I want to hold you on my chest
Stroking your hair and kissing your forehead
I want my heart to feel soothing relief
என் உள்ளம் தித்திக்க
நீ பக்கத்தில் வர வேணுமே
கண்ணுல ஒத்திக்க
உன் உள்ளத்த தர வேணுமே
For my inner soul to feel sweetness
You must come close to me
To press gently against my eyes
You must surrender your heart to me
நானும்தான் வாழவே
என்றும் எனக்கென நீ வேணுமே
For me to truly live my life
I need you forever for myself
