வருவாயா
வெண்ணிலா என்னோடு
நீ வாராமல் நிற்பதேன்
தள்ளியே தருவாயா
நெஞ்சமே தன்னால நீ
தாராமல் கொல்வதேன்
என்னையே
Will you come with me, O bright moon?
Why do you stand at a distance without coming?
Will you give your heart to me on your own?
Why do you torment me by holding it back?
சிரிப்பினில்
வதைப்பதும் சினுங்கலில்
துவைப்பதும் தவிப்பினை
கொடுப்பதும் ஏனோ
Torturing me with your sweet smile,
Drenching me in your gentle pouts,
Why do you inflict this yearning upon me?
இரவினில் உலவவா
கனவுகள் மலரவா விடியலை
உணரவா நீ நீ நீ விவரமும்
உலரவா இடைவெளி குறைய
வா எதனையும் பகிரவா
உறவினை தொடரவா
என் வானே
Come to wander together in the night,
Come to let our dreams bloom,
Come to feel the arrival of dawn,
You... you... you...
Come to spill out all secrets,
Come to bridge the distance between us,
Come to share everything,
Come to continue this relationship,
O my sky...
வருவேன் நானே
என்று இருந்திடலாமா
உதடுகள் கேட்டால்
தருபவள் நானே
I will come myself,
Can one just stay back saying so?
If lips ask for love,
I am the one who will give it,
பிறை நான்
தூரம் என்று ஒதுக்கிடலாமா
இமைகளும் பேசாமல்
இருப்பதும் வீண் தானே
Thinking I am just a distant crescent,
Can I be brushed aside?
Without even the eyelashes speaking,
Is remaining silent completely futile?
நிலம் நீயானால்
நிழல் நானாவேன்
மழை நீயானால் வயல்
போல ஆவேன் வயல்
போல ஆவேன்
If you become the land,
I will become the shadow,
If you become the rain,
I will become like the field,
I will become like the field.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This tender romantic track expresses the deep yearning and mutual devotion between two lovers. The speaker addresses their beloved as a moon and the sky, pleading for closeness, shared moments in the night, and the bridging of physical and emotional distance. The lyrics capture the bittersweet agony of love—how subtle smiles and playful pouts torment the heart, yet bring an undeniable craving for intimacy. In response, the beloved reassures that love will be freely given and that distance cannot erase their connection. Through poetic analogies of land and shadow, rain and field, the song emphasizes how effortlessly they complete each other, depicting love as a natural, nurturing bond that blossoms through patience and emotional exchange.
