இதயம் முழுதும் உனது உருவம்
வரைந்தேன் மனக் கோயிலில்
நினைவுகளால் வணங்குகிறேன்
Your image fills my entire heart
I drew it in the temple of my mind
I worship you through my memories
இதயம் முழுதும் உனது உருவம்
வரைந்தேன் மனக் கோயிலில்
நினைவுகளால் வணங்குகிறேன்
அழகிய திருமுகம் ஒரு முகம்
உனது வடிவமே இதோ....
Your image fills my entire heart
I drew it in the temple of my mind
I worship you through my memories
A beautiful face, a singular countenance
Here is your very form

வரைந்தேன் மனக் கோயிலில்
நினைவுகளால் வணங்குகிறேன்....
You alone are my relationship across all births
You are the rhythm in my music
A bond in life that flourishes through love
Blending into my soul, seeking the song I sing
நிலாவிலே தவழும் மேகம் அதை போலே
உலாவிடும் எனது ஆசை அதன் மேலே
துணை உனை அடைந்திட நான் பூஜை செய்தேன்
கலைமகள் நலம் பெற நீ வாழ்வு தந்தாய்
Your image fills my entire heart
I drew it in the temple of my mind
I worship you through my memories
நான்தானே உந்தன் வாழ்வானேன்
விழியே விழியின் ஒளியே
அணைத்திடும் ஒரு மரணமும் என்னை
பிரித்திட இனி முடியுமோ
மறுபிறப்பிலும் உனை நான்
தொடர்ந்து வருவேன் இசையாகும் நீயே
Like the cloud crawling across the moon
My desire soars high above it as we bond
I performed prayers to gain you as my companion
You gave life so that Goddess Saraswati would flourish
இதயம் முழுதும் உனது உருவம்
வரைந்தேன் மனக் கோயிலில்
நினைவுகளால் வணங்குகிறேன்
I indeed became your life
Oh eyes, oh light of my eyes
Even an approaching death
Can it ever separate me from you now?
Even in my next birth
I will continue to follow you, you who are music itself
அதோ வரும் அலைகள் சேரும் கடல் சாட்சி
அலைக் கடல் தழுவும் வானம் ஒரு சாட்சி
இலை தொடும் தடையிலா காற்றாக மாறி
நினைவெல்லாம் உனை தொட நான் வாழ வேண்டும்
Your image fills my entire heart
I drew it in the temple of my mind
I worship you through my memories
பூமாலை கொண்ட பூஞ்சோலை
பெறவே தருவாய் வரமே
சரித்திரம் அது மறைந்திடும் ஒரு
நெருப்பிலும் மலர் மலர்ந்திடும்
வரும் கனவிலும் உனை நான்
மறவேன் விடிகாலை நீயே...
Look there, the sea where arriving waves gather is a witness
