நீ நடந்து போகும்போது
உன் நிழலாய் வருவேன்
I looked at you every single day,
My eyes blossomed fully with joy.

நட்பாய் நம் உறவை கண்டேன்
இருதயம் காதல் நான் கொண்டேன்
விடிந்ததும் உன் முகம் பார்க்க
முடியாமல்தான் தவித்தேனே
I saw our bond as mere friendship,
Yet in my heart, I fell in love.
To see your face at break of dawn,
I yearned, unable to do so.
உன் சிரிப்பின் ஓசையை கேட்க
என் சிந்தனை உன்னிடம் தந்தேன்
உன் இதழ்வரி இடைவெளி பார்க்க
என் இமைகள் மூடிட மறுத்தேன்
என் ஜீவன் கலந்த கவிதை நீயடி
நீ என்னை பிரிவது ஏனடி
ஏனடி ஏனடி ஏனடி....
To listen to the sound of your laughter,
I surrendered all my thoughts to you.
To look at the slight gap between your lips,
My eyelids refused to close.
You are the poem blended into my life, girl.
Why are you separating from me, girl?
Why, oh why, oh why...
தினம் தினம் உன்னை பார்த்தேன்
