அன்பே ஓ...
அன்பே .......
Oh my love... my love...
Aareeyyyy...
உன் பாா்வை போதும்
வானம் மேலே நிலவு தேவை
இல்லை உன் வாசம் போதும்
பூமி எங்கும் பூக்கள் தேவை இல்லை
Your gaze alone is enough
There is no need for a moon in the sky
Your fragrance alone is enough
There is no need for flowers across the earth
அன்பே அன்பே
ஏன் கண்ணில் விழுந்தாய்
அன்பே அன்பே ஏன் நெஞ்சில்
நுழைந்தாய் அன்பே அன்பே
ஏன் விட்டு பிாிந்தாய் அன்பே
அன்பே புயல் போலே கடந்தாய்
My beloved, my beloved
You fell into my eyes
My beloved, my beloved
You entered my heart
My beloved, my beloved
You separated from me and left
My beloved, my beloved
You swept past me like a storm

My beloved, my beloved
You fell into my eyes
Nanna nae nanae na nanna nae
காதல் என்பது
பொல்லாத தீ தான் மறக்க
நினைத்தும் நெஞ்சோடு
நீ தான்
Love is a wicked
fire indeed
Even when I try to forget, in my heart
it is only you
கண்கள் முழுதும்
நீ வந்த கனவு விடிந்தாலும்
முடியாதடி
Filling my entire eyes
is the dream of your presence
It does not end even when dawn breaks, my girl
உன்னோடு நான்
வாழ்ந்த நொடிகளே போதும்
ஜென்மம் ஈடேருமே உன்
விரல் தருகின்ற வெப்பங்களை
நினைத்தால் நெஞ்சில் வலி கூடுமே
The few moments I lived with you
are more than enough
My entire lifetime feels fulfilled
When I think of the warmth
that your fingers gave
The pain inside my heart increases...
அன்பே அன்பே
ஏன் கண்ணில் விழுந்தாய்
அன்பே அன்பே ஏன் நெஞ்சில்
நுழைந்தாய் அன்பே அன்பே
ஏன் விட்டு பிாிந்தாய் அன்பே
அன்பே புயல் போலே கடந்தாய்
My beloved, my beloved
You fell into my eyes
My beloved, my beloved
You entered my heart
My beloved, my beloved
You separated from me and left
My beloved, my beloved
You swept past me like a storm
யாரும் வந்து போகாத
கோவில் தெய்வம் போலே
என்னை மாற்றும் காதல் என்று
முடியும் நான் தேடும் தேடல்
நீ இன்றி நான் ஏதடி
Like a temple
that no one visits
Like a deity
Love changes me completely
When will it end,
this search of mine?
Without you, what am I, girl?
கண்ணிாின் துளி
வந்து விழிகளை மூடும்
எங்கே என் தேவதை
A tear drop comes
and covers my eyes
Where is my angel?
காதோரம் உந்தன்
குரல் கேட்டுக்கொண்டே
நாளும் கரையும் என் நாழிகை
Hearing your whispered voice near my ears,
my days melt away
continuously
அன்பே அன்பே
ஏன் கண்ணில் விழுந்தாய்
அன்பே அன்பே ஏன் நெஞ்சில்
நுழைந்தாய் அன்பே அன்பே
ஏன் விட்டு பிாிந்தாய் அன்பே
அன்பே புயல் போலே கடந்தாய்
My beloved, my beloved
You fell into my eyes
My beloved, my beloved
You entered my heart
My beloved, my beloved
You separated from me and left
My beloved, my beloved
You swept past me like a storm
