கடவுளே கடவுளே
மீண்டும் நான் பிறந்து
விட்டேன் உன்னாலே
கனவிலே கனவிலே
வாழ்ந்திடத் தொடங்கி
விட்டேன் தன்னாலே
Oh God, Oh God
I have been reborn because of you
In dreams, in dreams
I have automatically started living
அர்ச்சனைப்பூக்கள்
எல்லாம் உன் முகம் மேல்
தூவ பூத்திடும் நாள் முதலாய்
காத்துக்கொண்டே இருக்கும்
ஆலய மணி ஓசை உந்தன்
செவி நுழைய யார் வந்து
அடித்தாலும் ஜோராய்
தலை ஆட்டும்
For all worship flowers to shower upon your face
They wait continuously from the day they bloom
For the sound of the temple bell to enter your ears
It nods joyfully no matter who strikes it
நான் இன்று
காண்பதெல்லாம் பொய்
இல்லை மெய் தானம்மா
தட்சணை தருவதற்கே
உயிரைத் தந்தாயம்மா
Everything I witness today
Is not a lie, it is indeed the truth, my lady
Just to give an offering, you gave your life, my lady
கடவுளே கடவுளே
மீண்டும் நான் பிறந்து
விட்டேன் உன்னாலே
கனவிலே கனவிலே
வாழ்ந்திடத் தொடங்கி
விட்டேன் தன்னாலே
Oh God, Oh God
I have been reborn because of you
In dreams, in dreams
I have automatically started living
.............................
கண்ணை பார்த்ததும்
வேகமாய் மின்னல் அடித்தது
நெஞ்சிலே தோளில் சிறகுகள்
இன்றியே தேகம் பறக்குது
விண்ணிலே
As soon as I looked into your eyes, quickly
Lightning struck my heart
Without wings on my shoulders
My body flies in the sky
இந்த புது உயிரே நீ
தந்ததாய் என் புலன் ஐந்தும்
நன்றி சொல்லுதே ஓர் எருதாய்
எருதாய் அலைந்து வந்தேன்
உன் இமையின் அழைப்பால்
கரையில் வந்தேன் உன் விரலில்
என் மனசும் மோதிரமாகியதே
Saying that you gave this new life
All my five senses express their gratitude
I wandered aimlessly like a stray river
By the call of your eyelashes, I reached the shore
My heart became a ring on your finger
கடவுளே கடவுளே
மீண்டும் நான் பிறந்து
விட்டேன் உன்னாலே
கனவிலே கனவிலே
வாழ்ந்திடத் தொடங்கி
விட்டேன் தன்னாலே
Oh God, Oh God
I have been reborn because of you
In dreams, in dreams
I have automatically started living

ஓ ஹோ ஹோ
மண்ணை முதல் முறை
பார்த்திட தாயின் கருவறை
சொன்னது என்னை முதல்
முறை பார்த்திட உந்தன் கரு
விழி சொன்னது

மலை உயரத்திலே
நதி தோன்றுமே அது சேரும்
இடம் கடல் ஆகுமே இது
உயிரும் உயிரும் பேசும்
மொழி இதை விடவும் சிறந்தது
எந்த மொழி என் உயிரை உன்
பாதத்தில் காணிக்கை
ஆக்குகிறேன்
To see the earth for the first time
Mother's womb directed me
To see myself for the first time
Your dark eyes directed me
கடவுளே கடவுளே
மீண்டும் நான் பிறந்து
விட்டேன் உன்னாலே
கனவிலே கனவிலே
வாழ்ந்திடத் தொடங்கி
விட்டேன் தன்னாலே
A river originates at the height of a mountain
And the place it reaches becomes the ocean
This is the language where soul talks to soul
Which language can be better than this?
I offer my life as a tribute at your feet

எல்லாம் உன் முகம் மேல்
தூவ பூத்திடும் நாள் முதலாய்
காத்துக்கொண்டே இருக்கும்
ஆலய மணி ஓசை உந்தன்
