விழிகளில் விழுந்தது உனதுருவம்
இது கனவா
நிஜமென தெரிந்தும் மனததுவும்
மறுக்கிறதா
Your image fell into my eyes
Is this a dream?
Even knowing it is the truth, does the heart...
Refuse to accept it?
இவள் கை விரல்களை பிடித்திடவே
மனம் தயங்கியதா
இவளது கண் விழி அசைவினிலே
உயிர் தொலைந்திடுமா
To hold the fingers of her hand
Does the heart hesitate?
In the movement of her eyes
Will my life get lost?
ஏன் இங்கு வந்தாய் பெண்ணே
உன் அழகிய நிமிடங்கள் கொல்கிறதே
பதினொரு வசந்தங்கள் கழித்து
பறவையாய் என்னுள் அமர்வது ஏன்
Why did you come here, girl?
Your beautiful moments are killing me
After eleven spring seasons have passed
Why do you sit inside me like a bird?
வலியால் இனி தவிப்பேனோ
இவளால் இனி சிரிப்பேனோ
நின்ற என் இதயம் துடிக்குதடி
துடிக்குதடி.....
Will I writhe in pain hereafter?
Will I smile because of her hereafter?
My heart that stood still refuses to beat, girl
Refuses to beat...
இவளா இவளா
என்னை தொட்டு சென்றவள்
மலர் மேல் பனியாய்
நான் விழுந்தேன் இவள் பார்வையில்
Is it her? Is it her?
The one who touched me and went away
Like dew upon a flower
I fell into her gaze
.....................................
...
இன்பமே இன்பமே
ஏன் நிஜமாய் வந்தாய்
பிம்பமே பிம்பமே
ஏன் நிழலாய் போனாய்
Oh bliss, oh bliss
Why did you come as reality?
Oh reflection, oh reflection
Why did you turn into a shadow?
தீயென தீயென
நான் தெரிந்தே வந்தேன்
நீரென நீயடி
என்னை குளிர செய்தாய்
Like fire, like fire
I wandered around
Like water, you girl
Made me cool down
காலம் காற்றோடு கலந்தது ஏன்
நானா இங்கின்று கைதி
காதல் அன்றொரு முடியவில்லை
சொல்கிறேன் உனக்கொரு செய்தியடி
Why did time blend into the wind?
Am I a prisoner here today?
Love did not end on that day
I am telling you a piece of news, girl
இன்று மண்ணோடு வீழ்வேனோ
வாழ்க்கை உன்னோடு வேண்டும்
நீ வா அந்நாட்கள்
மீண்டும் வேண்டும் நீயே வேண்டும்
Will I fall into the dirt today?
I want a life with you
You come, those days
I want them back, I want only you
இவளா இவளா
என்னை விட்டு சென்றவள்
வழியை தந்தாள்
நான் உடைந்தேன் உன்னால் இன்று
Is it her? Is it her?
The one who left me and went away
She gave me pain
I broke today because of you
ஒரு நாள் போதும்
உன்னோடு வாழ தோணுதே
நிழலாய் இல்லை
சிறு நிஜமாய் நீ சேரடி
One day is enough
I feel like living with you
Not as a shadow
Join me as a small reality, girl
இவளால் இனி சிரிப்பேனோ
நின்ற என் இதயம் துடிக்குதடி
Will I smile because of her hereafter?
My heart that stood still refuses to beat, girl
Vizhigalil vizhunthathu unathuruvam
Your image fell into my eyes
Ithu kanava
Is this a dream?
Nijamena therinthum manathathuvum
Even knowing it is the truth, does the heart...
Marukiratha
Refuse to accept it?
Ival kai viralgalai pidithidavae
To hold the fingers of her hand
Manam thayangiyatha
Does the heart hesitate?
Ivalathu kan vizhi asaivinilae
In the movement of her eyes
Uyir tholainthiduma
Will my life get lost?
Yen ingu vanthaai penne
Why did you come here, girl?
Un azhagiya nimidangal kolgirathae
Your beautiful moments are killing me
Pathinoru vasathangal kalithu
After eleven spring seasons have passed
Paravayaai ennul amarvathu yen
Why do you sit inside me like a bird?
Vazhiyaal ini thavipeno
Will I writhe in pain hereafter?
Ivalaal ini siripeno
Will I smile because of her hereafter?
Nindrae en idhayam thudikkathadi
My heart that stood still refuses to beat, girl
Thudikkathadi…
Refuses to beat...
Ivalaa ivalaa
Is it her? Is it her?
Ennai thottu sendraval
The one who touched me and went away
Malar mel paniyaai
Like dew upon a flower
Naan vizhunthen ival paarvaiyil
I fell into her gaze
……………………
...
Inbamae inbamae
Oh bliss, oh bliss
Yen nijamaai vanthaai
Why did you come as reality?
Bimbamae bimbamae
Oh reflection, oh reflection
Yen nizhalaai ponaai
Why did you turn into a shadow?
Theeyena theeyena
Like fire, like fire
Naan thirinthae vanthen
I wandered around
Neerena neeyadi
Like water, you girl
Enai kulira seithaai
Made me cool down
Kaalam kaatrodu kalanthathu yen
Why did time blend into the wind?
Naana ingindru kaithi
Am I a prisoner here today?
Kaadhal androdu mudiyavillai
Love did not end on that day
Solgiren unakkoru seithiyadi
I am telling you a piece of news, girl
Indru mannodu veezhveno
Will I fall into the dirt today?
Vaazhkai unnodu vendum
I want a life with you
Nee vaa ann naatkal
You come, those days
Meendum vendum neeyae vendum
I want them back, I want only you
Ivalaa ivalaa
Is it her? Is it her?
Ennai vittu sendraval
The one who left me and went away
Vazhiyai thanthaal
She gave me pain
Naan udainthen unnal indru
I broke today because of you
Oru naal pothum
One day is enough
Unnodu vaazha thonuthae
I feel like living with you
Nizhalaai illai
Not as a shadow
Siru nijaamai nee seradi
Join me as a small reality, girl
Ivalaal ini sirippeno
Will I smile because of her hereafter?
Nindra en idhayam thudikkathadi
My heart that stood still refuses to beat, girl
