என்னை தேடி
தேடி நாட்கள் போனதே
உன்னை பார்த்த பின்னே
தேடல் தீர்ந்ததே
Searching and searching for myself,
Days passed by.
After I saw you,
My search came to an end.
நீ கண்ணை
மூடினால் அது எந்தன்
ராத்திரி உன்னை எண்ண
நெஞ்சிலே ஒரு நொடியும்
வீணடி
If you close your eyes,
That becomes my night.
Without thinking of you in my heart,
Even a single second is a waste, my dear.
அந்த வானம்
தாண்டி வீடு பார்க்கவா
பார்க்கவா
இந்த ஜென்மம்
தாண்டி வாழ்ந்து பார்க்கவா
Crossing beyond that sky,
Shall we find a home?
Female: Shall we find...?
Male: Crossing beyond this life,
Shall we live and see?
உயிரை உறிஞ்சும்
குழலாய் ஓர பார்வை வீசி
போனாய் மறுபடி வருவாய்
என்று நினைத்து காத்து
கிடந்தேன் என்ன ஆனாய்
Like a flute that drains one's life,
You cast a side glance and left.
Thinking that you would come back again,
I kept waiting; what became of you?
மயக்கத்தில் நான்
இருந்தேன் மனம் எனும்
தாள் திறந்தேன்
I was in a state of trance,
I unlocked the latch called my heart.
உன்னை தீண்டும்
போது தீயில் வேகிறேன்
இந்த காதல் நோயில்
நானும் சாகிறேன்
When I touch you,
I burn in fire.
In this sickness called love,
I am dying as well.
என்னை தேடி
தேடி நாட்கள் போனதே
Searching and searching for myself,
Days passed by.
..........................
Ooooo woahhhaaaa….
Woahaaa oo oo …
ஆஆ ஆஆஆ
கனவில் நொழைந்த
உன்னை கண்ணை
மூடி பூட்டி கொள்வேன்
புழுக்கத்தில் நீயும் புரண்டு
படுத்தால் விசிறியாக மாறி
கொள்வேன்
Aaa…aaaa…..
When you entered my dream,
I will close my eyes and lock you in.
If you toss and turn,
In the sweltering warmth,
I will transform into a hand fan.
தலையணை
வேண்டும் என்பேன்
மடியினில் சாய்ந்து
கொள்வேன்
இதழ் முத்தம்
என்ற மெத்தை போடவா
நீ விழி தூங்கும் போது
காவல் காக்கவா
I will claim I need a pillow,
And lean gently on your lap.
Female: Shall I lay a bed,
Made of lip kisses?
When your eyes fall asleep,
Shall I keep watch over you?
என்னை தேடி
தேடி நாட்கள் போனதே
உன்னை பார்த்த பின்னே
தேடல் தீர்ந்ததே
Searching and searching for myself,
Days passed by.
After I saw you,
My search came to an end.
நீ கண்ணை
மூடினால் அது எந்தன்
ராத்திரி உன்னை எண்ண
நெஞ்சிலே ஒரு நொடியும்
வீணடா
If you close your eyes,
That becomes my night.
Without thinking of you in my heart,
Even a single second is a waste, my dear.
அந்த வானம்
தாண்டி வீடு பார்க்கவா
இந்த ஜென்மம் தாண்டி
வாழ்ந்து பார்க்கவா
Crossing beyond that sky,
Shall we find a home?
Crossing beyond this life,
Shall we live and see?
