இணையே என்
உயிர் துணையே உன்
இமை திறந்தால் நான்
உறைவது ஏனடி அழகே
என் முழு உலகம் உன்
விழிகளிலே கண்
உறங்குது பாரடி
Oh soulmate, my life companion,
When your eyelids open,
Why do I freeze, my dear?
Oh beauty, my entire world
In your eyes,
Look, it sleeps peacefully, my dear.
அருகே நீ இருந்தால்
என் கைப்பேசி வாய் மூடுமே
தலை சாய்த்து நீ சிரித்தாயெனில்
என் தண்ணீரில் தேன் கூடுமே
If you are nearby,
My mobile phone goes silent.
If you tilt your head and smile,
Honey adds itself to my tea.
இணையே என்
உயிர் துணையே உன்
இனிமையிலே நான்
கரைவது ஏனடா யுகமாய்
கை விரல் பிடித்து நாம்
நடப்பது போல் நான்
உணர்வது ஏனடா
இணையே
Oh soulmate, my life companion,
In your sweetness,
Why do I dissolve, my dear?
Holding fingers for eons,
As if we are walking,
Why do I feel so, my dear?
Oh soulmate...
மையல் காதலாய்
மாறிய புள்ளி என்றோ
மனம் கேட்குதே
காதல் காமமாய்
உருகொண்ட தருணம்
நினைக்கையில் உயிர்
வேர்க்குதே
The exact moment infatuation turned into love,
My heart wonders when that was...
Female: The moment love took form
As passion,
My soul breaks into a sweat when I remember it...
உடல் மேல்
பூக்கும் நீரோடு நீராட்டியே
சில நாள் என்னை சுத்தம்
செய்தாய்
எந்தன் சேவைகள்
எல்லாமே பாராட்டியே
எந்தன் ஆடைகள் மீண்டும்
தந்தாய்
Blooming over the body,
Bathing me with droplets,
You cleansed me for a few days.
Female: Appreciating all
My tender services,
You handed back my clothes again.
இணையே என்
உயிர் துணையே உன்
இனிமையிலே நான்
கரைவது ஏனடி
Oh soulmate, my life companion,
In your sweetness,
Why do I dissolve, my dear?
யுகமாய் கை
விரல் பிடித்து நாம்
நடப்பது போல் நான்
உணர்வது ஏனடா
Holding fingers for eons,
As if we are walking,
Why do I feel so, my dear?
அருகே நீ இருந்தால்
என் கைப்பேசி வாய் மூடுமே
தலை சாய்த்து நீ சிரித்தாயெனில்
என் தண்ணீரில் தேன் கூடுமே
