ஓ பி பியா இல் கை யஹைன தன்
ஓ ரஷ்யா இல் கை வஹைன தன்
ஓ பி பியா இல் கை யஹைன தன்
ஓ ரஷ்யா இல் கை வஹைன தன்
You are in my eyes, in my heart,
And in my breath, my girl.
With my unseen soul,
You are the one who lived.
என் கண்ணோடு நெஞ்சோடு
மூச்சோடும் நீயடி....
கண் காணாத உயிரோடு
வாழ்ந்தாய் நீதானடி.....
நீ நீதான் என்று
நான் அன்றே கண்டேன்
அந்த சந்தோசத்தில்
தூள் தூள் ஆகிறேன் ஓ.....
That you are indeed the one,
I realized on that very day.
In that happiness,
I am shattered into pieces of joy, oh oh...
ஓஒ ஓ ஓஹோ ஹோ
ஓ பி பியா இல் கை யஹைன தன்
ஓ ரஷ்யா இல் கை வஹைன தன்
ஓ பி பியா இல் கை யஹைன தன்
ஓ ரஷ்யா இல் கை வஹைன தன்
You are in my eyes, in my heart,
And in my breath, my girl.
With my unseen soul,
You are the one who lived.
என் கண்ணோடு நெஞ்சோடு
மூச்சோடும் நீயடி....
கண் காணாத உயிரோடு
வாழ்ந்தாய் நீதானடி.....
Why does my heart
Leap and bound,
Crossing the ocean and its waves?
Why does my shadow, like a primitive native,
Wander around forgetting to wear clothes?
ஏன் என் மனம் எம்பி குதித்துதான்
கடலும் மலைகளும் தாண்டுதோ
ஏன் என் நிழல் ஆதிவாசி போல்
ஆடை மறந்துதான் திரியுதோ
I traveled beyond the sky into space,
I am flying because I saw you.
I experienced bliss beyond all limits,
I get goosebumps upon seeing you.
An unbearable delight,
A supreme bliss that keeps me awake,
Hoo hoo ooo oh... hoo oo wow wow
விண்ணைத்தாண்டி வெளியே சென்றேன்
உன்னைப் பார்த்ததால் பறக்கிறேன்
எல்லை மீறி இன்பம் கொண்டேன்
உன்னைக் கண்டத்தில் சிலிர்க்கிறேன்
தங்க முடியாத ஆனந்தம்
தூங்க முடியாத பேரின்பம் ஓ.....
ஓஒ ஓஓஹோ ஹோ வோ
ஓ பி பியா இல் கை யஹைன தன்
ஓ ரஷ்யா இல் கை வஹைன தன்
ஓ பி பியா இல் கை யஹைன தன்
ஓ ரஷ்யா இல் கை வஹைன தன்
You are in my eyes, in my heart,
And in my breath, my girl.
With my unseen soul,
You are the one who lived.
