காத்திருந்தாய் அன்பே
எந்தன் காதல் நீதானே...

மழையாய் பொழிகிறதே
You waited, my love
You are indeed my love
A hundred thousand stars rain down like a shower

காத்திருந்தாய் அன்பே
எந்தன் காதல் நீதானே...
ஓர் லட்சம் விண்மீன்
மழையாய் பொழிகிறதே
You waited, my love
You are indeed my love
A hundred thousand stars rain down like a shower
உன் விழியால் அன்பே
என்னை உருகச் செய்தாயே
என் சீனி கண்ணீர்
உன்மேல் விழுகிறதே
With your eyes, my love
You made me melt
My sweet tears fall upon you
கடலோடு சேரும்
வான் மழைத்தூளி போல்
உன் கண்ணோடு மணியாக
கலந்திருப்பேன்
Like a raindrop joining the sea
I will merge with your eyes like a precious pupil
Like shadows sticking close to the body
I will follow right behind you
உடலோடு ஒட்டிச் செல்லும்
நிழல்களை போல்
நான் உன்னோடு பின்னோடு
தொடர்ந்திருப்பேன்
Oh, an earthquake strikes my heart because of you
உன்னாலே நெஞ்சில் அடி பூகம்பம்
The wind opens up the flowers
Love unlocks the senses
The lover's tiff has ended and vanished
Let us make love
பூக்களை திறக்குது காற்று
புலங்களை திறக்குது காதல்
முடிந்தது மறைந்தது ஊடல்
காதல் செய்வோம்
Love blossoms just once
The search begins after the two unite
Love is both the beginning and the end
Let us make love
ஒருமுறை மலர்வது காதல்
இருவரும் கலந்தபின் தேடல்
முதல் எது முடிவது காதல்
காதல் செய்வோம்
You waited, my love
I had already blossomed before
You waited, my love
I had already blossomed before
காத்திருந்தாய் அன்பே
நான் பூத்திருந்தேன் முன்பே
காத்திருந்தாய் அன்பே
நான் பூத்திருந்தேன் முன்பே
You waited, my love
You are indeed my love
A hundred thousand stars rain down like a shower
My love, my love
காத்திருந்தாய் அன்பே
எந்தன் காதல் நீதானே
ஓர் லட்சம் விண்மீன்
மழையாய் பொழிகிறதே
அன்பே அன்பே
In the gentle word you spoke
My head touches heaven, my dear
The moment you gave your consent
All my male pride dissolves, my dear
நீ சொல்லிய மெல்லிய
சொல்லிலே
என் தலை சொர்க்கதை
முட்டுதடி
You gave life to my longing
You extended the days of my lifespan
Extended them...
You took over my world
You gifted me the land of your smile
நீ சம்மதம் சொல்லிய
நொடியில்
ஆண்புகழ் மொத்தமும்
அழியுதடி
Ah, my beloved lover, I made your heart throb
Taking away my eyes
I fell asleep, my soul
I realized your love is true
என் ஆவலை வாழ வைத்தாய்
என் ஆயுளின் நாட்களை நீள வைத்தாய்
நீள வைத்தாய்
என் பூமியை எடுத்துக் கொண்டாய்
உன் புன்னகை தேசத்தை பரிசளித்தாய்
Oh girl, I was there along all your paths
Hereafter, I will become the path you walk upon
ஆ.. காதலனே உன்னை
துடிக்கவிட்டேன்
கண்களை வாங்கி கொண்டு
உறங்கவிட்டேன் என் உயிரே
உன் அன்பு மெய் என்று உணர்ந்துவிட்டேன்
I agreed and merged into you
அடி பெண்ணே உன் வழி
எல்லாம் நான் இருந்தேன்
இனி நீ போகின்ற வழியாக
நான் இருப்பேன்
Oh, an earthquake strikes my heart because of you
சம்மதித்தேன் உன்னில்
சங்கமித்தேன்
My sweet cuckoo, gentle sunshine, little beauty, I love you
Hey golden feet, wonderful one, dream of mine, I love you
உன்னால நெஞ்சில் அடி பூகம்பம்
You waited, my love
You are indeed my love
A hundred thousand stars rain down like a shower
என் செங்குயிலே சிறு வெயிலே
சிற்றழகே ஐ லவ் யூ
ஹே பொர்பதமே அற்புதமே
சொர்பனமே ஐ லவ் யூ
With your eyes, my love
You made me melt
My sweet tears fall upon you
காத்திருந்தாய் அன்பே
எந்தன் காதல் நீதானே...
ஓர் லட்சம் விண்மீன்
மழையாய் பொழிகிறதே
Like a raindrop joining the sea
I will merge with your eyes like a precious pupil
Like shadows sticking close to the body
I will follow right behind you
