Two oceans exist as two drops in the eyes,
Does it hurt because two bodies have separated?
Is love truly about feeling your presence right beside me?
I live as your soul, as a hidden mystery.
கடலிரண்டு துளியிரண்டாய் விழிகளில்
உடலிரண்டு பிரிந்ததனால் வழிகிறதோ
உடனிருப்பை உணர்வதுதான் காதலா
உயிரதுவாய் மறைப்பொருளாய் வாழ்கிறேன்
Is it the joy of a flower opening its heart
Before it fades away?
Within the minute hand of a clock,
We have passed years so swiftly.
மறைவதற்குள் மணம் திறக்கும்
மலரதுவின் மகிழ்வோ...
நிமிட முள்ளில் வருடங்களை
கடந்துவிட்டோம் விரைவாய்
With the potency of spreading poison,
You have mingled into me permanently.
In your desires, salvation
I have attained in full contentment.
விஷம் பரவும் வீரியத்தில்
விரவி விட்டாய் நிலையாய்
உன் இச்சைகளில் மோட்சங்களை
அடைந்துவிட்டேன் நிறைவாய்
Two oceans exist as two drops in the eyes,
Does it hurt because two bodies have separated?
Is love truly about feeling your presence right beside me?
I live as your soul, as a hidden mystery.
Mmmmm.....mmmm....mmm...mmm....
Oooooh.....oooooh.....oooooh.....oooooh.....
கடலிரண்டு துளியிரண்டாய் விழிகளில்
