Why is it that in the moments I live with you
I am born once again?
