காலின் கீழே
வானம் காதல் கொண்டு நானும் மேகமாக
நூறு கோடி பூவாய்
நெஞ்சின் உள்ளே
பூத்தாள் தேவ தேவதை
Beneath my feet
The sky falls in love, and I turn into a cloud
Like a hundred crore flowers blooming
Inside my heart
Bloomed the divine goddess
ஏதேதோ சொல்ல தோணுதே
என் வார்த்தை ஏதும் சிக்க வில்லையே
மூளை உன் பேர் என்ன யோசிக்கின்றதே
என் கண்களும் களவு போனதே ஹே ஏ ஹே
I feel like expressing so many things
Any word of mine fails me
My mind keeps pondering what your name could be
My eyes too have been stolen away, hae yae hae
பேசாமல் பேசி சென்றாய்
தேடாமல் தேட வைத்து நீங்கி சென்றாய்
வாழ்கின்ற காலம் யாவும்
பெண்ணே நீ என்னோடு வந்தாலே போதும்
Without speaking words, you spoke and went away
Without making me search, you made me search and left
For all the remaining days I live
Oh girl, if you just walk alongside me, that is enough
