ஈர நெஞ்சம் உள்ள வரை
யாரும் இங்கே தூரம் இல்லை
அன்புக்கு முன்னாலே
ஆகாயம் கை அளவு
As long as there is a tender heart,
No one here is far away.
In the presence of love,
The sky is merely the size of a hand.
கார் இருளை மீறி கொண்டு
காட்சி தரும் தீபம் என
எங்கேயும் எப்போதும்
தோண்டிடும் ஓர் உறவு
Overcoming the deep darkness,
Like a lamp that gives light,
Anywhere and anytime,
A relationship emerges.
விரல் தீண்டலும்
அன்பைச் சொல்லும்
விழி பார்வையும்
அன்பைச் சொல்லும்
மொழி கூட்டங்கள்
ஓரம் செல்லும்
சிறு மௌனமும்
பேசி வெல்லும்
Even a touch of fingers
Expresses love.
A glance of the eyes
Expresses love.
Crowds of spoken words
Step aside.
Even a brief silence
Speaks and wins over.
இசை பாசைகள் கேட்பதில்லை
அங்கு ஓசையும் தேவையில்லை
இசை தந்திடும் ஆறுதல் போல்
இந்த பூமியில் ஏதும் இல்லை
பொங்கும் பேராழிமேல்
ஓர் துளியாய்
பிரபஞ்ச தரை மேலே
மானுடமே சிறு புள்ளி
The languages of music
Are unheard.
There is no need for sound there.
Like the comfort
That music provides,
There is nothing else on this earth.
On the surging vast ocean,
Like a single drop,
On the floor of the universe,
Humanity is just a tiny dot.
கண்மணியே
கண்மணியே
துயரம் இல்லை
உன்னை விட மண்ணில்
ஒரு உயரம் இல்லை
எல்லாமும் நிறையென்று
இவ்வுலகில் யாரும் இல்லை
Oh my precious one,
Oh my precious one,
There is no sorrow.
On this earth, nothing is
Higher than you.
Claiming to be complete in everything,
There is no one in this world.
கண்மணியே
கண்மணியே
துயரம் இல்லை
உன்னை விடா மண்ணில்
ஒரு உயரம் இல்லை
எல்லாமும் நிறையென்று
இவ்வுலகில் யாரும் இல்லை
Oh my precious one,
Oh my precious one,
There is no sorrow.
On this earth, nothing is
Higher than you.
Claiming to be complete in everything,
There is no one in this world.

In the presence of love,
The sky is merely the size of a hand.
அன்னமிடும் கைகள் போலே
இங்கே வண்ணமில்லை வானவில்லே
பிறை இல்லாமல் வானத்தில் நிலவில்லை
இசை உள்ளடும் மௌனங்கள் குறையில்லை
சத்தமெல்லாம் ராகம் பாடும்
துண்டு சந்தனமும் வாசம் வீசும்
Like the hands that feed food,
There is no rainbow as colorful here.
Without a crescent in the sky,
There is no moon.
In the silences where music resides,
There is no flaw.
Every sound sings a melody,
Even a small piece of sandalwood spreads fragrance.

The song poetically highlights how small touches, glances, and quiet moments often speak louder than spoken language, positioning music and silence as ultimate forms of emotional healing.
