ஐ வில் கோல்டு யு சோ டைட்
ஸ்டே வித் மீ ஆல் நைட்
Looking at you right now
I somehow cannot believe this
I will hold you so tightly
Stay with me all night.. hoo.. hoo
நிலா எனக்கென ஒளிர்கிறதே
ஒரு கனா நிஜமாய் வருகிறதே
முடிவிலா இந்த காதல் நீள்கிறதே
உயிர் எல்லாம் உன் பெயரை கேட்கிறதே
The moon shines bright just for me
An unseen dream is turning into reality
This endless love keeps extending forever
My entire soul keeps hearing your name
இனி பேசாதே
மொழிகள் அது போதாதே
வழிகள் அது மாறாதே
எனதுயிரே இனி இனிதே
Do not speak any further now
Words are simply not enough
The pain will not remain the same
Oh my life, everything is sweet from now on...
எனை நீங்காதே
மயக்கம் இது தீராதே
தொடக்கம் இது முடியாதே
எனதுயிரே இனி உனதே
Do not separate from me
This mesmerizing trance will not subside
This beginning will never end
My life belongs to you from now on

Because baby you are mine
Now and for all time
Just put your hand in mine

கண்ணோடு கண் இணை கவ்வி
Because baby you are mine
Now and for all time
Just put your hand in mine
You and me, we are fine
ஒன்றை ஒன்று
உண்ணவும் நிலை பெறாது
உணர்வும் ஒன்றிட
அண்ணனும் நோக்கினான்
அவளும் நோக்கினாள்
By virtue of great good deeds
Standing together as ultimate soulmates
Their eyes locking together in deep gaze
இனி பேசாதே
மொழிகள் அது போதாதே
வழிகள் அது மாறாதே
எனதுயிரே இனி இனிதே
Consuming each other
Reaching a state oblivious to sleep and food
As their feelings merge into a single entity

Literary Allusion
“Annanum nookkinaal / Avalum nookkinaal”
The lines 'Annanum nookkinaal Avalum nookkinaal' are directly borrowed from Kambaramayanam, describing the legendary moment when Lord Rama and Sita lock eyes for the first time.
Monai (Alliteration)
“Kannodu kan inai kavvi”
Repetition of the initial consonant sound 'K' in 'Kannodu kan' creates a rhythmic cadence matching the gaze described.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Ini pesathae / Mozhigal adhu podhathae”
Endings with the '-athae' suffix across consecutive lines create a soothing, melodic rhyming pattern in Tamil poetry.

Trivia
