கடவுள் தந்த கவிதைப் போல
உனை நான் பார்க்கிறேன்
இதற்கும் மேலே என்ன வேண்டும்
எனை நான் கேட்கிறேன்
Like a poem gifted by God
I look at you...
What more could I possibly need above all else
I ask myself....
இரு விழியில் இதயம் தூங்க
தினசரியும் கனவை வாங்க
இனி இவளின் இரண்டாம் பாகம் நீயல்லவா
For the heart to sleep in two eyes
To embrace dreams every single day
From now on, her second sky
Is indeed you, isn't it...
பேசும் மழையே ஓஓஒ
நனைய வரவா
பூவின் இதழாலே
புனைய வரவா..ஆஆ...
சாலை நிழல் போலே
அலைந்துவிடவா
மாலை நிலவோடு
தொலைந்து விடவா
Oh talking rain, hooo
Shall I come to get drenched?
With the petals of a flower
Shall I come to weave memories?
Like a shadow on the road
Shall I wander around?
With the evening moon
Shall I get lost?
உன் கண்களும் என் பாதமும் பயணம்
தீராத தொடரும் கதை ஆகும்....
Your eyes and my footsteps
An endless journey
Will become a continuing story....
உன் சீண்டலும் என் தீண்டலும்
மௌனம் கொள்ளாத கடலின் அலையாகும்
Your gentle teasing and my tender touch
Will become the unceasing waves of a silent ocean
நீரோடு போகும் மேகம்
யாரோடு பேசி போகும் அறியாது அந்த ஆகாயம்
The cloud moving along with the water
The sky does not know who it speaks to as it passes
நான் பாடும் ஆரிராரோ
நீயின்றி வேறு யாரோ
என் ஜீவன் உன்னால் வாழாதோ....
எனக்கே எனக்கே....
இது போதும் போதுமே
The lullaby that I sing
You are someone else today
Won't my life live on because of you?....
உன் நெஞ்சமும் என் தஞ்சமும்
ஒரு நாளும் பிரியாத உயிரின் இசை ஆகும்
Just for me, just for me...
This is more than enough..
வேரோடு நீரைப் போல
ஒன்றோடு ஒன்றாய் சேர
விதையாக உன்னில் தொலைந்தேனே
Your heart and my refuge
Will become the music of a soul that never separates
ஈரைந்து மாதம் தானே தாயோடு யாதும் ஆனேன்
அதன் பின்னே நானே நீயானேன்
எனக்கே எனக்கே....அது போதும் போதுமே
Like water nurturing the roots
To merge into one another
I lost myself within you like a seed
கடவுள் தந்த கவிதைப் போல
உனை நான் பார்க்கிறேன்
இதற்கும் மேலே என்ன வேண்டும்
எனை நான் கேட்கிறேன்
Ten months of motherly bond
I became everything with the mother
And after that, I became you
இரு விழியில் இதயம் தூங்க
தினசரியும் கனவை வாங்க
இனி இவளின் இரண்டாம் பாகம் நீயல்லவா
Just for me, just for me...
This is more than enough..
பேசும் மழையே ஓஓஒ
நனைய வரவா
பூவின் இதழாலே
புனைய வரவா..ஆஆ...
சாலை நிழல் போலே
அலைந்துவிடவா
மாலை நிலவோடு
தொலைந்து விடவா

Shall I come to get drenched?
With the petals of a flower

Like a poem gifted by God
Pola unai naan parkiren…
I look at you...
Ethurkum mele enna vendum
What more could I possibly need above all else
Enai naan ketkkiren….
I ask myself....
Iru vizhiyil idhayam toonga
For the heart to sleep in two eyes
Dhinasariyum kanavai vaanga
To embrace dreams every single day
Ini ivalin irandam vaanamum
From now on, her second sky
Nee allavaa…
Is indeed you, isn't it...
Pesum mazhaiyee hooo
Oh talking rain, hooo
Nenaya varavaa…
Shall I come to get drenched?

Your eyes and my footsteps
Payanum theeradha
An endless journey
Thodarum kathai aagum….
Will become a continuing story....
Un seendalum en theendalum
Your gentle teasing and my tender touch
Mounam kolladha kadalin alaiyaagum
Will become the unceasing waves of a silent ocean

The cloud moving along with the water
Yaarodu pesi pogum ariyaadhu andha aagayam
The sky does not know who it speaks to as it passes
Naan padum aariraaro
The lullaby that I sing
Nee indruveru yaaro
You are someone else today
En jeevan unnal vazhaatho….
Won't my life live on because of you?....
Enakke enakkee…
Just for me, just for me...
Ithu pothum pothume..
This is more than enough..
Un nenjamum en thanjamum
Your heart and my refuge
Oru naalum piriyaadha uyirin isai aagum
Will become the music of a soul that never separates
Verodu neerai pola
Like water nurturing the roots
Ondrodu ondraai sera
To merge into one another
Vithaiyaaga unnil tholainthene
I lost myself within you like a seed
Eerindhu madham thaane
Ten months of motherly bond
Thaaiyodu yaadhum aanen
I became everything with the mother
Adhan pinnae naane neeyaanen
And after that, I became you
Enakke enakkee…
Just for me, just for me...
Ithu pothum pothume..
This is more than enough..
Kadavul thantha kavithai
