என் மேல் விழுந்த மழையே
நொடியில் கலைந்த கனவே
கண்களின் காட்சி பிழையே
நீயும் நிழலும் தான் துணையே
O rain that fell upon me
O dream that dissolved in a second
O visual illusion of the eyes
Only you and your shadow are my companions
கை கோர்த்து வாழ்ந்த நாட்களே
என் ஈரல் காற்றை ஈர்க்குதே
உன் நினைவை உணவாய் உண்டு
வாழ்வது சுகமே
Those days when we lived holding hands
Attracts my moist breeze
Consuming your memory as my food
Living is sweet pleasure
என் மேல் விழுந்த மழையே
நொடியில் கலைந்த கனவே
கண்களின் காட்சி பிழையே
நீயும் நிழலும் தான் துணையே
O rain that fell upon me
O dream that dissolved in a second
O visual illusion of the eyes
Only you and your shadow are my companions
ஹா ..ஆஆ...
மென் விரல் பட விலகிடும்
கவலைகள் இதோ
உன் நினைவுகள்
தலையை கோதுதே
உன் ஆடையின் தனியொரு
வாசனை இதோ
ஓர் மலரென அமர்ந்து பேசுதே
Haaaa..aaaa…aaa…
Behold, worries vanish when soft fingers touch
Your memories caress my hair lovingly
Behold, the unique fragrance of your attire
Sits and talks like a flower
தேனீரின் வெற்று கோப்பை
உன் கைகள் பற்ற கேட்கும்
நீ சொன்ன வார்த்தை மட்டும்
என் நாட்கள் வாழ்ந்து பார்க்கும்
உன் பேரை உச்சரித்தால் ஆயுள் கூடுதே
நீ மட்டும் போதும் அன்பே மீண்டும் வந்திடு
An empty tea cup
Asks to be held by your hands
Only the words you spoke
Will live to see my days through
If I pronounce your name
My lifespan increases
You alone are enough, my love
Come back to me again
என் மேல் விழுந்த மழையே
நொடியில் கலைந்த கனவே
கண்களின் காட்சி பிழையே
நீயும் நிழலும் தான் துணையே
O rain that fell upon me
O dream that dissolved in a second
O visual illusion of the eyes
Only you and your shadow are my companions
கை கோர்த்து வாழ்ந்த நாட்களே
என் ஈரல் காற்றை ஈர்க்குதே
உன் நினைவை உணவாய் உண்டு
வாழ்வது சுகமே
Those days when we lived holding hands
Attracts my moist breeze
Consuming your memory as my food
Living is sweet pleasure
என் மேல் விழுந்த மழையே
நொடியில் கலைந்த கனவே
கண்களின் காட்சி பிழையே
நீயும் நிழலும் தான் துணையே
O rain that fell upon me
O dream that dissolved in a second
O visual illusion of the eyes
Only you and your shadow are my companions
En mel vizhundha mazhaiyae

Nodiyil kalaintha kanavae
O dream that dissolved in a second
Kangalin kaatchi pizhaiyae

Only you and your shadow are my companions
Kai korthu vaazhntha naatkalae
Those days when we lived holding hands
En eeral kaatrai eerkkuthae
Attracts my moist breeze
Un ninaivai unavaai undu
Consuming your memory as my food
Vaazhvathu sugamae
