What is this sudden change?
Even I do not understand it
You are the shining star, my darling
Are your eyes a magnet?
Won't they draw me towards you?
Is a single word enough to become my life?
என்ன இந்த மாற்றமோ
எனக்குதான் தெரியாது
தாரகையும் நீயடி கண்மணி
கண்ணுதான் காந்தமோ
என்னையும் இழுக்காதே
ஓரே ஒரு வார்த்தையும்தான் வாழ்கையோ
What else is needed?
A little time is more than enough
Just to love, my friend, along with you
Along with you, my friend
என்ன இன்னும் வேணும்
கொஞ்ச நேரம் போதுமே
காதலிக்க தானே தோழி நீ கூடவே
தோழி நீ கூடவே
You are the shore that love searches for
You are that shore, my dear girl
I am like the day that separates from the night, my dear

What the gentle breeze whispered
The beetle does not hear
There is nothing more suitable than you
I wander around searching for you
And I am enjoying this journey of life
Even blindfolded, I smile in joy
...............................
Just look at me a little
Only you should look at me
Without showing any embarrassment
Only you should smile
Only you should smile
பூங்காற்று சொன்னது
வண்டுதான் கேட்காது
உன்னைவிட ஏற்றதும்தான் இல்லையே
உன்னத்தேடி அலையறேன்
வாழ்கையும் ரசிக்கிறேன்
கண்ண கட்டி நானும்தான் சிரிக்கிறேன்
You are the shore that love searches for
You are that shore, my dear girl
I am like the day that separates from the night, my dear
கொஞ்ச என்ன தானே
நீ மட்டும் பாக்கணும்
வெட்கம் தெரியாமல்
நீ மட்டும் சிரிக்கணும்
நீ மட்டும் சிரிக்கணும்
கடலிங்க தேடும்
கரை நீ தானடி
இரவினை பிரியும் தினம்தான் நானடி
