இதய வானின் உதய நிலவே
எங்கே போகிறாய்
நீ எங்கே போகிறாய்
ஒளி இல்லாத உலகம் போல
உள்ளம் இருளுதே
என் உள்ளம் இருளுதே
Oh rising moon in the sky of my heart
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Like a world devoid of light
My heart turns dark
My heart turns dark
கண்கள் செய்த பாவம் உன்னை
கண்டும் காணாதேங்குதே
கண்டும் காணாதேங்குதே
பாய் விரித்து கப்பல் செல்ல
பாவி நெஞ்சம் துடிக்குதே
பாவி நெஞ்சம் துடிக்குதே
Because of the sin committed by my eyes
They long for you even while seeing you

இருளகற்றும் ஒளி என்றெண்ணி
எண்ணும் நீ யாரோ
எண்ணும் நீ யாரோ
கண்டும் காணாதேங்கும் கண்கள்
காதல் கண்களோ
காதல் கண்களோ
Believing you to be the light that dispels darkness
Who do you still wonder I am?
Who do you still wonder I am?
Are these eyes that see yet yearn for more
Eyes of love?
Eyes of love?
இதய வானின் உதய நிலவே
எங்கே போகிறேன்
நான் எங்கே போகிறேன்
Oh rising moon in the sky of my heart
Where am I going, where am I going?
ஆசை மிஞ்சி நேசக் கரங்கள்
அணைக்க உன்னை நீளுதே
அணைக்க உன்னை நீளுதே
பறந்து வந்து உன்னை தழுவ
பறந்து வந்து உன்னை தழுவ
பாழும் சிறகு இல்லையே
பாழும் சிறகு இல்லையே
Overwhelmed by desire, affectionate hands
Reach out to embrace you
Reach out to embrace you
To fly across and embrace you
To fly across and embrace you
Alas, there are no wings to fly
Alas, there are no wings to fly
இதய வானின் உதய நிலவே
