என்னை விட்டு
ஓடிப்போக முடியுமா இனி முடியுமா
நாம் இருவர் அல்ல ஒருவர்
இனி தெரியுமா...ஆஅ....ஆஅ....தெரியுமா
Can you run away from me?
Is it possible anymore?
We are not two people, but one.
Do you know that now? Ah... do you know?
என்னை விட்டு
ஓடிப்போக முடியுமா இனி முடியுமா
நாம் இருவர் அல்ல ஒருவர்
இனி தெரியுமா...ஆஅ....ஆஅ....தெரியுமா
Can you run away from me?
Is it possible anymore?
We are not two people, but one.
Do you know that now? Ah... do you know?
கண்ணுக்குள்ளே புகுந்து
கதைகள் சொன்ன பின்னே
எண்ணத்திலே நிறைந்து
அதில் இடம் பிடித்த பின்னே
எந்தன் அன்னை தந்தை
சம்மதித்த பின்னே
அன்பின் தன்மையை
அறிந்து கொண்ட பின்னே
ஹோ........ஓ......ஓ......
After entering inside my eyes
And telling sweet stories
After filling up my thoughts
And taking a place right there
After my mother and father
Gave their consent
After my mother and father
Gave their consent
After understanding the true nature of love
Hoo ooo oo oo ooo
உன்னை விட்டு
ஓடிப்போக முடியுமா இனி முடியுமா
என் உள்ளம் காணும் கனவு
என்ன தெரியுமா...ஆஅ....ஆஅ....தெரியுமா
Can I run away from you?
Is it possible anymore?
The dream that my heart sees
Do you know what it is? Ah... do you know?
அன்னம் போல நடை நடந்து வந்து
என் அருகமர்ந்து நாணத்தோடு குனிந்து
அன்னம் போல நடை நடந்து வந்து
என் அருகமர்ந்து நாணத்தோடு குனிந்து
கன்னம் சிவக்க நீ இருக்க
மஞ்சக் கயிரு எடுத்தது
கழுத்தில் முடிக்கும்
இன்ப நாள் தெரியும்போது
ஆ.......ஆ........ஆ.......ஆ.....ஆ......
Walking gracefully like a swan
Sitting beside me, bowing with shyness
Walking gracefully like a swan
Sitting beside me, bowing with shyness
As you sit there with blushing cheeks
Taking the sacred yellow thread
When the joyful day arrives to tie it around the neck
Aa… aa… aaa…aa…..aaa
என்னை விட்டு
ஓடி போக முடியுமா இனி முடியுமா
நாம் இருவரல்ல ஒருவர்
இனி தெரியுமா தெரியுமா
Can you run away from me?
Is it possible anymore?
We are not two people, but one.
Do you know that now? Ah... do you know?
மணமாலை சூட்டி பலபேரும் பார்க்க
வளையாடும் என் கையின் விரலில்
கணையாழி பூட்டி
புது பாதை காட்டி
உறவாடும் திரு நாளின் இரவில்
Adorned with flower garlands
Blessed by many people
On the finger of my hand wearing bangles
Slipping the wedding ring
Showing a new path in life
On the night of that auspicious day of union
இளந்தென்றல் காற்றும்
வளர் காதல் பாட்டும்
விளையாடும் அழகான அறையில்
சுவையூறும் பாலும்
கனிச்சாறும் கொண்டு
தனியே நீ வருகின்ற நிலையில்
Where the gentle breeze blows
And songs of growing love play
In a beautiful room filled with joy
With delicious milk
And sweet fruit juice
When you come alone to me
ஆஹா ம்ம்ம்ம்.....ம்ம்ம்.....
ஹா......ஆஅ.....ஆஅ.....
Hoo ooo oo oo ooo
ஹோ ஓஒ ஓ ஓ ஓஓ
Can I run away from you?
Is it possible anymore?
The dream that my heart sees
Do you know what it is? Ah... do you know?
உன்னை விட்டு
ஓடி போக முடியுமா இனி முடியுமா
என் உள்ளம் காணும் கனவு என்ன
தெரியுமா ஆஅ......ஆஅ.....தெரியுமா
Can I run away from you?
Is it possible anymore?
The dream that my heart sees
Do you know what it is? Ah... do you know?
உன்னை விட்டு
ஓடி போக முடியுமா இனி முடியுமா
என் உள்ளம் காணும் கனவு என்ன
