மிச்சங்கள் கேட்டணைக்கும்
பெரு மழையாய் மாறினாய்
Begging longingly for kisses
I turn into a helpless infant
Embracing whatever remains
You transformed into a heavy downpour
போர்வைக்குள் போய் களைந்து
மாரம்பிழைகள் மீட்டுவோம்
கார் விழியும் இமை போலே
தினம் மஞ்சம் கூடுவோம்
Hiding and dissolving under the blanket
We shall strum the notes of our past mistakes
Like the dark eye and its protecting eyelid
We shall unite on the bed every day
பகலோடு இருள் கோர்க்கும்
