...

I can see the sky,

I can see the rivers and the sea.

I can see the sky,

I can see the rivers and the sea.

With my own eyes,

I never saw a single thing;

I only saw the world through tears.

From now on, as my beauty,

and as my golden world,

I will see everything through you.

...

For all the world to see and envy,

this dream of our sweet bond goes on.

A dream coming true right beside me,

I will carry and protect you like a child in the womb.

The soothing scent of your lap is enough for me to sleep;

you are my blessing of eternal life.

O my sweet Tamil,

I will come to you as your guiding hand.

O my tender vine,

I am weeping out of pure joy.

Like a newborn searching for its mother's milk,

my soul hungers and searches for you.

Among millions of people,

I will know you alone through the language of touch.

There is nothing greater than boundless love;

with you, I am no longer poor.

My handsome love, my handsome love,

I will sing like a cuckoo on your shoulder.

My beautiful girl, my beautiful girl,

this is enough for a whole lifetime.

With my own eyes,

I never saw a single thing;

I only saw the world through tears.

From now on, as my beauty,

and as my golden world,

I will see everything through you.

...
