காற்றில் சிக்கி
வானம் போன மேகம் வரை
வார்த்தை சிக்கி
தேடி போனேன் நானும் எனை
Caught in the wind,
like a cloud drifting across the sky,
trapped in words,
I went searching for myself.
ஜில்லென்று மௌனம் ஒன்று
ஓ கலையுதே
போகாத பாதை ஒன்று
அட இங்கே
A cool silence
oh, is dissolving.
A path untraveled
ah, lies right here.
ஒரு மாதிரி
புது தாகமே
எனை தேடியே
நான் இனிமே
A strange kind of
new thirst,
seeking me out
from now on.
பனி காதிலே
ஜதி போடுதே
எதிர் பாடுதே
என் கால் தடமே
The mist in my ears
dances to a rhythm,
singing back in response
to my own footsteps.
