இருக்கும் இடம் அறிந்தும்
திரும்ப கேட்க மனம் இல்லையே
Even knowing where it is,
I do not have the heart to ask for it back.
அடி உன்னால்தானே எந்தன் வாழ்வின்
பொருளும் வழங்கியதே
நாம் முன் ஒரு ஜென்மம் சேர்ந்தே வாழ்ந்தா
ஞாபகம் வருகிறதே
Oh dear, only because of you
Has the meaning of my life become clear.
The memory of us living together in a previous birth
Comes back to me now.
ஒரு பெண்ணாய் நானும் பிறந்தேன்
பிறந்த காரணம் தெரிகிறதே
நான் உனக்கே என்றும் துணையாய் வாழும்
வரணும் அமைகிறதே

எல்லாம் செய்வேனே
Seeking solitude, anew,
I will create a world for you.
Amenities for just the two of us to live,
I will arrange them all.
உள்ளங்கையின் இடமே போதும்
தலை நான் சாய்ப்பேனே
உன் மார்பில் சாயும் சுகமே போதும்
வேர் ஏதும் வேண்டாமே
Just the space of your palm is enough
For me to rest my head.
The bliss of leaning against your chest is enough,
I do not need anything else.
உயிரே நீயும் உடுத்தும் ஆடையின்
நூல் என ஆவேனே
உயிரே.....ஏ.....ஏ.....ஏ...
உயிரே யும் உடுத்தும் ஆடையின்
நூல் என ஆவேனே
My life, in the clothes you wear,
I will become like a thread.
Oh my life...
My life, in the clothes you wear,
I will become like a thread.
உடைகள் என்னும் தைகள் எதற்கு
உனை நான் அணிவேனே
Why these obstacles called clothes?
I will wear you instead.
கெடைக்காத பொருளாக
நீதான் கெடைத்தாயே
Like an unattainable treasure,
You are what I have gained.
உள்ளத்திலே சிறை வைத்து
சாவியை தொலைத்தாயே
Imprisoning me inside your heart,
You have lost the key.
