இறைவனை உணர்கிற தருணம் எது
இங்கே வாழும் நிமிடம் அது
Which is the moment one experiences the divine?
It is this very minute lived right here.
இறைவனை உணர்கிற தருணம் எது
இங்கே வாழும் நிமிடம் அது
இந்த உறவின் பெயரினை யார் சொல்வது
தொலைந்ததை விதி வந்து இணைக்கின்றது
Which is the moment one experiences the divine?
It is this very minute lived right here.
Who can assign a name to this relationship?
Destiny steps in to reunite what was once lost.
முகவரி மாறிய கடிதம் ஒன்று
மறுபடி இங்கே வருகின்றது
மழலை காலம் கண் முன் வந்து
மயிலிறகை அசைகின்றது
A letter with an altered address
Is returning back here once again.
Childhood days appear before the eyes
And gently wave like a soft peacock feather.
தந்தா நானே தானே நானே
தாரே ரீரா...(4)
Thandhaa... naanae thaanae naanae
Tharae... ree. ra...
Iraivanai unargira tharunam yedhu
Which is the moment one experiences the divine?
Ingae vaazhum nimidam adhu
It is this very minute lived right here.
Iraivanai unargira tharunam yedhu
Which is the moment one experiences the divine?
Ingae vaazhum nimidam adhu
It is this very minute lived right here.
Indha uravin peyarinai yaar solvathu
Who can assign a name to this relationship?
Tholainthathai vidhi vandhu inaikkindrathu
Destiny steps in to reunite what was once lost.
Mugavari maariya kaditham ondru
A letter with an altered address
Marubadi ingae varugindrathu
Is returning back here once again.
Mazhalaikkaalam kanmun vandhu
Childhood days appear before the eyes
Mayiliragaayi asaigindrathu
And gently wave like a soft peacock feather.
Thandhaa…nanae thanae nanae
Thandhaa... naanae thaanae naanae
Tharae…ree. ra…..(4)
Tharae... ree. ra...
