In the morning time
At the moment dreams dissolve
I waited, my dear girl
Just to see your lips smile
காலை பொழுதில்
கனவுகள் கலையும் நொடியில்
காத்திருந்தேனடி
உன் இதழ்கள் சிரிப்பதை பார்க்கவே
In the morning time
At the moment dreams dissolve
I waited, my dear girl
Just to see your lips smile
காலை பொழுதில்
கனவுகள் கலையும் நொடியில்
காத்திருந்தேனடி
உன் இதழ்கள் சிரிப்பதை பார்க்கவே
In the time of night
Why did shyness become a guise?
Is there moisture on the eyelashes?
Is a distance still required?
இரவென்னும் வேளையில்
வெக்கம் வேஷம் ஆனதேன்
இமைகளில் ஈரமா
இடைவெளி இனியும் வேண்டுமா....ஆ......

Hesitation, all alone
Stumbling along
Losing direction
And getting lost completely
தயக்கம் தனியாய்
தடுமாறி
திசைமாறி
தொலைந்தும் போக
Hesitation, all alone
Stumbling along
Losing direction
And getting lost completely
தயக்கம் தனியாய்
தடுமாறி....
திசைமாறி.....
தொலைந்தும் போக
I enjoyed with my eyes closed
Your hands upon me
Teasing and touching
I hated the distance between us
Your gaze upon me
Embracing and brushing against me
கண்மூடி ரசித்தேன்
உன் கைகள் என்னை
சீண்டுவதை தீண்டுவதை
இடை தூரம் வெறுத்தேன்
உன் பார்வை என்னை
தழுவிடவே உரசிடவே
Why do we need words, my dear?
Are explanations necessary anymore?
This is a new story
A prologue for the coming days
வார்த்தைகள் ஏனடா
விளங்கங்கள் இனி தேவையா
இது ஒரு புது கதை
இனி வரும் நாட்களின் முன்னுரை......
In the morning time
At the moment dreams dissolve
Male : I waited, my dear girl
Just to see your lips smile
காலை பொழுதில்
கனவுகள் கலையும் நொடியில்
காத்திருந்தேனடி
உன் இதழ்கள் சிரிப்பதை பார்க்கவே
In the time of night
Female : Why did shyness become a guise?
This is a new story
Male : A prologue for the coming days
இரவென்னும் வேளையில்
வெக்கம் வேஷம் ஆனதேன்
இது ஒரு புது கதை
இனி வரும் நாட்களின் முன்னுரை
