ஹேய் நிஜமே....
கலையாதே.....
கனவு நீ அல்ல....
பிரிந்திட வழி ஆயிரம்
முயலாதே.....
நெருங்கிட வழி ஒன்றை
நான் சொல்கிறேன்
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் பக்கம் வந்தால்
நான் சொல்கிறேன்....வா....அருகே....
Hey reality...
Do not fade away...
You are not a dream...
There are a thousand ways to separate,
Do not attempt them...
One way to come closer,
I shall tell you.
If you come a little closer,
I shall tell you... come... near...
சுழலாதிரு உலகே.....
மீனிக்கழுனர்வொன்றிலே வசிக்கின்றேன்
முடிக்கா முத்தங்களின்
மிச்சங்களில் வாழ.....
Oh world, stop spinning...
I live in a surreal feeling,
In the remnants,
Of unfinished kisses...
சுற்றாதிரு சற்றே...ஏ....
காதல் நொடி நீள.....
பிரிவெல்லாமே
இது போல் மாறாதா.....
Stop revolving for just a moment...
So this moment of love elongates...
May all separations...
Transform like this...
பெண் மற்றும் குழு :
தேயாத பூம்பாதை ஒன்றோடு நான்
ஓயாத காற்றாக என்னோடு நீ
நிற்காத பாட்டாக உன் காதில் நான்
வீழாத உற்சாக ஊற்றாக நீ
பெண் மற்றும் குழு :
மாறாத இன்பத்து பாலாக நான்
தீராத தீக்காமம் ஒன்றாக நீ
தூங்காத உன் கண்ணின் கனவாக நான்
தூரத்தில் இருந்தாலும் பிரியாத நீ
பெண் மற்றும் குழு :
வாசத்தின் வாசலில் தோரணம் நான்
வார்த்தைகள் தித்திக்கும் காரணம் நீ
யாசித்து நீ கேட்ட இரவாக நான்
யாருக்கும் தெரியாத உறவாக நீ
Hey nijamae…
Hey reality...
Kalaiyadhae…
Do not fade away...
Kanavu nee alla…
You are not a dream...
Pirindhida vazhi aayiram
There are a thousand ways to separate,
Muyaladhae…
Do not attempt them...
Nerungida vazhi ondrai
One way to come closer,
Naan solgiren
I shall tell you.
Innum konjam pakkam vandhaal
If you come a little closer,
Naan solgiren….vaa…aruge…
I shall tell you... come... near...
Suzhaladhiru ulagae…
Oh world, stop spinning...
Meenigazhunarvondrilae vasikindren
I live in a surreal feeling,

Michangalil vaazha…
Of unfinished kisses...
Suttraadhiru sattrae…

Song interpretation
This soulful track captures an intimate, tender moment of romantic vulnerability and deep affection. The protagonist addresses the beloved as their living reality—not a mere dream—begging this blissful truth not to fade away. Acknowledging that while a thousand reasons exist for lovers to drift apart, the narrator offers a gentle path to closeness, inviting the beloved nearer.
