இதயம் துடிக்கிறதே தாளம் கிடைக்கிறதே
பாடல் பிறக்கிறதே பாசம் மலர்கிறதே....
இதயம் துடிக்கிறதே தாளம் கிடைக்கிறதே
பாடல் பிறக்கிறதே பாசம் மலர்கிறதே....
The heart is beating, finding its rhythm
A song is born, affection blossoms
The heart is beating, finding its rhythm
A song is born, affection blossoms
இதயம் துடிக்கிறதே தாளம் கிடைக்கிறதே
பாடல் பிறக்கிறதே பாசம் மலர்கிறதே....
The heart is beating, finding its rhythm
A song is born, affection blossoms
காதல் கடலில் நான்தானே
ஊமை தீவாய் ஆனேனே
நாளும் உன்னை மட்டும் எண்ணி கொண்டே
உயிர் வாழ்கிறேன்
In this ocean of love, I myself
Have become a silent island
Thinking only of you every single day
I sustain my life
இதயம் துடிக்கிறதே தாளம் கிடைக்கிறதே
பாடல் பிறக்கிறதே பாசம் மலர்கிறதே....
The heart is beating, finding its rhythm
A song is born, affection blossoms
நிலவோடு இங்கே விளையாட வந்தேன்
பிறை போதும் என்றே உறவாடுகின்றேன்
I came here to play with the full moon
Yet I mingle, content with just a crescent moon
எனக்கான மேகம் இங்கே திசை மாறுதே
இமை மீறும் கண்ணீர் என்னை விலை பேசுதே
The cloud destined for me changes its direction here
Tears overflowing my eyelids bargain for my soul
அணை போட்டும் நெஞ்சில்
அலை வீசக் கண்டேன்
தரை மீது மீனைப் போலே
தடுமாறினேன்
In my heart that tried to build a dam
I saw ocean waves breaking through
Female: Like a fish thrown onto dry land
I stumbled and lost my footing
சின்னக் குயிலை தாலாட்டும்
நெஞ்சில் மௌன போராட்டம்
நானோ உள்ளங்கையில் தண்ணீர் கேட்டு
உன்னைப் பார்க்கிறேன்
While singing a lullaby to the little cuckoo
A silent struggle rages within my heart
Female: Yet asking for just a handful of water in my palm
I gaze upon you
இதயம் துடிக்கிறதே தாளம் கிடைக்கிறதே
பாடல் பிறக்கிறதே பாசம் மலர்கிறதே....
The heart is beating, finding its rhythm
A song is born, affection blossoms

குழந்தை :
ஊரெங்கும் தெய்வம்
சிலையாக கண்டேன்
எனக்கான தெய்வம் நடமாட கண்டேன்
The cuckoo's song comes
To bathe me in melody
A bond that came asking for shadow now rescues my soul
குயில் பாட்டு என்னை
வந்து குளிப்பாட்டுதே.....
நிழல் கேட்டு வந்த சொந்தம் உயிர் மீட்குதே
The heart is beating, finding its rhythm
A song is born, affection blossoms
குழந்தை :
உயிரோடு இங்கே
உனை சூடிக்கொண்டேன்
In this ocean of love, I myself
Have become a silent island
Thinking only of you every single day
I sustain my life

உனை ஏற்றினேன்

Despite feelings of isolation and overwhelming emotional struggles, tender affection and familial warmth revive the protagonist's spirit and bring rhythm back to their life.
