நடை பாதை பூவனங்கள் பார்த்து
நிகழ்கால கனவுகளில் பூத்து
ஒரு மூச்சின் ஓசையிலே
ஒன்றாய் வாழ்ந்திருப்போம்....ஓஹ்....ஓஓஹோ
Looking at the flower gardens along the walkway
Blooming in present-day dreams
In the sound of a single breath
We will live together... ooh..oohoo
வா உள்ளங்கைகளை கோர்த்து
கை ரேகை மொத்தமும் சேர்த்து
சில தூர பயனங்களில்
சிறகாய் சேர்ந்திருப்போம்
Come, clasp our palms together
Joining all the lines on our hands
In a few long-distance journeys
We will fly together like wings
அகலாதே....அகலாதே
நொடிகூட நகராதே
செல்லாதே.....செல்லாதே
கணம் தாண்டி போகாதே
Do not depart... do not depart
Do not move away... even for a second
Do not go away... do not go away
Do not go beyond a moment
நகராமல் உன் முன் நின்றே
பிடிவாதம் செய்ய வேண்டும்
அசராமல் முத்தம் தந்தே
அலங்காரம் செய்ய வேண்டும்
Standing before you without moving
I want to act stubborn with love
Giving kisses without tiring
I want to adorn you with affection
நடை பாதை பூவனங்கள் பார்த்து
நிகழ்கால கனவுகளில் பூத்து
ஒரு மூச்சின் ஓசையிலே
ஒன்றாய் வாழ்ந்திருப்போம்....ஓஹ்....ஓஓஹோ
Looking at the flower gardens along the walkway
Blooming in present-day dreams
In the sound of a single breath
We will live together...
வா உள்ளங்கைகளை கோர்த்து

சில தூர பயனங்களில்
சிறகாய் சேர்ந்திருப்போம்
Come, clasp our palms together
Joining all the lines on our hands
In a few long-distance journeys
We will fly together like wings
நீ எந்தன் வாழ்வில் மாறுதல்
என் இதயம் கேட்ட ஆறுதல்
மடி சாயும் மனைவியே
பொய் கோபப் புதல்வியே
நாடு வாழ்வில் வந்த உறவு நீ
இதயத்தின் தலைவி நீ
பேரன்பின் பிறவி நீ
You are a transformative change in my life
The solace that my heart yearned for
Oh wife who rests on my lap
Oh daughter who feigns playful anger
You are the bond that arrived mid-way in my life
You are the memory that stays along for a long journey
You are the queen of my heart
You are the personification of boundless love
என் குறைகள் நூறை மறந்தவள்
எனக்காக தன்னை துறந்தவள்
மனசாலே என்னை மணந்தவள்
அன்பாலே உயிரை அளந்தவள்
உன் வருகை என் வரமாய் ஆனதே
She who overlooked my hundred flaws
She who sacrificed herself for my sake
She who wedded me in her heart
She who measured my life with pure love
Your arrival turned out to be my blessed boon
நடை பாதை பூவனங்கள் பார்த்து
நிகழ்கால கனவுகளில் பூத்து
ஒரு மூச்சின் ஓசையிலே
ஒன்றாய் வாழ்ந்திருப்போம்....ஓஹ்....ஓஓஹோ
