ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
Hoo oo oo oo
அழகை அழகாய்
ஒரு கோப்பையில் ஆரம்பிப்போம்
நெருங்கி நெருங்கி
சில நெஞ்சங்கள் சேகரிப்போம்
Beautifully, so beautifully
Let us begin over a cup
Coming closer and closer
Let us gather a few hearts
சிறிதே பயணம்
அதில் பூக்களை பார்த்திருப்போம்
நினைவை திரட்டி
இந்த வாழ்க்கையை வாழ்ந்திருப்போம்
The journey is short
Let us admire the flowers along the way
Gathering them as memories
Let us live this life fully
திரும்பாதது காலம் தானே
இணைந்தால் இல்லை பாரம்தானே
இதுவே நல்ல நேரம் தானே
வாழ்வை கொண்டாடலாம்
Love is that which never turns back
When united, there is no burden at all
Isn't this the perfect time?
Let us celebrate life
மனம் தேடிடும் வாசம் தானே
வழியில் வரும் ஞானம் தானே
கிழிந்தே வரும் தாளில் கூட
பூக்கள் உண்டாக்கலாம்
Isn't it the fragrance that the heart seeks?
Isn't it wisdom gained along the journey?
Even on a torn piece of paper
Flowers can be created
மதுவான கனவில்
தினம் மானிடர் ஏறி வந்தோம்
நமக்கான சிலரை
ஒரு வரம் என வாங்கி வந்தோம்
In a sweet honeyed dream
We humans rose up every day
A few people destined for us
We received as a divine boon
அதற்கான விலையாய்
கொஞ்சம் நேரத்தை தான் கொடுத்தோம்
இருந்தாலும் வரவாய்
சில தோழ்களில் சாய்ந்திருந்தோம்
As the price paid for that
We gave only a little of our time
Yet as a bountiful gain
We leaned on a few supportive shoulders
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ...
Hoo oo oo oo
Hoo oo oo oo
Hoo oo oo oo
Hoo oo oo
ஒரு நாள் என் மெத்தை மேல
நான் வைத்த போர்வை இல்லை
உன்னை கட்டி மூடி கொள்ள
நானே வீசினேன்
One day upon my bed
The blanket I kept was missing
To wrap and cover you up
I blew it open myself
ஒரு நாளில் சாலை ஓரம்
மழையோடு நானும் நின்றேன்
உன் குடை சேரத்தானே
என் குடை தருகிறேன்
One day by the roadside
I stood in the rain
Just to share your umbrella
I gave away my own umbrella
உன்னோடு போகும் தூரம்
கேள்வி இல்லாமல் போகிறேன்
உன் பேச்சை மட்டும் தானே
நான் உள் வாங்கினேன்
The distance traveled with you
I walk without asking any questions
Only your sweet words
Did I take deep into my soul
நம் பிள்ளை பேரை கூட
சேர்ந்தது உன்னோடு தேடினேன்
கனவென்று தெரியும் கண்ணே
திறந்து கண் மூடினேன்
Even our child's name
I searched together with you
Even knowing it was a dream, my dear
I closed my eyes wide open
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ...

The journey is short
Adhil pookkalai paarthiruppom
Let us admire the flowers along the way
Ninaivaai thiratti
Gathering them as memories
Indha vaazhkaiyai vaazhndhiruppom
Let us live this life fully
Thirumbaadhadhu kaadhal thaane
Love is that which never turns back
Inaindhal illai baaram thaane
When united, there is no burden at all

Isn't this the perfect time?
Vaazhvai kondaadalaam
Let us celebrate life

Kilindhe varum thaalil kooda
Even on a torn piece of paper
Pookal undaakalaam
Flowers can be created
Madhuvana kanavil
In a sweet honeyed dream
Dhinam maanidar yeri vandhom
We humans rose up every day
Namakaana silarai
A few people destined for us
Oru varam ena vangi vandhom
We received as a divine boon
Adharkaana vilaiyaai
As the price paid for that
Konjam nerathai thaan koduthom
We gave only a little of our time
Irundhalum varavaai
Yet as a bountiful gain
Sila tholgalai saainthirundhom
We leaned on a few supportive shoulders

Oru naal en methai mele

The blanket I kept was missing
Unai katti moodi kolla
To wrap and cover you up
Naanae veesinen
I blew it open myself
Oru naalil salai oram
One day by the roadside
Mazhaiyodu naanum nindren
I stood in the rain
Un kudai sera thaanae
Just to share your umbrella
En kudai tharugiren
I gave away my own umbrella
Unnodu pogum dhooram
The distance traveled with you
Kelvi illamal pogiren
I walk without asking any questions
Un pechai mattum thaane
Only your sweet words
Naan ul vaanginen
Did I take deep into my soul
Namm pillai perai koda
Even our child's name
Serndhu unnodu thedinen
I searched together with you
Kanavendru theriyum kannae
Even knowing it was a dream, my dear
Thirandhu kan moodinen
I closed my eyes wide open
