ஏதோ சொல்ல தோன்றுதே உன்னோடு
ஏழு வண்ண வானவில் கண்ணோடு
எதிரிலே நீ வர இன்பமே கூடுதே
இதயத்தின் வாசலில் தென்றலாய் வீசுதே
இதே நேசம் இதே வாசம் என்றும் வேண்டுமே
I feel like saying something to you
With eyes holding a seven-colored rainbow
As you walk towards me, my happiness multiplies
A gentle breeze blows at the doorway of my heart
I want this same love and this same fragrance forever
ஜீவன் நீயே..ஜீவன் நீயே
ஏங்கிடும் எந்தன் நெஞ்சமோ
You are my life.. You are my life
My longing heart asks...
You are my life.. You are my life
Is my soul taking refuge in you?
ஜீவன் நீயே..ஜீவன் நீயே
என் உயிர் உந்தன் தஞ்சமோ
I feel like saying something to you
With eyes holding a seven-colored rainbow
ஏதோ சொல்ல தோன்றுதே உன்னோடு
ஏழு வண்ண வானவில் கண்ணோடு
If a male flower exists, it is truly you
The moments you smiled are like raindrops
Which god's boon is it
That you joined with me?
Was I created in this world
Just to fall in love and melt away?
ஆண் மலரென்றால் நீதானடா
நீ சிரித்த நொடிகளே மழை தானடி
எந்த கடவுள் தந்த வரமோ
நீ என்னை சேர்ந்தது
என்னை இந்த உலகில் படைத்ததே
காதலில் விழுந்து உருகவா
I am a small mirror, you are my reflection
I will hold you and live every day
Oh sky, upon you
I will lean as a white cloud
சிறு கண்ணாடி நான் உன் பிம்பமே
எந்நாளும் ஏந்தி வாழ்வேன்
அடி ஆகாயமே உன் மீதிலே
வெண்மேகம் ஆகி சாய்வேன்
You are my life.. You are my life
My longing heart asks...
You are my life.. You are my life
Is my soul taking refuge in you?
ஜீவன் நீயே..ஜீவன் நீயே
ஏங்கிடும் எந்தன் நெஞ்சமோ
Does my soul leap when you look at me?
Do all the waves of my ocean search for you?
ஜீவன் நீயே..ஜீவன் நீயே
என் உயிர் உந்தன் தஞ்சமோ
When I go to sleep thinking of you
Even my eyelids refuse to close
Like a child inside the womb
I am living in love
நீ பார்த்ததும் உயிர் தாவுதோ
என் கடலின் அலையெல்லாம் உன்னை தேடுதோ
Oh, in your hands throughout my lifetime
You alone are enough, my love
Even on the day when the earth covers me in death
My heart will seek your fragrance
உன்னை நினைத்து உறங்க சென்றால்
இமைகளும் மறுக்குதே
கருவறை குழந்தை போலவே
காதலில் நானே வாழ்கிறேன்
You are my life.. You are my life
My longing heart asks...
You are my life.. You are my life
Is my soul taking refuge in you?
அட என் ஆயுளே உன் கையிலே
நீ மட்டும் போதும் அன்பே
அடி மண்மூடிடும் அந்நாளிலும்
உன் வாசம் தேடும் நெஞ்சே
ஜீவன் நீயே..ஜீவன் நீயே
ஏங்கிடும் எந்தன் நெஞ்சமோ
ஜீவன் நீயே..ஜீவன் நீயே
என் உயிர் உந்தன் தஞ்சமோ
