ஏதோ செய்கிறாய்
என்னை ஏதோ செய்கிறாய்
என்னை என்னிடம் நீ
அறிமுகம் செய்கிறாய்
ஏதோ செய்கிறாய் என்னை
ஏதோ செய்கிறாய்
என்னை என்னிடம் நீ
அறிமுகம் செய்கிறாய்
You are doing something to me, you are doing something
You are introducing me to myself
You are doing something to me, you are doing something
You are introducing me to myself
உன்னோடு பேசினால்
உள் நெஞ்சில் மின்னல்
தோன்றுதே கண்ணாடி
பார்க்கையில் என் கண்கள்
உன்னை காட்டுதே
When I speak with you, inside my heart
Lightning strikes
When looking in the mirror
My eyes display you
பெண்ணே இது
கனவா நிஜமா உன்னை
கேட்கின்றேன் அன்பே
இந்த நிமிடம் நெஞ்சுக்குள்
இனிக்கிறதே அடடா இந்த
நெருப்பு மயக்கமாய்
இருக்கிறதே உன்னால்
இந்த உலகம் யாவுமே
புதிதாய் தெரிகிறதே
O girl, is this a dream or reality?
I am asking you
My love, this moment feels sweet inside my heart
Oh my, this fire feels like an intoxicating trance
Because of you, this whole world
Looks brand new to me...
ஓஓஓஹோ
Ooooooo…..oooooooo.ooooohooooooo…
பெண்ணே எந்தன்
கடிகாரம் எந்தன் பேச்சை
கேட்கவில்லை உன்னை
கண்ட நொடியோடு நின்றதடி
ஓடவில்லை
O girl, my clock
Does not listen to my words
From the second it saw you
It stopped and refused to tick
இது வரை யாரிடமும்
என் மனது சாயவில்லை
என்ன ஒரு மாயம் செய்தாய்
என் இடத்தில் நானும் இல்லை
Until now, towards anyone
My heart had never leaned
What kind of magic have you performed?
I am no longer present in my own place
என்ன இது
என்ன இது என் நிழலை
காணவில்லை உந்தன்
பின்பு வந்ததடி இன்னும்
அது திரும்பவில்லை
What is this, what is this?
My shadow is nowhere to be found
It went following behind you
And it hasn't returned yet
எங்கே என்று
கேட்டேன் உன் காலடி
காட்டுதடி அன்பே இந்த
நிமிடம் நெஞ்சுக்குள்
இனிக்கிறதே அடடா
இந்த நெருப்பு மயக்கமாய்
இருக்கிறதே உன்னால்
இந்த உலகம் யாவுமே
புதிதாய் தெரிகிறதே
When I asked where it went
It pointed at your footsteps
My love, this moment feels sweet inside my heart
Oh my, this fire feels like an intoxicating trance
Because of you, this whole world
Looks brand new to me...
காதல் நெஞ்சம்
பேசிக்கொள்ள வார்த்தை
ஏதும் தேவை இல்லை
மனதில் உள்ள ஆசை
சொல்ல மௌனம் போல
மொழி இல்லை
For hearts in love to speak to each other
No words are necessary
To express the desires inside the heart
There is no language quite like silence
இன்றுவரை என்
உயிரை இப்படி நான்
வாழ்ந்ததில்லை புத்தம்
புது தோற்றம் இது
வேறெதுவும் தோன்றவில்லை
Until today, my soul
I have never lived like this
This is a brand new existence
Nothing else comes to mind
நேற்று வரை
வானிலையில் எந்த
ஒரு மாற்றமில்லை
இன்று எந்தன் வாசலோடு
கண்டு கொண்டேன் வானவில்லை
Until yesterday, in the weather
There was no change at all
Today at my doorstep
I discovered a rainbow
ஒரே ஒரு நாளில்
முழு வாழ்க்கை வாழ்ந்தேனே
அன்பே இந்த நிமிடம்
நெஞ்சுக்குள் இனிக்கிறதே அடடா
இந்த நெருப்பு மயக்கமாய் இருக்கிறதே
உன்னால் இந்த உலகம் யாவுமே
புதிதாய் தெரிகிறதே
In just a single day
I have lived an entire lifetime...
My love, this moment feels sweet inside my heart
Oh my, this fire feels like an intoxicating trance
Because of you, this whole world
Looks brand new to me...
ஏதோ செய்கிறாய்
என்னை ஏதோ செய்கிறாய்
என்னை என்னிடம் நீ
அறிமுகம் செய்கிறாய்
ஏதோ செய்கிறாய் என்னை
ஏதோ செய்கிறாய்
என்னை என்னிடம் நீ
அறிமுகம் செய்கிறாய்
