{ அலை பாயும்
நெஞ்சிலே கோடி ஆசைகள்
மச்சி மச்சி அதைக் கூறவே
வார்த்தை ஏது மச்சி } (2)
{ In the wave-tossed heart, there are ten million desires, my friend
Which words can express it, my friend } (2)
நட்பிலே காதல்
தோன்றினால் யோகம்
காதலைச் சேர்ந்தால்
கூடுமே யாவும் நட்பிலே
காதல் தோன்றினால்
யோகம் இங்கே இங்கே

If love is born out of friendship, it is good fortune
If joined with love, everything comes together
If love is born out of friendship, it is good fortune
Here, right here, right here

நீ சொல்லாத
போதும் உனை
கையோடு தாங்க ஒரு
நட்பில்லையேல் நலம்
உன்னோடு சேராதே
Even when you do not speak,
If there is no friend to hold your hand,
Goodness will not reach you,
யார் சொன்னாலும்
கூட நிழல் மூழ்காது நீரில்
அதைப் போல் இந்த காதல்
உயிர் போனாலும் போகாது
No matter who says otherwise.
A shadow does not drown in water,
Just like that, this love
Will not leave even if life goes away.
தொடங்கிய
அறிமுகம் தொடர்கிறதே
சிறு குமிழ் இது கடலென
விரிகிறதே ஹே தயங்கிய
இடைவெளி குறைகிறதே
இரு இருதய இடைவெளி
குறைகிறதே அதனாலே
நட்பிலே காதல் உண்டு
உண்டு உண்டு
The acquaintance that began continues,
This tiny bubble expands like an ocean.
Hey, hesitant eyes break open their restraint,
The distance between two hearts reduces.
Therefore, love exists within friendship, yes it exists.
நீ முள் மீது
தூங்க உனை முந்தானை
பாயில் படு என்கின்றதே
அதன் பேர் இங்கு காதல் தான்
When you sleep on thorns,
It tells you to lie down on the mat ahead of time,
And its name here is love.
நீ தன்னாலே
ஏங்க உன்னைத் தன்னோடு
சேர்த்து பயன் செய்கின்றதே
அதன் ஆரம்பம் காமம் தான்
When you yearn all by yourself,
It joins you and journeys alongside,
And its origin is passion.
அடி முதல் முடி
வரை அரும்பெழுதேன்
விரல் தொடுவதும் சரியென
குழம்பிடுதே ரகசிய மொழிகளும்
புரிந்திடுதே உடல் முழுவதும்
வியர்வையில் வழிந்திடுதே
அதனாலே காதலில் காமம்
உண்டு உண்டு உண்டு
Goosebumps bloomed from head to toe,
Confused whether even a touch of a finger is right,
Secret languages are now understood,
The whole body is drenched in sweat.
Therefore, passion exists within love, yes it exists.
