காதலே உனக்கென்ன
பாவம் செய்தேனோ இதுவரை
விட்டு விட்டு எங்கே சென்றாயோ
Oh Love
What sin did I commit against you?
Until now
Leaving me intermittently, where did you go?
ஹே காதலே உனக்கென்ன
பாவம் செய்தேனோ இதுவரை
விட்டு விட்டு எங்கே சென்றாயோ
Hey Love
What sin did I commit against you?
Until now
Leaving me intermittently, where did you go?
எத்தனை நாட்களாய்
இத்தனை காதலை உனக்கென
சேர்த்து வைத்தேன் நெஞ்சே நான்
For how many days
So much love
Saved just for you
In my heart... I have kept it
எத்தனை ஆழமாய்
இத்தனை ஆசையை
எனக்குள்ளே நான்
மறைத்தேன் அன்பே
How deeply
So many desires
I hid within myself, my dear
காதலே உனக்கென்ன
பாவம் செய்தேனோ இதுவரை
விட்டு விட்டு எங்கே சென்றாயோ
Oh Love
What sin did I commit against you?
Until now
Leaving me intermittently, where did you go?
நேற்றிரவு
விழித்திருந்தேன்
காரணம் நீ காரணம்
நீ காரணம் நீ
Last night I stayed awake
The reason is you
The reason is you
The reason is you
அதிகாலையிலே
விழித்து கொண்டேன்
காரணம் நீ காரணம் நீ
காரணம் நீ
Early in the morning I woke up
The reason is you
The reason is you
The reason is you
உனை பிரிந்து
எங்கே போனாலும்
நினைவுடனே நீயும்
வருவாயே நீ இல்லா
இடமும் எனக்கேது
No matter where I go away from you
You come along with my memories
Is there any place for me without you?
உன்னருகே
சேர்ந்தே இருந்தாலும்
கண் முழுதும் நீயே
நிற்பாயே இமைகளது
பாவம் இமைக்காது
எனை ஏதோ செய்கின்றாய்
Even when I am right beside you
You fill my entire sight
Pity the eyelids, they refrain from blinking
You are doing something to me
காதலே உனக்கென்ன
பாவம் செய்தேனோ செய்தேனோ
இதுவரை விட்டு விட்டு எங்கே
சென்றாயோ
Oh Love
What sin did I commit against you... commit against you?
Until now
Leaving me intermittently, where did you go?
வீட்டு சுவரில்
கிறுக்கும் சிறு பிள்ளை
போல நானும் உந்தன்
பேரை காற்றில்
வரைகின்றேனே அவசரமாய்
Scribbling on the house walls
Like a little child, I too
Your name in the air
I am drawing hastily
உன்னை பார்க்கும்
நொடியில் கண்ணாடி பார்க்க
தோன்றும் உந்தன் கண்ணில்
என்னை நான் பார்க்கின்றேனே
The moment I see you
I feel like looking into a mirror
In your eyes
I see myself
ஒரு கனவாக
நீ கலைந்து போனாலும்
இரவெல்லாம் தொலைந்த
என் கனவுக்கு காத்திருப்பேன்
Even if like a dream
You fade away and go
All through the night
I will wait for my lost dream
உளறியது வார்த்தை
அல்ல நீ வசிக்கும் இதயம்
என் கண்ணே உருகியது
நானும் அல்ல நீ கொடுத்த
காதல் பெண்ணே
What babbled was not words
But the heart where you reside, my darling
What melted was not me
But the love you gave, my girl
காதலே உனக்கென்ன
பாவம் செய்தேனோ இதுவரை
விட்டு விட்டு எங்கே சென்றாயோ
