என் நெஞ்சம் உன்னோடு

My heart is with you, your heart is with me.
நான் உன் மார்பினில் ஆட
நீ என் தோளினில் ஆட
பூங்காற்று கீதம் பாட
திருநாளைக் கண்டேனே கொண்டாடும் மனம்
தினம் பூஜை செய்வேனே வந்தாடும் சுகம்
அழைத்தேனே எந்நாளும் துணை நீ தானே
As I sway against your chest and you sway upon my shoulders,
As the gentle breeze sings a sweet song,
I witnessed a festive day, my mind celebrates.
Every day I shall worship, welcoming this fluttering joy.

மோகம் பார்வை மீனோ
மோதும் ஆசைகள் தானோ
என் வாழ்வில் தீபம் ஏற்றி
தினம் நானே சொல்வேனே பொன் ஆடும் சுகம்
இதழ் தேனைச் சிந்தாமல் முத்தாடும் சுகம்
விருந்தாவேன் எந்நாளும் துணை நீ தானே
Is this passionate glance like a fish, or clashing desires?
Lighting a lamp of hope in my life,
Every day I shall speak of this golden, dancing bliss.
The joy of kissing without spilling the honey from the lips.
I will become a feast for you; you alone are my lifelong companion.
