உந்தன் பாடல் கேட்க்கும் வரை
இருளினில் இருந்ததும்
காதலின் தீபம் என்று எனக்கு நீ பிறந்ததும்
Until I heard your song
I was living in darkness
As the light of love
You were born for me
ஒரு இரு முறை என்றால்உரைத்திருப்பேன்
நன்றி சொல்லி முழு நாவும் கரைத்திருப்பேன்
வானமே வானமே எங்கும் உன் காணமே
If it were just once or twice, I would have spoken of it
In expressing my gratitude, my entire tongue would have melted away
Oh sky, oh sky, your music is everywhere
என் வண்ணம் வெவ்வேறு நீயே ஒளி
ராகங்கள் வெவ்வேறு நீயே மொழி
சாலைகள் வெவ்வேறு நீயே வழி
என்றென்றும் என் மீது இன்பங்கள் பொழி
My colors may differ, but you are the light
Ragas may differ, but you are the language
Paths may differ, but you are the way
Shower joy upon me forever
ஹ்ம் ரத்தம் போல பாயும் உந்தன்
ரபபப பபபப்பா
முத்தம் போல காயும் உந்தன்
ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம் ஹ்ம்ம்
Hmmm, flowing like blood, your...
[Scatting/Vocalizing]
Soothing like a kiss, your...
[Humming]
சிகரத்தில் உனை போலே உனையும் இல்லை
உலகத்தில் உனக்கிங்கே இணையும் இல்லை
வானமே வானமே எங்கும் உன் காணமே
At the peak, there is no one like you
In this world, there is no equal to you
Oh sky, oh sky, your music is everywhere
என் வண்ணம் வெவ்வேறு நீயே ஒளி
ராகங்கள் வெவ்வேறு நீயே மொழி
சாலைகள் வெவ்வேறு நீயே வழி
என்றென்றும் என் மீது இன்பங்கள் பொழி
My sky may differ, but you are the light
Ragas may differ, but you are the language
Paths may differ, but you are the way
Shower joy upon me forever
ஆயிரம் நூறாயிரம் உன் வெண்ணிலா
வானமே உன் பாலொளி இம்மண்ணிலா
உன்னாலே ஒன்றான லட்சம் கிளி
நெஞ்சத்தில் என்றென்றும் நீயே ஒளி
விண்மீன்கள் ஒவ்வொன்றும் உன் காதலி
கண்ணா உன் குரலுக்கு கவிதாஞ்சலி
ஆயிரம் நூறாயிரம் உன் வெண்ணிலா
வானமே உன் பாலொளி இம்மண்ணிலா
